Trump’s Third-Term Ambitions Spark Political Speculation
California Governor Gavin Newsom has raised alarms about former President Donald Trump's potential bid for an unprecedented third term, despite constitutional barriers limiting presidents to two terms. Speaking at a Politico summit, Newsom questioned Trump's sincerity, citing his alleged display of 2028 campaign merchandise during WHITE House meetings with foreign leaders.
Trump currently holds a 3% chance of winning the 2028 election according to Polymarket predictions, tying with Vice President Kamala Harris. The prediction platform shows Vice President J.D. Vance leading potential contenders with 28% odds, followed by Newsom at 19% and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 9%.
While TRUMP recently stated he would "probably not" run in 2028, political observers note his continued influence in Republican circles and strong poll numbers. The remarks come amid heightened scrutiny of election integrity and constitutional norms in American politics.
