President Donald Trump teased supporters Tuesday night that he may announce a run to retake the White House in 2024 and he may skip the inauguration of Joe Biden in 2021.

According to a report by Politico, Trump told a crowd at a White House Christmas party that he’s thinking of making a political comeback in the next term.

“It’s been an amazing four years. We are trying to do another four years. Otherwise, I’ll see you in four years,” Trump told a crowd of mostly Republican National Committee members, Politico reported.

The Associated Press reported that the video was streamed on Facebook by one attendee, Pam Pollard, who is national committeewoman for the Oklahoma GOP.

The idea has been floating around recently as Trump is expected to announce a 2024 campaign shortly after the Electoral College meets on Dec. 14, NBC News reported.

But the president is not expected to attend the inauguration of the president-elect or even place a courtesy call.

Despite Trump’s announcement, Biden officials say nothing would affect their inauguration plans on Jan. 20.
