Donald Trump has publicly stated he cannot run in 2028 — as the sitting President during his second term (2025-2029), constitutional limits prevent him from seeking another term. Nevertheless, prediction markets remain active with substantial wagering on his political trajectory: impeachment proceedings, approval ratings, legislative accomplishments, and identifying his Republican successor.
