US Edition'Not something I'm looking to do'; Trump takes U-turn on running for 3rd term, suggests who could succeed him
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump stated in an NBC interview that he is not seriously considering running for a third presidential term in the United States.
- Trump’s decision reflects the constitutional limit set by the 22nd Amendment, which forbids presidents from being elected more than twice, alongside low public and Republican support for a third term.
- In the interview, Trump commended Vice President J.D. Vance as an exceptional and talented individual and described Secretary of State Marco Rubio as excellent, mentioning both as potential Republican candidates for the presidency without indicating a clear favorite.
- He expressed that pursuing another term is not his intention, stating his goal is to serve a strong four-year term and then pass the leadership to a qualified Republican successor.
- Trump’s remarks suggest he will focus on completing his current term and aims to support a Republican successor amid internal party divisions and widespread opposition to a third term.
