Donald Trump said in an interview published Sunday that he doesn’t think he’ll run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year’s race for the White House.
A Interview On the Full Measure TV show with former US President Cheryl Atkinson, who ran in 2016 and 2020, she was asked if she saw herself running again in four years.
“No, I’m not,” Trump replied. “I never saw it.”
He said: “Hopefully, we’re going to win.”
In the polls, Kamala Harris leads Trump, after Trump previously established a solid lead over Joe Biden – before launching his re-election campaign after a disastrous debate. But the presidential race is tight ahead of the November election, especially in key battleground states that hold the key to victory.
Attkisson asked Trump what positions tech billionaire Elon Musk, former Democratic congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. hold in his administration. Trump has not made deals with anyone because “it’s not appropriate to do that” and “it’s too early,” he said.
However, he explained what Musk, Gabbard and Kennedy, former Democrats or supporters of the party, could do if elected.
“Bobby will do well in health and the environment,” he said. “They look at other countries where they don’t use chemicals, where they use far less than we do, and people are healthier than they are in America, which is not a healthy country.”
Kennedy has been campaigning for Trump since ending his own independent presidential bid to endorse the Republican nominee.
Trump described Gabbard, a military veteran who served as a Democratic congressman from Hawaii before retiring, as “a common sense person.” He recently said he would be “honored to serve” under a second Trump administration. Gabbard ran for president as a Democrat in 2020, but chose to support the Republican nominee in this year’s election.
During a Fox News interview, Gabbard said she was aiming for a role working on foreign policy.
“I’ve known her a little bit and it was a great honor when we had her,” Trump said in an interview Sunday.
Last month, Gabbard and Kennedy were both named to Trump’s transition team, which will help Trump choose policies and personnel if he wins the White House in November.
Trump has praised Musk as someone who can drive cost-cutting policies in the federal government, an idea he has raised with the “Government Performance Commission.”
“Elon Elon,” he said. “He’s a big cost-cutter. He’s always good at it, and I’m good at it. But Elon, I tell you what, he’ll go in and he’ll say: ‘This is what you’ve got to do. You’ve got to do this.’ He is very passionate about it, he feels there is a lot of waste and fat in this country and he is right.
