"America needs a superhero," Trump said, showing a graphic animation of himself in front of Trump Tower with a superhero uniform and laser eyes.

Donald Trump launched a new promo video on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, saying that "America needs a superhero," and featuring a graphic animation of himself in front of Trump Tower with a superhero uniform and laser eyes. 

The last time Trump previewed a major announcement it was in the lead up to his November 15 reveal that he would be running for president in 2024. He could potentially be announcing a running mate for the vice presidential spot on his ticket.

Trump's run for president was announced substantially early for the 2024 election and has launched him into the spotlight for the nomination from the RNC, which is undergoing its own upheaval. Ronna McDaniel, who has served as RNC chair since 2017, is being challenged for her leadership by Harmeet Dhillon, Mike Lindell, and others who want to see a change in the party. 

McDaniel and the RNC had promised a "red wave" during the 2022 midterm Congressional elections, but that wave was smaller than anticipated. Though the GOP will have the majority position in the US House come the 2023 Congressional term, they will have limited ability to get legislation passed as the Senate and White House are both controlled by Democrats.
