Trump says he will not run again if he loses election
Former President Donald Trump says he won’t run again in 2028 if he loses the November presidential election.
Trump, 78, has raced for the Republican Party in three successive presidential elections and reshaped the party over the past eight years.
When questioned by Sinclair Media Group, he was asked if he would run for reelection if Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential candidate, defeated him. Yes, I do not. Trump said, “I believe… that will be the end of iat.” “I don’t see that at all.”
He added, “I have high hopes that we will achieve a great deal of success.”
Even if elected, Trump is unlikely to run for president again in 2028 since US law prevents presidents from serving more than two terms.
In the past, the real estate billionaire hardly considered losing an election. Instead, he has inspired fans with speeches and social media posts promising election victory.
However, this is his second mention of losing in four days.
At a Thursday Israeli-American Council luncheon, he mentioned losing and implied that Jewish voters will contribute to it.
He asked, “Do they know what the hell is happening if I don’t win this election?” according to multiple media sources. “And the Jewish people would have to do a lot with that if that happens because at 40% [support] that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy.”
Nonpartisan organizations like the Harris campaign, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anti-Defamation League have condemned the comments.
Since Harris became the Democratic Party’s nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew, Trump’s admissions of a possible loss may reflect the Democratic Party’s changing prospects.
Her campaign raised about $190 million (£142 million) in August, compared to the Trump campaign and connected groups’ $130 million.
The BBC tracks national polling averages and she leads Trump. According to a Sunday CBS poll, she leads Trump nationally by 52% to 48%.
Harris has a 51% to 49% edge in key battleground states that may decide the election. Harris had even 50% in a similar CBS survey a month ago.

Harris leads Trump nationwide by five percentage points, according to a Sunday NBC survey.
Also, 48% of registered voters now like her, up from 32% in July. Since then-President George W. Bush’s favorability surged after 9/11, this is the largest increase.
Similar to past polls, the NBC poll showed that Trump had a big edge with respondents on several key election themes. Immigration, cost of living, and economy were concerns.
