Trump makes bold prediction about 2028 GOP nominee

President Donald Trump revealed more Thursday about where he stands on the 2028 presidential election and whether he plans to endorse a Republican candidate.

Trump called in to Salem News Channel host Hugh Hewitt’s show and recalled a recent article that said the GOP nominee would be “whoever Trump chooses,” adding that he agreed.

Asked whether he would endorse a candidate before or during the primaries, the president said he didn’t know, saying, “It’s too early to say.”

Independent journalist Aaron Rupar shared video from the interview on social media.

Several commentators reacted to the interview, which came just over a week after Republicans suffered major losses in the midterm elections.

"The rats will be off the ship by then," Rodger Williams, a frequent progressive commentator, wrote on X.

"Good news for Democrats since polling from @Project270HQ of 2028 swing states shows voters - and particularly independent voters - are less likely to support a candidate endorsed by Trump," podcaster and strategist Doug Gordon wrote on X.

"That’s worked out well: Darlene [SIC] Graham, Ken Paxton, Jon Husted," Bluesky user and liberal commentator Linda Marie, who has nearly 10K followers, wrote.
