Former President Donald Trump has stated he will not run for president again in 2028 if he loses the upcoming election on November 5. In an interview aired on the US news program “Full Measure,” Trump, 78, responded to a question about his future plans, saying, “No, I don’t. I think that will be it. I don’t see that at all.”
Despite his firm stance on the 2028 election, Trump expressed his determination to succeed in the upcoming ballot, emphasizing his focus on winning this November.
As the election approaches, Trump finds himself in a tightly contested race against Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, with both candidates neck-and-neck in crucial battleground states that often determine the outcome of close elections.
The Democratic Party has gained renewed momentum following the withdrawal of President Joe Biden as a candidate in July, which came after a challenging debate performance against Trump.
Trump’s previous loss to Biden in 2020 was marked by his refusal to accept defeat, a stance that ignited claims of a “stolen” election and fueled widespread conspiracy theories among his supporters. This controversy reached a boiling point on January 6, 2021, when a mob of fervent Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol, motivated by his unfounded allegations to disrupt the certification of the election results.
In recent months, Trump has notably refrained from committing to recognizing the results of the upcoming election unconditionally, further intensifying the political landscape as the election date approaches.
