WASHINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump said in his clearest terms yet that he won't be the 2028 Republican presidential nominee, predicting his GOP successor will be someone else in his administration.
Trump remarked on the next presidential race during a marathon Cabinet meeting as he argued Republicans will be in better position than Democrats in 2028 because of the latter's "really bad policy."
"It’s not going to be me," Trump said. "It’s going to be somebody that’s probably sitting at this table. It could be a couple of people sitting at this table – could be a couple of people running together sitting at this table."
Others seated at the Cabinet table included Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‒ both considered strong candidates to run to succeed Trump as the GOP nominee.
