Trump announces 100% chip tariff as Apple ups U.S. investment
Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump defended his support for a Republican-backed plan to redraw Texas congressional districts before the 2026 midterm elections.
In a Tuesday interview with CNBC, Trump cited his electoral success in Texas as justification for the redistricting effort.
"We have a really good governor and we have good people in Texas and I won Texas," Trump said. "I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know, and we are entitled to five more seats."
When asked about his future political plans and whether he would run for office again, Trump initially responded "probably not" before later indicating he would like to run. According to the 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, presidents are limited to serving two four-year terms, whether consecutive or not.
