Trump Dismisses 2028 Bid, Cites 22nd Amendment

Donald Trump moved to shut down speculation about a 2028 run, telling reporters en route to South Korea that the 22nd Amendment makes another bid off-limits despite his “best polling numbers for any president in many years.” Earlier, he had left the door open but rejected a vice-presidential workaround as “too cute” and “wouldn’t be right.” House Speaker Mike Johnson said he doesn’t see a path to amending the Constitution, noting it can take about a decade. The 22nd bars third terms, while the 12th complicates any VP route, despite theories circulating in Trump’s orbit.
