During CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip hosted a discussion on election denialism related to former President Donald Trump's comments suggesting possibilities for running in 2028. The panelists, including Democratic strategist Karen Finney, reacted to Trump's language patterns and lack of respect toward constitutional rules, particularly the 22nd Amendment. Despite the clear limitations on presidential terms, representatives from Trump's camp, including Steve Bannon and Ashley Hayek, continue to assert alternative interpretations, prompting concerns and rebukes from the panel, emphasizing the importance of constitutional adherence.
"I'm of the school of thought that when they say it and then they say it over and over again, you cannot just say, Oh well, it doesn't matter.'"
"The Constitution is very clear about this. Trump's actions against birthright citizenship show he has no respect for it."
"He would be elected four times [in 2028], but only serving [a] third since the 2021 [election] was stolen."
"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice."
