You run, or at least the RNC listens to you very closely. 2028 \u2013  PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: They&#8217;d better! They&#8217;d better listen.  HH: Do you think there ought to be one, yeah, do you think there ought to be one, many, or a lot of debates? And would you moderate one or more of those debates?  DJT: That&#8217;s interesting. I&#8217;d sort of like to do that. Nobody gave me that one. You always have a unique way. I&#8217;d love to do it. I&#8217;m sure the Democrats would be thrilled. But I would certainly moderate, you&#8217;re talking about a debate between a Republican and a Democrat?  HH: Oh, yeah, because the numbers would go through the ceiling. We&#8217;d get 100 million people.  DJT: Yeah, yeah.  HH: And you&#8217;d ask them about Iran.  DJT: Yeah, I get good numbers. No, I like the idea about, I would absolutely do it. Now find a Democrat that&#8217;s going to do it. I always complain when that loser from ABC did the debate, and he was so biased, and I was basically, it was him and an unknown woman who was a radical left person, and I said wait a minute, this is two-and-a-half against one. They said who&#8217;s the half, and I said Kamala is the half. I got two people plus a half against me. No, I would love to do something like that. I can&#8217;t imagine they&#8217;d do it, but if they would do it, I would do it.  HH: Oh, you&#8217;d get the Vice-President, Marco Rubio, you&#8217;d get Senator Cruz. You&#8217;d be a great moderator. I really urge you to do that.  DJT: Okay, I will do it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolitics.com\/video\/2026\/07\/13\/trump_id_love_to_moderate_a_2028_debate.html\">RealClearPolitics Videos<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump said he would be interested in moderating a 2028 presidential debate in an interview with Hugh Hewitt. &#8220;I get good numbers.
