Former President Donald Trump has indicated that he will not run for the Oval Office in 2028 if he fails to secure the presidency in the upcoming November elections. This admission comes amid ongoing speculation about his political future and as he faces a heated contest against Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former President Donald Trump has definitively stated that he will not seek the presidency again in 2028 if he fails to win in the upcoming November elections. This declaration came during an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group's "Full Measure," hosted by Sharyl Attkisson, which aired on Sunday morning.
When Attkisson asked Trump if he could envision himself running for president again in four years if he were unsuccessful in his current campaign, he responded unequivocally, "No, I don’t. No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all."

This revelation is significant as it marks the first time Trump has publicly ruled out a future presidential bid. The former president is currently on his third run for the presidency, having defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 and lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
With over six weeks remaining until Election Day on November 5, the race between Trump and Harris is considered a toss-up in key battleground states. Public opinion polls indicate that the margin of error is narrow in these crucial states that will ultimately determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.

Trump's withdrawal from the 2028 race, if he loses in November, would end years of speculation about his political ambitions beyond his current term. The former president has repeatedly hinted at a possible return to the political arena, but his latest comments suggest that he may be reconsidering.
In the interview with Attkisson, Trump discussed various topics, including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which he claimed he managed "an amazing job." He also spoke about his accomplishments in the military, such as boosting its strength and neutralizing ISIS.

Trump's comments on his dietary habits also drew attention. When Attkisson mentioned that she assumed he consumed unhealthy foods like hamburgers and soda, Trump acknowledged his fondness for such items but emphasized that he consumed them appropriately.
Trump's decision to rule out a 2028 run, if unsuccessful in November, is a major development in the ongoing political landscape. It remains to be seen if the former president will fully abandon his political aspirations or if he may still entertain the possibility of a future comeback.
