Former President Suggests 2024 Run Could Be His Last

Washington: In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump indicated that he may not seek another presidential bid in 2028 if he fails to secure a victory in 2024. During a conversation with journalist Sharyl Attkisson, Trump stated, “No, I don’t. I think that will be, that will be it.”

Trump’s Rare Admission of Potential Defeat

This comment stands out as Trump typically refrains from acknowledging the possibility of losing an election, often attributing any potential loss to widespread cheating—a claim he made in 2020 and has reiterated during his current campaign.

Should he run again, Trump would be 82 by 2028, which would make him a year older than President Joe Biden is currently. Biden faced significant criticism regarding his age and performance, leading to his decision to withdraw from the race earlier this year.

 

Health and Vaccine Controversy: A Defense of His Record

In the 22-minute interview on Attkisson’s show, Full Measure, Trump also addressed his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, claiming credit for the development of COVID-19 vaccines during his administration. He acknowledged growing skepticism among Republicans about vaccine safety, contrasting it with the trust that many Democrats still place in them.

When asked about maintaining good health, Trump humorously mentioned his eating habits, prompting a reaction from Attkisson, who noted his well-known affinity for hamburgers. “Proper hamburgers,” he clarified, in a light-hearted moment.

As the political landscape shifts ahead of the 2024 elections, Trump’s remarks could shape the narrative surrounding his future in politics and the Republican party’s direction.
