Trump Admits A Third Term Isn’t Possible


President Trump acknowledged Wednesday that he cannot run for a third term, after declining to rule out the possibility just days before. We discussed his potential moves and their legality in Monday’s newsletter.

  • “I have my highest poll numbers that I’ve ever had, and, you know, based on what I read, I guess I’m not allowed to run. So, we’ll see what happens,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I would say that if you read (the constitution), it’s pretty clear. I’m not allowed to run. It’s too bad, but we have a lot of great people (who can run).”

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) the day before dismissed the idea that Trump could seek another term. The 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected to the presidency more than twice.
