Summary

Steve Bannon has suggested Donald Trump could run for president again in 2028, arguing the 22nd Amendment’s two-term limit might not apply since Trump’s terms weren’t consecutive.

Speaking at the New York Young Republican Club, Bannon dismissed legal barriers, echoing claims that Trump’s 2020 loss was illegitimate.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, explicitly prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice, making such a scenario highly improbable without a constitutional amendment.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney predicted Trump’s Vice President-elect JD Vance will likely be the GOP’s 2028 nominee.

    everyone’s just assuming that voting will be a thing at any point in the future

    we’ll go to war and he’ll just declare a perpetual “emergency” and suspend whatever he needs to in order to crown himself supreme leader for life. at least it’ll be entertaining to watch all his sycophant cultists tear each other’s throats out trying to be named his successor when he finally fucking croaks
