It may sound like political fiction — Donald Trump and Barack Obama facing off in a presidential election — but a new poll shows Americans already have opinions about such a matchup.
Under the Constitution’s 22nd Amendment, presidents can only serve two terms, making this scenario impossible. Still, speculation thrives, especially with Trump occasionally hinting at a third term and Obama staying silent.
When asked in April how he’d feel about running against Obama in 2028, Trump responded enthusiastically: “I’d love that. That would be a good one.” He added, “No people are asking me to run… They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that.”
It wasn’t the first time Trump teased testing presidential limits. Earlier this year, he told NBC News that “a lot of people” wanted him to do it but said it was too early to think about. With a grin, he hinted there might be “methods” to make it possible.
