Donald Trump has declared that his 2024 presidential campaign will be the grand finale of his political career, promising not to run again in 2028 even if he loses to Vice President Kamala Harris. In a recent chat with Sharyl Attkisson on her show “Full Measure,” Trump was unequivocal, stating that he sees 2024 as his last stand in politics, revealing that if he’s defeated, he won’t be around for a rematch in four years.
The former president’s confidence as he heads into the 2024 election is likely fueled by memories of the 2020 contest against Joe Biden, a match-up that many had hoped would be more thrilling than browsing paint dry. While voters suffered through a lackluster debate that showcased Biden’s increasingly shaky grasp on reality, Trump remains focused on his current bid, casually brushing aside any concerns of a repeat of that encounter.
If Trump is not successful in Nov, he says he will NOT be running in 2028.
It’s now or never to save our country.

It’s interesting to note that this election cycle is shaping up quite differently than anticipated. Instead of a glorious Trump comeback narrative, it has morphed into a competition with Harris, who seems to be gaining traction in critical swing states—much to the chagrin of Trump supporters. Polls suggest that she’s not just trailing behind; in some scenarios, she’s actually leapfrogging ahead. If that doesn’t put a knot in the stomach of the MAGA crowd, what will?
Adding to the drama, Trump recently faced threats to his life, with rumors swirling of a second assassination attempt while he was out enjoying a leisurely round of golf in West Palm Beach. With the House investigating these alarming incidents—one of which occurred at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania—the stakes for this campaign have never been higher. The former president is no stranger to controversy, but this latest turn of events could make the already high-octane 2024 election even more heated.
Despite the challenges, Trump’s supporters remain steadfast, rallying behind their candidate. With his sights set on finally reclaiming the Oval Office, the upcoming election is shaping up to be a test not just of votes, but resilience in the face of adversity. Trump may have vowed to walk away from the political arena if things don’t pan out in his favor, but one cannot help but wonder: is that really how the story ends?
