Donald Trump
Republican candidate, Donald Trump has stated that if he loses in the November 5 election against Vice President Kamala Harris, he will not contest in 2028.
âNo, I donât. I think ⊠that will be it. I donât see that at all,â he told TV host Sharyl Attkisson on Sunday, September 22, when asked about vying for the White House for a third time..
âHopefully, weâre gonna be successful.â
Trump, 78, had been the Republican party standard bearer since 2016, and if he did hypothetically vie again in four years, heâd be older than President Biden, 81, who is the oldest president in US history.
âI was a very consequential president, and would certainly be, and maybe even more so this time,â Trump declared in the interview on Sinclair broadcastinâs âFull Measure.â
âI understand countries, I understand who rips us and who doesnât.â
Trump also suggested there was some benefit to being out of office after losing the 2020 election to Biden.
âIt would have been easier if I did it, you know, contiguous,â he mused.
âBut the benefit is more than anything else, it shows how bad they were. It shows how bad this radical left liberal crazy philosophy is.â
Earlier this month, Trump told podcaster Lex Friedman that he âlost by a whiskerâ in 2020, though he later claimed he was being sarcastic.
Trump also said that he feels safe and that the threats on his life will not change how he governs as president.
âI think that I will feel safe. I think Iâm going to feel safe,â he said.
âI canât be scared, because if youâre scared, you canât do your job. So I just canât be scared.â
