Trump says, if he loses, 2024 run will be his last
President Donald Trump says that if he loses his bid to return to the White House in 2024 he thinks he won't try again in 2028
Former President Donald Trump said on Sunday that he doesn't “think” he'd run again for president in 2028 if he falls short in his bid to return to the White House in 2024.
“No, I don't. I think that will be, that will be it,” Trump said when journalist Sharyl Attkisson asked him if he'd run again.
The comment was notable both because Trump seemed to rule out a fourth bid for the White House and because he rarely admits the possibility he could legitimately lose an election. Trump normally insists that could only happen if there were widespread cheating, a false allegation he made in 2020 and he's preemptively made again during his 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump would be 82 in 2028, a year older than President Joe Biden is now. Biden bowed out of the race in July following his disastrous debate performance and months of being hammered by Trump and other conservatives as being too old and erratic for the job.
