Trump Rules Out 2028 Run, Hints at Successor
Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has said he will not run for president again in 2028.
He thinks the next Republican candidate will be someone from his administration, like Vice President JD Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
Trump had earlier hinted at running again, but the law says he can't because he's already been president twice.
He even sold hats that said 'Trump 2028' but later admitted the law doesn't allow it.
Trump has been talking about who might take over his political movement, and he thinks Vance is the most likely person to do that.
Donald Trump has ruled himself out of the 2028 Republican nomination.
He suggested his successor will likely come from within his administration, possibly JD Vance or Marco Rubio.

The 22nd Amendment prohibits Trump from running for a third term.
Trump has publicly endorsed JD Vance as the most likely heir to his MAGA movement.
