WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — If former President Donald Trump is looking to make a comeback in 2024, it may not be as a Republican.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump has recently spoken with associates about forming a new political party.

According to people familiar with the matter, Trump would want to call the new political faction the Patriot Party, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Trump has switched political parties several times through the years, at one point becoming a Democrat.
