Former President Donald Trump is planning on the 2024 election being his political finale, and says he will not return as a presidential candidate in 2028 if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris this November.
In a sit-down interview with host Sharyl Attkission’s Full Measure television program, Trump said “no” when asked if he sees himself running again in the 2028 presidential election.
“No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all,” Trump said.
“Hopefully, we’re going to be successful,” he added.
Trump’s 2024 run comes off of his loss to President Joe Biden in 2020, an outcome the former president has blamed on debunked accusations of widespread voter fraud in battleground states like Arizona.
The election between Biden and Trump was expected to be a 2020 rematch that most voters did not want. However, after a lackluster debate between the incumbent and the former president that put Biden’s declining faculties on full display and subsequent calls for him to withdraw, Biden stepped aside as the party’s nominee in July.

Biden quickly endorsed Harris, and polls show that the vice president is narrowing or even surpassing Trump’s lead in critical states that could decide the 2024 election.
Trump’s interview on Full Measure comes after an alleged second assassination attempt on the former president while he was golfing in West Palm Beach. This attempt, along with the shooting at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, is being investigated by the House.
