U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed that he will leave office at the end of his presidential term, despite enjoying broad support among voters.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump stated that he would step down, adding, “Yes, I will leave. I would have gladly run for re-election if given the opportunity,” but noted that the law is very strict.
He continued, “I would have gladly run for re-election. A recent poll showed me leading all other candidates by a wide margin.”
He pointed out that he has two more years in the Oval Office and said that much can be accomplished during this period.
Trump previously served as President of the United States from 2017 to 2021. In November 2024, he won the presidential election again and assumed office on January 20, 2025, becoming the 47th president of the country.
Under the 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, no person may be elected president more than twice.
The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled to take place in 2028. Trump had previously hinted at the possibility of running for a third term, stating that “there are ways” that would allow him to do so.
