President Trump said on Monday that he hasn’t “really thought about” running for president again in 2028, and pushed for Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio to team up.
Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Monday that he’d “love to” run for a third term, but added, “I haven’t really thought about it,” POLITICO reported.
“We have JD [Vance] obviously — the vice president is great,” Trump said. “Marco [Rubio]’s great. I’m not sure if anybody would run against those two. I think if they formed a group it would be unstoppable.”
“I would love to do it — I have the best numbers ever!” Trump added. “Am I not ruling it out? You’ll have to tell me. All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they [the Democrats] don’t.”
He dismissed a plan that some supporters have suggested, in which he would run as vice president in 2028 and then take over the presidency when the winner stepped aside.
“I’d be allowed to do that,” Trump said. “But I wouldn’t do it. It’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that. It wouldn’t be right.”
