This morning, Mr. Pate was on Townsquare Media radio station WFFN-FM with "Steve & DC" and was asked if the former president told him he was running again in 2024.
"Darn right"! Pate said, adding "You just have to ask one question. Are you better off now than you were four years ago"?
The full interview with Stan Pate can be heard below.
According to Pate, the announcement on former-President Trump's campaign for 2024 could come as early as tomorrow, after the mid-term results have been announced across the country.
