Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon is reportedly gearing up for a 2028 presidential run, Daily Mail reported. But Bannon refuted the reports and gave only a two-word answer. Bannon is seeking political advice for a potential run, and it also claimed that he had privately disparaged Vice President JD Vance, who has been considered the top contender to run for the presidency on the GOP’s ticket in 2028, as per reports.According to Daily Mail, citing a source within Bannon’s circle, he expressed doubts about Vance’s resilience for a 2028 campaign.In response to Daily Mail’s report, the former Trump chief strategist provided a concise reply: “Trump 2028,” Fox News reported.President Trump recently endorsed JD Vance as his likely successor, suggesting a potential ticket with state secretary Marco Rubio, while acknowledging the premature nature of such discussions. Rubio expressed support for Vance during an interview with Lara Trump, stating, “I think JD Vance would be a great nominee if he decides he wants to do that”.The National Pulse criticised the Daily Mail’s article as poorly sourced, suggesting it aimed to create discord within Republican ranks.In March, Bannon told Politico he solely supports President Trump and the America First agenda, dismissing presidential ambitions as “absurd”. However, in April, he discussed with News Nation possible ways to circumvent presidential term limits.Following Trump’s 2025 inauguration, Representative Andy Ogles introduced a constitutional amendment for a potential third presidential term. The proposal remains under consideration by the House Judiciary Committee.The Trump Store currently offers “TRUMP 2028” merchandise, including a £50 hat, fuelling speculation about a possible third term campaign.
