Donald Trump says he doesn’t believe he will run in 2028 if he loses in November

Donald Trump likely would not run for president again in 2028 if he loses the election this November.

During an interview that aired Sunday on TV news broadcaster Sinclair’s Full Measure, the former president was asked if he could see himself running in 2028.

“No, I don’t,” Trump said.

If Trump wins this election, the 22nd Amendment would bar him from running again in 2028, but a loss now would leave another campaign on the table for the future.

Trump is rare to concede anything, but it seems running again in 2028, at which point he would be 82 years old, is something even he won’t bluster about.

“That will be it,” Trump added. “I don’t see that at all. I think hopefully we’re gonna be successful [in 2024].”

According to our poll tracker, Kamala Harris retains a nearly three-point lead over Donald Trump at this stage in the campaign, a gap that’s grown gradually since the candidates were functionally tied in late July.

The more immediate concern for many is whether Trump will accept the 2024 election results if they show he lost.

In August, Joe Biden said he was “not confident” at all Trump would concede, setting up another potential January 6.

“He means what he says,” Biden said. “We don’t take him seriously. He means it. All the stuff about ‘if we lose, there’ll be a bloodbath’. [The elections] have to be stolen, look what they’re trying to do now in the local election districts.”

Earlier this summer, Trump refused to give a straight yes-or-no answer on whether he would accept the 2024 results.

“If it’s a fair, legal and good election, absolutely,” he said during the debate, before repeating his baseless claims that “fraud” derailed his election chances in 2020.

Other prominent Republicans such as Elise Stefanik, Tim Scott and Marco Rubio have also suggested they may not accept the 2024 results.

When Biden bowed out of the 2024 race, it made Donald Trump officially the oldest person to run for president in U.S. history. An issue that would be amplified he ran again in 2028.
