Trump Rules Out Fourth Presidential Run If Defeated in November Election

Republican Donald Trump said that he will not make a fourth consecutive run for the U.S. presidency if he loses the Nov.5 election ,saying “that will be it” in an interview released on Sunday.

Asked if he saw himself running again in four years if he is not successful in his third consecutive bid for the White House, the 78 year old former president told Sharyl Attkisson’s “Full Measure” program: “No I don’t. I think that will be ,that will be it. I don’t see that at all. Hopefully, we will be successful.”

Trump faces a tight race against Democratic U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, with polls showing the two neck and neck in key battleground states that are likely to be decisive in determining the winner, even as Harris has begun to edge up the nationwide polls.

Trump launched his first reelection bid for the 2020 election the same day he was inaugurated in 2017 and announced his lastest White House Bid two years ago in November 2022.

Trump has continued to falsely blame his 2020 loss to Democratic President Joe Biden on widespread voter fraud and faces federal and state criminal charges over efforts to overturn the election results. He denies any wrongdoing and has cast his indictments as a political attack against him while embracing increasingly dystopian rhetoric if he were to lose in 2024.

Amid his campaign, Trump has launched various business ventures, including Trump Media ( DJT.O), NFTs and Trump branded sneakers,coins and crypto.

Meanwhile, Harris , 59,emphasizes the election’s importance for U.S. democracy while addressing pressing issues like family costs and housing.

When asked if his four-year break helped him reassess allies, Trump said it would have been easier if I did it…contiguous .”

“But the benefit is more than anything else, it shows how bad they were,” he added.

Speaking at his Florida resort, Trump told Attkisson that it’s “too early” to discuss potential cabinet positions if he wins in November.
