In a surprise move, former US President Donald Trump has left no doubt that he would be open to serving a third term in office. Despite the 22nd Amendment, which prohibits a president from running for more than two terms, Trump expressed his desire to run again in 2028, stating "I would love" to be on the ballot.
The comments came during a press conference on Air Force One, where reporters asked Trump if he had any plans to run for office again. Trump's response was met with skepticism by many, who pointed out that the 22nd Amendment explicitly prohibits him from running again. However, Trump brushed off their concerns, saying "you'll have to tell me" if he is ruling it out.
In addition to his potential presidential bid, Trump also expressed interest in serving as Vice President, citing names like JD Vance and Marco Rubio as potential running mates. When asked about the possibility of a vice presidential run, however, Trump quickly dismissed it, calling it "too cute." The 12th Amendment, which governs the eligibility of candidates for the office of Vice President, would prevent Trump from serving in that capacity.
Trump's comments on a possible third term have been circulating since his inauguration in January. While some have speculated about the possibility of him running again, others have expressed skepticism, with House Speaker Mike Johnson saying earlier this year that Trump was not serious about seeking another term.
