President Trump Comments On 2028 Election – “Not Going To Be Me”

President Trump said on Tuesday that it’s “not going to be me” regarding the 2028 presidential election, adding that it will probably be someone sitting at the table of his Cabinet meeting.

“It’s gonna be somebody who’s probably sitting at this table. Could be a couple people sitting at this table. It could be a couple people running together sitting at this table,” Trump said.

“I want them to win because we’ve done a great job for this country, and I want that to be carried forward,” he continued.

USA TODAY shared:

Others seated at the Cabinet table included Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‒ both considered strong candidates to run to succeed Trump as the GOP nominee.

After teasing a possible unconstitutional third term for much of his first year back in office, Trump has made several remarks acknowledging that he can’t run again in 2028.

The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution states: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” Nonetheless, Trump for months toyed with the idea of running again and even sold Trump 2028 hats.

At the moment, Vice President JD Vance is the overwhelming favorite to be the 2028 GOP presidential nominee.

In November, Vance opened up about potentially running for president in 2028 to succeed Trump.

Speaking with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Vance said that he plans to have a serious heart-to-heart with his boss after the midterm elections.

However, for now, he’s planning to focus on the job at hand and serve the American people, Vance said.

“I also, whenever I think about that, I try to put it out of my head and remind myself the American people elected me to do a job right now and my job is to do it,” he said at the time.
