Polls suggest Trump and rival Kamala Harris are tied in key swing states where elections are typically decided.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he will not run for president again if he loses the November 5 election.
Asked if he saw himself running again in four years if he was defeated by Democratic rival Kamala Harris, the 78-year-old former president told the news show Full Measure: “No, I don’t think so. I think it will be like this, that’s all it will be. I don’t see it at all.”
The real estate mogul added that he hoped to be “successful” at the polls.
Polls suggest Trump and Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after incumbent Joe Biden, 81, dropped out in July, are tied in key states likely to be decisive in determining the winner.
Trump lost to Biden in 2020 but refused to accept defeat, claiming the election was “stolen” and fueling conspiracy theories.
On January 6, 2021, fervent Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the result.
The Republican, who was president from 2016 to 2020, faces criminal charges for his attempts to overturn the election results.
He denies any wrongdoing and believes the accusations are politically motivated.
He has repeatedly refused in recent months to commit to unconditionally recognising the outcome of the November election.
If he were to attempt a fourth campaign for the White House in 2028, Trump would be 82 years old.
