In his latest round of will-he-or-won’t-he, Donald Trump on Sunday got closer than ever to indicating he will run for president again, telling Fox Business he’s already made up his mind but can’t reveal his answer because of campaign finance issues.

The thing is, experts told The Daily Beast, in his quest to avoid violating election laws, Trump may have done just that.

Asked on Sunday about a possible 2024 bid, the former president told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, “I do know my answer, but I can’t reveal it yet because that has to do with campaign financing.” He added, “We’re going to do very well,” and said CNN and MSNBC “are gonna come out and endorse me” because, he claimed, his candidacy will increase viewership.

While Trump is notorious for playing games about the true intentions of his remarks, he’s previously said he’s already made up his mind. But his statements to Bartiromo—including a reference to endorsements—suggest he may have crossed into new territory, at least in the eyes of the Federal Election Commission.
