It sounds like something out of political fan fiction — Donald Trump going up against Barack Obama in a presidential race.
But according to a brand-new poll, we now know how Americans say they would vote if the two ever faced off on the 2028 ballot.
“I’d love that…”
Of course, the Constitution’s 22nd Amendment makes such a matchup impossible. Presidents can only serve two terms, which rules both men out.
Still, with Trump openly floating the idea of a third term and Obama remaining quiet on the matter, the hypothetical showdown has captured plenty of attention.
In April, President Donald Trump was asked how he would feel about running against his predecessor in 2028. His response? Pure enthusiasm.
“I’d love that. That would be a good one. I’d like that,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
Pressed further, he added:
“No people are asking me to run, and there’s a whole story about running for a third term. I don’t know. I never looked into it. They do say there’s a way you can do it, but I don’t know about that, but I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job. We have four years… It’s still close to four years.”
