Trump Says He Would 'Love' to Run Again in 2028
Trump said the Constitution blocks a third term, but he described himself as nostalgic for rallies and open to using vetoes to shape policy.
- President Trump told New York Post columnist Miranda Devine on her Pod Force One podcast he would "love" to run again in 2028, while acknowledging the constitutional restriction preventing a third term.
- The Constitution prohibits a third presidential term via the 22nd Amendment; Trump has previously accepted he is "not allowed to run" following Republican Speaker House Mike Johnson's assessment that no viable path exists for changing it.
- Trump emphasized more than two years remain in his presidency, describing that period as time to accomplish goals; he suggested using the "Veto" strategy to handle potential Democratic opposition if they regain congressional control.
- Polling suggests Democrats may gain House ground ahead of Tuesday's elections, potentially complicating Trump's ability to advance his agenda through Congress and forcing reliance on executive power.
- Changing term limits would require ratification by three-quarters of the states and a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress, making constitutional amendment an unlikely path for any future candidacy.
