Presenter says a third presidential run would require a clear path to victory
The presenter said they would consider a 2028 presidential run only if they saw a viable path to victory. "You don't run the third time for the experience or the exercise," the presenter said, adding that a third run requires seeing "what I think is a path that could lead to victory."

The presenter described running the second time "on principle" to ensure there was a Republican voice critical of Donald Trump on the debate stage, and said they did not expect to win that earlier campaign. The interview did not include any formal campaign filings or announcements, and the presenter gave no firm timetable for a decision.
