Former U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed his stance on running in the 2028 presidential election if he loses the 2024 race.
On Sunday, Trump stated he will not run for president in 2028 if he is defeated in the upcoming 2024 election. Speaking on the “Full Measure” program, the 78-year-old Republican candidate said, “No, I don’t see myself running. I don’t see it at all. I think that would be the end.”
Trump is set to face Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November 2024 election.
On Saturday, Trump rejected Harris’s proposal for a second debate before the November election. During a campaign rally in North Carolina, Trump said, “It’s too late for another debate. Voting has already started,” referencing early voting that began in three states on Friday, according to AFP.
Earlier that same day, Harris had expressed her desire for another debate with Trump, speaking to around 600 people at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre in Atlanta, Georgia. She stated, “I’m pushing for another debate. We’ll see.”
Harris’s campaign later confirmed that she accepted an invitation from CNN to participate in a debate on October 23. The first debate between the candidates took place on September 10. However, Trump later announced on his platform, Truth Social, that he would not participate in any further debates with Harris.
“There will be no third debate,” Trump declared, following his previous debates with President Joe Biden in June and Vice President Kamala Harris in September.
