Trump says he will not run in 2028 if he loses in November

Former President Trump said this would be his last presidential campaign and he would not run in 2028 if he loses the race this November.

In an interview on the television show Full Measure, Trump told host Sharyl Attkisson Sunday he doesn’t have any plans to run again if he loses to Vice President Harris.


“I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all,” he said when asked if a fourth campaign would happen.

Trump is currently in the fight for his political life with Harris.

After successfully winning his first election in 2016, he lost to President Biden in 2020. He reentered the race and was polling well against Biden, despite his ongoing legal battles and guilty felony conviction.

Trump would be 82 by the 2028 election. Age has surrounded this campaign season, as Biden faced criticism for his age and eventually passed the torch to a new generation and Harris.

According to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris has a 55 percent chance of winning.

Both candidates are vying for a set of critical battleground states. New polling shows Harris has increased her support in those states after the presidential debate against Trump.
