The US Constitution does not allow for a third term as US president, however Donald Trump did not rule out the possibility of running for it, without bypassing the Vice President.
Trump does not rule out the possibility of running for the White House for a third time, saying that "I haven't really thought about it. But I have the best polling numbers I've ever had."
Speaking to reporters during his trip to Asia, he commented on the idea of his supporters, in an attempt to overcome the constitutional hurdle, running for vice president in 2028, calling it "very cool" but "not fair."
"I think people wouldn't like that," he said.
In addition, Trump also suggested Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors, calling them "unstoppable."
"All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people that they don't have," he added, referring to Democrats.
It is not clear what method he will use to run again. The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution bars presidents from seeking a third term. Repealing the amendment would require approval by two-thirds of the House and Senate or a constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures, a process considered highly unlikely.
Last week, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who remains an ardent supporter of his, claimed he had a "plan" to secure a third term for Trump.
“Trump is going to be president in 2028 and people are going to have to accept that,” Bannon told the Economist. “At the right time, we will present what the plan is.”
In March, Trump told CNBC that he "probably wouldn't" run again, though he later said he was "not kidding" about the possibility.
It is not yet clear which Democrats intend to run for the White House in 2028, although several have already expressed interest.
On Sunday, California Governor Gavin Newsom told CBS he would be "lying" if he said he wasn't seriously considering a run for president.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris also told the BBC that she could run again and "possibly" become president in the future.
