It is unclear whether Donald Trump would even admit defeat. If so, the upcoming US presidential election will be his last as a candidate.
Former US President Donald Trump does not want to run again in the presidential election in 2028 if he is defeated in the November election. In this case, it would be unimaginable for him to run again, said the 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate in an interview with the television production “Full Measure” published on Sunday. “I think that’s it then.” But of course he hopes for “success” at the polls on November 5th. There were no further questions from the interviewer.
Donald Trump doesn’t want a second TV duel
The polls currently point to an extremely close race between Trump and the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris. The decision will most likely be made on November 5th in the so-called swing states – US states where the race is traditionally close.
Apparently in order to influence the mood there in her favor, Harris invited her competitor to another television duel at the weekend. This was rejected by Trump. Officially, the Republican argued that it was “simply too late” for another debate.
According to polls and the majority of political commentators, Harris won the first TV debate against Trump on September 10th. She put the Republican on the defensive with numerous targeted attacks.
It is unclear whether Trump will accept the result if the Democrat wins. After losing the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, incumbent Trump tried to turn his defeat into a victory. On January 6, 2021, Republican supporters violently stormed the Capitol in Washington to prevent the official certification of Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
To this day, Trump continues to spread unsubstantiated claims about electoral fraud and dodge questions about whether he will accept the results of this year’s presidential election. Observers fear that if he loses, he could once again sow doubts about the election outcome.
