WASHINGTON —

Conversations about whether President Donald Trump could seek a third term have reignited this week.

It started with Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist and ally. He claimed there’s a "plan" for Trump to run again in 2028. Then, when reporters asked the president about the idea, Trump said he would "love to do it" but ultimately downplayed the thought. A couple of days later, Speaker Mike Johnson weighed in, saying he doesn’t "see the path" for Trump to seek a third term. That was followed by the president finishing off this week’s back-and-forth with the comment, "based on what I read, I guess I'm not allowed to run." Advertisement
