Conservative news aggregator Matt Drudge made the announcement Tuesday on his website.
The president plans to tap former digital adviser Brad Parscale, who is presently spearheading a pro-Trump outside group called America First Policies, the campaign announced in a statement that came out shortly after the Drudge report.
According to Drudge, Trump plans to “stun the political” world by announcing his reelection bid only 13 months into his presidency, but Trump’s decision to run for reelection is not a surprise.
He has repeatedly talked about being president for eight years, and he filed paperwork with the Federal Elections Commission in January of last year for his reelection committee — the same month he was inaugurated.
