Trump Rejects 2028 Vice-Presidential Workaround, Says He Would "Love" a Third Term

Overview

• Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Oct. 27, the president dismissed running as vice president in 2028 and labeled the resignation workaround a "trick" that is "not right."
• Trump said he would "love" another term but acknowledged the Constitution bars a third elected term and said he has not considered a legal push to change that.
• The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms, and any repeal would require an arduous constitutional process with supermajority support in Congress and the states.
• Allies continue to promote 'Trump 2028' messaging, with Steve Bannon touting a plan and red hats appearing both on the campaign’s store and in recent Washington photo-ops.
• Trump pointed to Republican succession options, praising Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a potential ticket he described as "unbeatable."
