The political strategist says the Constitution doesn’t count in this case.

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.

    He legally can’t run in 2028, but laws haven’t stopped him before.

    I expect him to try again, and I expect Democrats to glumly be like “okay, I guess, but just because you’re a Republican and we can never say no to you.”
