Trump says he won’t run for president again in 2028 if he loses in November

Donald Trump said in an interview released on Sunday that he did not think he would run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year's race for the White House.

In an interview on the Full Measure television show with Sharyl Attkisson, the former US president - who ran in 2016 and 2020 - was asked whether he saw himself running yet again in four years time.

"No, I don't," Trump answered. "I don't see that at all."

He said: "Hopefully, we're going to be successful."

In the polls, Kamala Harris leads Trump in most head-to-head surveys after Trump had previously established a solid lead over Joe Biden - before he scotched his re-election campaign after a disastrous debate performance. But the presidential race remains tight ahead of November's election, especially in the key battleground states that will hold the key to victory.

Attkisson asked Trump what positions he saw people such as the tech billionaire Elon Musk, the former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and the ex-independent presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr, holding in his administration. Trump said he had not made deals with anybody because "it's not appropriate to do it" and "it's too early".

Still, he laid out what Musk, Gabbard and Kennedy, who are all former Democrats or supporters of the party, could potentially work on if he were to be elected.
