President Donald Trump has refused to rule out running for a third term, despite the U.S. Constitution clearly barring anyone from serving more than two terms as president.

Speaking aboard Air Force One on Monday, October 27, while en route to Tokyo, Trump was asked about recent comments from his ally Steve Bannon, who claimed last week that Trump would be president again in 2028. When asked if he would challenge the two-term limit in court, Trump responded, “I haven’t really thought about it. We have some very good people as you know, but I have the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.”

Pressed further on who he meant by “good people,” Trump mentioned Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, before adding, “I’m not sure if anybody would run again. I think if they have a form to grip it would be unstoppable, I do. I really believe that. I would love to do it. I have my best numbers ever.”

The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits anyone from being elected president more than twice. However, Trump appeared to entertain the possibility, suggesting that his leadership record warranted consideration. “I mean, I just solved eight wars and a ninth is coming. I believe Russia-Ukraine will happen,” he said. “I mean it’s millions of people we saved. I saved the lives of millions of people. That’s what’s important.”

When asked directly if he was ruling out a third term, Trump replied, “Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me.” He continued, “All I can tell you is that we have a great group of people, which they don’t,” seemingly referring to Democrats.

Last week, Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, told The Economist that Trump would “get a third term,” claiming there was already “a plan” to make it happen despite constitutional restrictions. When pressed on how that would be possible under the 22nd Amendment, Bannon said, “There’s many different alternatives. At the appropriate time, we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there is a plan, and Trump will be the president in ‘28.”

This isn’t the first time Trump has floated the idea. Shortly after winning the 2024 election, he told House Republicans, “I suspect I won’t be running again unless you say, ‘He’s so good, we got to figure something else out.’”

92-year-old President Paul Biya has been officially declared the winner of the 2025 Presidential Election in Cameroon, extending his more than four-decade rule for another seven years.

According to results announced on Monday by the Constitutional Council, Biya secured 53.66% of the votes, defeating his main challenger Issa Tchiroma, who garnered 35.19%. The election was held on October 12, but official results were only confirmed this week.

With this victory, Biya already the world’s oldest serving head of state, will continue to lead Cameroon until 2032, when he will be 99 years old, barring any constitutional or political changes.

Despite strong support for Tchiroma among Cameroonian diaspora voters, Biya’s dominance within the country proved decisive. Tchiroma received 62.79% of the vote in Europe, 66.75% in the Americas, and 68.21% in Asia and the Middle East. Across Africa, Tchiroma also led the diaspora vote with 54.99%, though more than half of eligible voters abroad reportedly abstained.

The Constitutional Council clarified that the overall winner is determined by total nationwide votes, not diaspora tallies.

Biya’s victory comes amid intensifying calls for political transition in Cameroon, where critics have long accused his ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) of suppressing opposition and manipulating elections. The government, however, insists that the poll was free, fair, and transparent.

Announcing the results, Clement Atangana, President of the Constitutional Council, declared:

“Hereby proclaimed President-elect: the candidate Biya Paul.”

Biya, who first assumed office in 1982, has maintained a tight grip on power for more than four decades. He abolished term limits in 2008, ensuring his ability to seek indefinite re-election.

His main opponent this year, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, a former government spokesperson and employment minister, broke ranks with Biya earlier in 2025 to lead a broad opposition coalition, drawing large crowds and notable endorsements.

Biya’s re-election cements his position as one of the longest-serving leaders in the world, continuing a legacy of political dominance that has defined Cameroon’s post-independence era.
