Trump rules out vice presidential run to stay in power after 2028

Donald Trump said on Monday (October 27, 2025) that he would not run for Vice President in the 2028 American election, a move some supporters suggest would allow him to skirt term limits and stay in the White House.

The U.S. Constitution limits presidents to two terms, and Mr. Trump began his second in January.

However, some of his advocates have suggested the Republican could skirt the rule by becoming Vice President and then stepping back into a vacated top job.

Asked whether he would run for Vice President in November 2028, Mr. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he "would be allowed to do that".
