Mike Johnson Shoots Down Trump 2028 Talk Amid MAGA Push: ‘It’s Been a Great Run, But…’

President Donald Trump won’t continue to occupy the White House past 2028 despite what MAGA says — just ask House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Johnson quashed a renewed push for a Trump third term, remarking, “It’s been a great run.”

He added: “I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes 10 years to do that.”

Read Johnson’s full remarks on the subject below:

Under President Trump, the Republican Party has delivered — I mean, you’re talking about reducing taxes, cutting fraud, waste, interviews, ending the border crisis, ending the crime crisis, resolving conflicts, wars around the globe, and working on these amazing trade agreements. It’s been a great run. But I think the president knows, and he and I have talked about the constrictions of the Constitution. As much as so many of the American people lament that, the Trump 2028 cap is one of the most popular that has ever been produced — and he has a good time with that — trolling the Democrats, whose hair is on a fire by the very prospect. But I do believe we have three extraordinary years ahead of us, and those years of the Trump administration will be an incredible thing. I don’t see a way to amend the Constitution, because it takes 10 years to do that, to allow all the states to ratify what two thirds of the house in 3/4 of the states would approve. So I do not see the path for that, but I can tell you, we will not take our foot off the gas pedal. We are going to deliver for the American people and we have four strong years.

Speculation about Trump’s third-term aspirations has been rampant for months, but received a new push last week when former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told The Economist that a plan “was in place.”

“He’s gonna be president in ’28,” Bannon proclaimed at one point.

Trump didn’t do much to quell the speculation when he was asked about the prospect of a 2028 run on Air Force One on Monday.

“Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me,” the president said. “All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people which [Democrats] don’t.
