Former President Donald Trump stated he does not plan to run for president again in 2028 if he is defeated in the upcoming 2024 election. In an interview with Sinclair Media Group, the 78-year-old Republican candidate said, “No, I don’t. I think… that will be it,” when asked if he could envision another run if he loses to Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris. Trump, who has reshaped the Republican Party over the past eight years, expressed hope for a successful 2024 campaign but ruled out further bids if unsuccessful.

While Trump has rarely acknowledged the possibility of losing the election in public, this marks the second time in recent days that he has hinted at the potential for defeat. At an event with the Israeli-American Council, Trump suggested that if he were to lose, Jewish voters would bear some responsibility, a comment that drew criticism from the Harris campaign and Jewish advocacy groups.

Trump’s remarks may reflect the shifting dynamics of the race, with national polls showing Harris leading in the run-up to the election. A recent CBS poll indicated Harris ahead 52% to 48% nationally, and she holds a slim lead in key battleground states. Despite this, Trump maintains a strong advantage on issues like the economy, immigration, and cost of living, which remain central to voters’ concerns.
