House Speaker Mike Johnson said he spoke with President Donald Trump about his apparent interest in running for a third term, saying he does not “see a path” for Trump in 2028.
“It’s been a great run, but I think the president knows — and he and I’ve talked about the constrictions of the Constitution, as much as so many of the American people lament that,” Johnson said in a press conference Tuesday. “I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes about 10 years to do that, as you know, to allow all the states to ratify.”
Trump has repeatedly floated his interest in running for a third term, a Constitution-violating idea for which the president actively sells merchandise.
