Donald Trump has ruled out running for the White House in 2028 if he loses the election in November.
Asked whether he would run again if he loses on Nov 5, the Republican nominee told US outlet Full Measure: “No, I don’t. I think that that will be, that will be it. I don’t see that at all.”
The poll found Ms Harris had 49 per cent of the vote among registered voters, compared to 44 per cent for Trump.
It is a significant shift from the outlet’s July poll which put [Trump](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/donald-trump/) as two points ahead of the then Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Trump previously came under fire for telling a Christian summit they would never need to vote again if he returns to the White House next year.
anyone else getting the feeling that he is going to try to flee the country before the election ?
He’s lying.
Yeah, he’ll just claim it’s stolen, so he can run again
If anyone believes anything – but specially about the election result – coming out Trump’s mouth, I got some oceanfront property you can buy real cheap in Kansas. But then if he loses this election, there is a decent chance he will be sitting in a 10×20 cell in some state or federal prison come 2028.
Good, perhaps he can shut up after November and do us all a favour
Ha ha. He said in 2020 that we’d “never see him again” if he lost in 2020 …which he himself finally admitted to recently … and that was a lie. So is this.
Hard to run from a jail cell. Not impossible, but difficult.
If he looses, he ends up in prison or somewhere where he can’t be extradited to the US. So in that sense he’s right, but let’s say he flees out the country, he will be yelling and screaming for an insurrection so that he can return.
I don’t give two shits as long as the people vote him and MAGA crowd to hell.
i hope he is locked for good after he loses and we can be done with him finally.
I’ll give him twenty bucks if he gets in a plane the week before the election and leaves.
That’s what he said about 2020, and the fucker is still here.
He lies about everything.
Sounds like another great reason to vote against him this time
Does that mean he’ll just not recognise the losing the election
Didn’t he say something similar before the 2020 election?
A traitor shouldn’t be allowed to run at any time.
So that means 2028 is definitely on the table if he wins this election.
A promise is of comfort to a fool. Trump is not going to leave all that money behind.
*Sure, Jan*.
I’d figure if he doesn’t win he’s headed somewhere with no extradition treaties. At this point the only way he doesn’t spend the rest of his life in courtrooms is if he runs away.
Everything he says is a lie.
Good riddance to bad blubber.
He’s going to run until he is dead.
I’ll believe that when me sh*t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet
He’s never made good on a promise
all he’ll will break loose if the Democrats win..we can only pray and hope they don’t but the evil powers of Russia and China will do their best
The Longer the GOP holds on to MAGA the more likely the Republican Party will divide and split apart. They were fools running him a third time. If a 4th? Who knows what will happen
He’ll probably be in a mental asylum. The minute his brood can figure out how to get him declared incompetent he is toast. Goblins gonna goblin after all.
Wait, you mean if he gets cheated out of the election again.
What’s good for the Dems, if Harris wins, is that Trump will absolutely not bow out and most likely ‘poison the well’ for the gop in 2028.
Who cares about what he says? He has troubles remembering what he said himself. Even he doesn’t care what he said in the past.
When asked during an interview to justify a prior position, he quite literally said he could have said that or not, and doesn’t remember why.
If HE doesn’t care, why should WE?
Everyone saying he’s lying doesn’t know Trump for real. He’ll arrogantly boast how he actually won the elections, so he won’t be *lying* in 2028.
/s because trump knows he lost and he’s lying because… he’s Trump.
Elon will… we go from maga cult to muskrats…
Can someone who knows more about civics than me answer this question: **Can Trump run for house, senate, or governor in Florida if he loses the presidential election in November?** Is there any precedent of this?

It comes as a recent NBC News poll put his Democratic opponent [Kamala Harris](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/kamala-harris/) as five points ahead of [Trump](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/donald-trump/).
