As the US elections are getting closer, former President Donald Trump is falling behind in the race. In the presidential debate held in Philadelphia, Vice President Kamala Harris was seen dominating Trump. Trump had to struggle a lot in putting forth his point in the debate. The surveys coming after the debate have also shown Trump lagging behind. After which, for the first time on Monday, Trump was seen accepting the possibility of his defeat.

In a recent interview, Trump said that if he loses the 2024 presidential election, he will not contest again in 2028. This is the first time Trump has talked about his future in electoral politics. Let us tell you, as long as President Joe Biden was in the fray from the Democratic Party, Trump had made several attacks on his age. In the presidential election to be held in 2028, Trump will be 82 years old, which is one year more than Joe Biden's current age. During this interview, Trump was seen getting emotional, which is completely different from his old nature.

When anchor Shari Attkisson asked him about the possibility of contesting the next election, Trump said, "No, I will not. I think this will be my last election." This answer of Trump is also considered important because Trump has been claiming his victory throughout the election and he has never accepted the possibility of defeat. He always says that he can lose only if there is fraud in the election.

Trump did not even accept his 2020 defeat and said that the results were fraudulent and now in 2024 also he was seen repeating the same stance.

Trump is playing the emotional card!

From Trump's comments it seems that he has gauged the mood of the American people, he has started feeling that Kamala Harris is getting ahead in the presidential race. He has started feeling that his right-wing views and statements are not affecting the American people. That is why Trump is now playing his last bet. In which he is expecting support from the people by making them emotional.

Trump has also realized that the age card he played is becoming an issue for him, especially when he is facing a young candidate like Kamala Harris. This issue can take a bigger form in the 2028 elections, so Trump is playing the emotional card.

Politicians in India have been playing emotional cards!

It is not a new thing in Indian politics to get votes by making people emotional. Kejriwal, who recently came out of jail, after completing more than 4 years of his 5 term as Chief Minister, resigned in a very emotional manner and said, "The upcoming Delhi Assembly election is my litmus test. If you feel that we have worked and Kejriwal is honest, then only vote for me." Kejriwal told the people of Delhi that the decision of my honesty will be in the court of the people.

In the Lok Sabha elections, Congress leader Digvijay Singh had said that this is my last election, I am 77 years old now. Despite this, he had to face defeat from Rajgarh seat of Madhya Pradesh and the public again expressed trust in BJP candidate Rodmal Nagar.
