Trump rules out running for vice president in 2028

Investing.com -- U.S. President Donald Trump has ruled out the possibility of running for vice president in the 2028 election, dismissing an idea that some supporters have suggested as a way for him to remain in office beyond his current term.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday, Trump acknowledged that while such a move would be legally permissible, he would not consider it.

"I’d be allowed to do that," Trump said when asked about the possibility. He then firmly rejected the idea, adding: "I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s too cute. Yeah, I would rule that out because it’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that. It’s too cute. It wouldn’t be right."

Some of Trump’s supporters had floated the vice presidential run as a potential strategy to allow him to serve an additional term in office after his current presidency.
