Former U.S. President and current Republican candidate for the November elections, Donald Trump, said on Sunday in an interview that he rules out running again in the 2028 election if he is not elected this year.
"I don’t think so, that would be it. I don’t see it at all (...) But I think we're going to be successful this year," the businessman replied on the program Full Measure, hosted by journalist Sharyl Attkisson, when asked about this possibility.
Additionally, during the interview, Trump left the door open to the possibility of including tech entrepreneur Elon Musk or former independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his hypothetical cabinet as President of the United States.

In fact, the Republican candidate suggested that Kennedy Jr., who suspended his presidential candidacy and endorsed the former president last month, would be "excellent on health and environmental issues."
Furthermore, Trump acknowledged the "powerful" public support he is receiving from Musk and agreed that the billionaire could "help control government waste" because, in his view, "he is very good at cutting costs."
"He feels that these are the most important elections we've ever had. And, as you know, he probably has a couple more things to do. But it looks like he might be willing to get involved," Trump said.
Weeks ago, Trump confirmed that he would adopt Musk's plan for a government efficiency commission to cut federal spending and added that the X CEO had agreed to lead the commission "if he has the time."
