In an interview with Sinclair Media Group, Trump, 78, was asked whether he would consider another run if he loses to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. “No, I don’t. I think… that will be it,” Trump responded. “I don’t see that at all.” However, he remained optimistic, adding, “Hopefully, we’re going to be very successful.”

Having run as the Republican candidate in three consecutive national elections, Trump has dramatically reshaped the party over the past eight years. If victorious in November, he would be constitutionally barred from seeking a third term.
Though Trump has often fired up his supporters with promises of victory, this is the second time in recent days that he has acknowledged the possibility of losing. During an event hosted by the Israeli-American Council, he suggested that if he were to lose, Jewish voters could be partly to blame. “At 40% [support], that means 60% of the people are voting for the enemy,” he said, remarks that drew swift condemnation from the Harris campaign, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anti-Defamation League.
Trump’s acknowledgment of a potential defeat comes as Harris’s prospects have improved. After becoming the Democratic nominee, her campaign raised over $190 million in August, surpassing the $130 million raised by Trump and affiliated groups.
Polling data shows Harris leading Trump nationally, with a CBS poll giving her a 52% to 48% advantage. In key battleground states, Harris holds a narrow 51% to 49% lead, slightly up from last month’s deadlocked numbers. An NBC poll also shows Harris with a five-point lead nationwide, with her favourability rating surging to 48%.
Despite these figures, Trump maintains an edge with voters on several major issues, including the economy, cost of living, and immigration. The Trump campaign has yet to comment on the latest polling data.
