September 22nd 2024.
During a recent interview with Full Disclosure, an American news outlet, former president Donald Trump stated that he has no plans to run for president again in 2028 if he loses the upcoming election to Kamala Harris. When asked specifically about his potential plans for the next election cycle, Trump confidently responded, "No, I don't. I think that will be it." He went on to express his hopes for a successful outcome in the current election, stating, "I don't see that at all. Hopefully, we will be successful."
This statement is significant as it marks the first time Trump has explicitly ruled out the possibility of seeking a third term as president if he were to lose in November. As per the 22nd amendment of the US constitution, a president can only serve two four-year terms. While Trump has previously hinted at the idea of running for a third term, it seems that he has now definitively decided against it.
Recent polls have shown Harris leading Trump by five points nationwide, with her popularity rising significantly since July. A new NBC poll of 1,000 people has Harris at 49%, while Trump trails at 44%. This marks a significant change from July when Trump was leading by two points. In addition, Harris' favorability rating has increased by 16 points since July, making her the most popular politician in an NBC poll since George W. Bush's surge in popularity after 9/11.
It is worth noting that Trump has a history of refusing to accept election results, as seen in the 2020 election when he lost to Joe Biden and falsely claimed that the election had been "stolen." This rhetoric ultimately led to the violent storming of the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to overturn the election results. Since then, Trump has continued to refuse to acknowledge the legitimacy of the election and has not committed to accepting the results of the 2024 election if he were to run again.
In light of these developments, it is clear that Trump's decision not to run for president in 2028, if he loses to Harris, is a significant one. It remains to be seen how the current election will play out, but it is evident that Harris has gained a significant lead in the polls and has become a popular figure among registered voters. As for Trump, it seems that he has finally come to terms with the fact that he may not be able to run for president again and is instead focusing on the current election.
