# Trump says he would 'love' to run in 2028 but faces term limits

*The former president discussed his desire for a third term with interviewer Miranda Devine.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 48 of 100, higher is better. The central claim is attributed to a named individual, but key facts are hedged with 'reportedly' and no polling organisation is named.
- Craft 65 of 100, higher is better. The article separates fact from comment, provides specific details, and discusses what might happen next.
- Hype 65 of 100, lower is better. The headline promises a direct admission of running again, but the article clarifies constitutional barriers and interviewer interpretation.

Scored by MediaBias News; method at https://mediabias.news/methodology.

**The short version**

- Donald Trump said he would 'love' to run for president in 2028, but acknowledged the constitutional limit of two elected terms.
- The remarks were made to interviewer Miranda Devine for her Pod Force One podcast.
- Trump claimed an unspecified poll showed him beating all other candidates by a substantial margin.
- In March 2025, Trump had previously told Kristen Welker he was 'not joking' about another term and mentioned 'methods' to achieve it.

Donald Trump stated he would 'love' to run for president again in 2028, while acknowledging the constitutional restriction preventing him from being elected a third time. The 22nd Amendment limits a person to two elected terms. Trump made these remarks to interviewer Miranda Devine for her Pod Force One podcast.

Trump also claimed a poll showed him beating everyone by a substantial margin. The reports did not identify any polling organisation, survey dates, sample size, or candidates included in this poll. In March 2025, Trump told interviewer Kristen Welker he was 'not joking' about another term and mentioned 'methods' for achieving it, including a hypothetical scenario where Vice-President JD Vance could run and then resign to allow Trump to assume the presidency. Experts interviewed by FactCheck.org described this succession loophole as implausible.

## Disagreement on Trump's acceptance of term limits

IBTimes UK reported that interviewer Miranda Devine said Trump appeared nostalgic about his rallies and had 'come to terms with the fact that he won't be running again', distinguishing his wish from a campaign announcement. Devine discussed this exchange on Sunday television ahead of the podcast episode's scheduled release on Monday, 2 November.

## What the coverage left out

None of the left-rated reports mention the constitutional implications of the 12th Amendment, which bars anyone constitutionally ineligible for the presidency from serving as vice-president, as detailed in the full report. The full report also discussed potential Democratic gains in elections and Trump's 'Mr Veto' strategy, neither of which were mentioned in the digests.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 17 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 29% (5)
- Centre: 6% (1)
- Right: 65% (11)

20 of 37 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-11-02T23:26:02.738Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- The left-rated report from IBTimes UK led with Trump's statement that he would 'love' to run again in 2028, immediately followed by his acknowledgement of the constitutional restriction preventing a third term. The report detailed Trump's remarks to Miranda Devine for her Pod Force One podcast, including his claim about a poll showing him beating everyone by a substantial margin, though it noted no polling details were provided. It also referenced Trump's earlier comments to Kristen Welker in March 2025 about 'methods' for achieving another term and the constitutional limitations imposed by the 22nd Amendment. The report included comments from individuals questioning the constitutional implications and polling claims.

### Centre

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
