Bondi on third Trump term: 'I think he’s going to be finished probably after this term'

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Sunday brushed off concerns that President Trump might seek a third term in the White House, saying she thinks the president will “be finished probably” in 2028.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” anchor Shannon Bream asked whether Bondi thinks there is a method by which Trump could run for a third term in office, as he has suggested recently, barring any constitutional amendment.

“President Trump has served one full term. He’s on his second full term. He’s a very smart man. And we – I wish we could have him for 20 years as our president," Bondi said.

“But I think he’s going to be finished probably after this term,” she added.

Bream pressed Bondi: “Probably?”

“Well, the Constitution would – we’d have to look at the Constitution,” Bondi said.

Trump has floated the idea of running for a third term several times since he was elected, even though the Constitution bars individuals from serving more than two presidential terms.

In a recent NBC News interview, Trump said he was “not joking” about running for a third term and suggested “there are methods” to run for a third term that people close to him were exploring.

Asked on Sunday whether the Trump administration has conceded that a Constitutional amendment would be the only way for Trump to seek a third term in office, Bondi repeated a sentiment expressed by Bream just moments earlier.

“It’d be a heavy lift. It’d be a heavy lift,” Bondi said.
