Trump Dismisses Idea of Seeking Third Term


(MENAFN) US President Donald Trump has dismissed the possibility of pursuing a third term in the 2028 presidential election, during a conversation aired on CBS News' 60 Minutes on Sunday.

"I don't even think about it. I will tell you, a lotta people want me to run," he stated when interviewer Norah O’Donnell asked if he had any plans to run for a third term.

When pressed about potential future candidates, including Vice President JD Vance and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Trump expressed his approval of both figures.

"I like so many people. We have an unbelievable bench. We could run two people together. We have a great bench. So I don't want to start talking about elections. It's too early," he remarked.

The 22nd Amendment to the US Constitution restricts any president from serving more than two terms in office.
