Sunak gracefully handed over the Prime Ministership to Starmer with zero hiccups.

You know what happened here? Trump tried to force Pence to not certify the election (VP certifies all the votes from the electors) and even appointed fake electors. And obviously the January 6th shenanighans.

And to top it off, his current VP pick JD Vance has publicly said that if he were in Pence's position, he wouldn't have certified the election results. So 2028 will be interesting if these guys lose.

Trump can’t run in 2028. This will be his second term.
I don't see why he'd let such a technicality stand in his way, when actually losing the vote last time around was not enough to persuade him that he couldn't be president anymore.
Most presidents want to be followed by someone from their own party, though Trump may be enough of a narcissist not to care.

Much less seriously, Trump can't run in 2024 either. See, since he won the election in 2020, he's already had his second term...
