Summary

Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.

Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.

    I’d be more worried about this scenario if Trump was a healthy 60 year old man but he’s certainly not that. I’ll be surprised if he makes it through this term coherent enough to maintain power.

      Bro is on that ozempic and Sudafed high, he might actually make it way further than we hope, unfortunately.

        Sure, no one can say how long it is but he’s near the end of his rope whether he likes it or not

      Implying that he is coherent now.
