Steve Bannon, during a keynote speech at the New York Young Republican Club, suggested that Donald Trump could run for a third presidential term in 2028. Bannon referenced legal advice indicating that since Trump's previous two terms were not consecutive, he might be eligible to run again. He posed the question to the audience, 'Are you ready for Trump 28?' and received an enthusiastic response. Bannon emphasized that the Constitution does not explicitly state that presidential terms must be consecutive, echoing sentiments from Mike Davis, who supported the notion of a potential 2028 campaign. The crowd reacted positively to Bannon's proposal, indicating strong support for the idea of Trump returning to the presidential race.
