Former President Donald Trump, the current Republican candidate for the upcoming presidential elections in November, ruled out a candidacy in 2028 in case the results in the current contest are not favorable to him.
"No, I don't see myself (running again). I think that will be all. I can't envision it at all," declared the 78-year-old former president to journalist Sharyl Attkisson from the program Full Measure, where he added that "hopefully, we will be successful."
The electoral race to choose the successor of the current president Joe Biden has no guaranteed winner. For now, Trump and the Democratic candidate Kamala Harris are neck and neck in the key states, which could be decisive in this election on November 5.
According to the CNN network, in the same interview, Trump was asked about the possible names for his administration, in the event he is elected, particularly regarding specific positions for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Elon Musk.
The former president responded that "Bobby will do very well in health and environment," although he clarified that he did not make deals with anyone, "because it is not appropriate to do so."
"It's too early, but the moment is coming, isn't it?" Trump pointed out.
By 2028, Trump would be 82 years old, either for a possible candidacy or as an outgoing president, one year older than the current president Joe Biden.
Age, among other aspects, was a cause for concern that led Biden to withdraw from the race in July after a dismal performance in a televised debate with Trump.
On Saturday, the former president rejected a new presidential debate with Harris, organized by CNN. Trump noted that for the proposed date, October 23, "it's too late."
"The problem with another debate is that it's too late, the voting has already started," Trump said at a campaign rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.
