Trump Denies Plans for Third Term, Eyes Succession

Former President Donald Trump has denied intentions to seek a constitutionally prohibited third term, clarifying in multiple interviews that he is not considering running again after completing his second term. Trump acknowledged that many supporters have encouraged him to pursue another term, but emphasized that he believes four years is sufficient to make an impact and intends to pass leadership to another Republican. He mentioned Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors and expressed confidence in the party’s unity. Speculation about Trump’s future was fueled by the sale of 'Trump 2028' merchandise and his previous public musings, but he reaffirmed respect for the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit. Trump also addressed other topics, including immigration policy and the importance of upholding the Constitution, though he was less definitive on some legal questions. Overall, he reiterated that extending his presidency beyond two terms is not something he is pursuing.
