Trump makes dramatic announcement about operating for president in 2028

Donald Trump revealed he likely will not run for president in 2028 if he loses the election to Vice President Kamala Harris. 

The 78-year-old former president told ‘Full Measure’ with Sharyl Attkisson in an interview that aired Sunday that he does not see himself running another campaign if he does not win the White House in November.

‘If you’re not successful this time, do you see yourself running again in four years?’ Attkisson asked Trump.

‘No, I don’t. I think… that will be it. I don’t see that at all. Hopefully, we’re gonna be successful,’ Trump said. 

The former president would be 82-years-old by the 2028 election. If he wins in 2024 he will be unable to run again as U.S presidents can only serve for two terms – 8 years.

The presidential race is expected to come down to just a handful of swing states

Harris and Trump are in the fight of their lives with the presidential race neck-and-neck ahead of Election Day on November 5.

While millions of voters will head to the polls on or before Election Day, the presidential race is expected to come down to just a handful of states that will decide the outcome. 

There are seven swing states that could go either way, but depending on which candidate picks up some of the biggest battleground states, the path to victory dramatically narrows.  

If Trump hopes to be the first president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms, his campaign must make a host of changes, a prominent political analyst has warned. 

Douglas E. Schoen – who has worked for both Bill Clinton and Mike Bloomberg – gave the prognosis in a Saturday opinion piece penned for the Daily Breeze, hours after appearing on Fox News to provide similar insight.

The Democratic strategist said he would still ‘bet on Trump’ despite the slight edge recently for Harris – a stance he reiterated in the op-ed, with a few caveats.

Above all else, he said, Trump needs to stay focused on the issues at hand, while working harder to link Harris to a languishing administration that just 39 percent of Americans approve of, according to recent polls from Gallup.

‘Further, doing so would force Harris to defend the Biden administration’s record in key areas,’ Schoen wrote – citing ‘inflation, a surging cost of living, and historic numbers of illegal migrant crossings’ specifically.

‘Given that more than six-in-10 (62 percent) of voters disapprove of Biden’s handling of immigration, and a similar 60 percent disapprove of the administration’s handling of the economy, forcing Harris to defend her record should be the top priority for the Trump campaign.’

The former president was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13

Trump has cheated death twice now after surviving another suspected assassination attempt just two months after he was shot in the ear.

Ryan Wesley Routh faces multiple felony gun charges after he was caught fleeing the scene where he made an attempt on the former president’s life.

The 58-year-old is accused of pointing an AK-47 at the Republican presidential nominee through a fence while he was playing a round of golf at the Trump International Golf Club.

The incident came as Trump’s security detail has been ramped up in the two months after the former president was shot in the ear during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13. 

Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on the former president with the AR-style rifle he got from his father.

The would-be assassin was spotted by witnesses before the shooting and Secret Service and law enforcement were warned of his presence.
