Trump to run for Vice President in 2028? The possibility is 'too cute', he says

President Donald Trump ruled out the idea of running as a vice presidential candidate in the 2028 election, as some of his supporters urge him to find ways to circumvent the Constitution’s prohibition on a president being elected to three terms.

“It’s too cute,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday, saying he was ruling out the possibility.

Some backers of the president have floated the idea of a different candidate running for the top job and naming Trump as their running mate, with the understanding that they would immediately resign the presidency and elevate him back into the Oval Office.


Trump himself has declined to rule out seeking another term as president despite the constitutional prohibition.

On Monday, Trump said Republicans would have a promising slate of candidates in 2028, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was also attending the gaggle with reporters, and Vice President JD Vance.
