President Trump's allies are pushing to dissuade him from running for president again in 2024 and possibly being handed a second defeat, The Atlantic reported.

Trump has repeatedly indicated that he could seek the Republican candidacy in the next presidential election and has raised tens of millions of dollars from supporters to fund his political future.

The Atlantic reported that one of Trump's former campaign advisors, who spoke anonymously, said they planned to warn Trump that he could be known as a serial political loser if he fails again.

The person is planning to use the example of Adlai Stevenson — who lost two straight presidential elections in the 1950s — to dissuade him.

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker and a Trump ally, told The Atlantic: "I don't think he wants to risk losing twice. Once, you can argue about the outcome. Twice, it becomes a repudiation."

Trump's hatred of losing has been well documented across his career, and others who know Trump well have echoed Gingrich's prediction.

Trump has refused to accept that he lost last year's election. Instead, he's continued to push baseless claims of widespread election fraud.

John Bolton, his former national security advisor, said of his former boss earlier this month: "I think he knows deep inside, although he will never admit it, he did lose in 2020 and very much fears losing in 2024 because if he hates anything in the world, he hates being called a loser."

Mary Trump, the former president's estranged niece, told Insider earlier this year that she believed her uncle's political activity was a ruse to keep raising money from his supporters.

"It's important to remember that Donald couldn't care less about politics. He couldn't care less about this country. He couldn't care less about the Republicans," she said in March.
