Trump's 2028 Talk Draws GOP Pushback

President Trump has publicly mused about running again in 2028, saying "I would love to do it," as Trump-branded "2028" hats circulate and Steve Bannon has teased a plan to keep him politically dominant after a second term. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters there is no constitutional path for a third elected term, citing the 22nd Amendment and the lengthy, politically difficult amendment process. On a CNN panel, former Trump adviser David Urban acknowledged the legal barrier but warned Trump will likely remain an omnipresent force who could shadow or pressure a successor such as JD Vance via social media and public commentary. CNN commentator Van Jones reacted viscerally to Urban's effusive praise, saying on air he was "trying not to vomit" while the panel debated the implications of Trump's continued influence. Commentators across outlets stressed that amending the Constitution would be the only route to a third term and described that path as politically and procedurally arduous and unlikely.
