Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.

But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Rep. Summer Lee, a Pennsylvania Democrat, slammed the Trump administration's policies she said sows "fear" within the community. "We will not let them demonize this community," House Democratic Whip Katherine Clark said from the podium.

The Trump administration's taken action to try to restrict gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19, ban transgender people from military service and require the government to only recognize a person's sex assigned at birth on government-issued documents. Many of the moves have been challenged in court.

White House downplays Trump not ruling out possibly seeking a 3rd term

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also downplayed President Donald Trump not ruling out the possibility of running for a third term after he told NBC News on Sunday that he was "not joking" about it.

Asked about what methods the president was looking at to possibly run for a third time, Leavitt dismissed the question.

"The president talked about this last night on the plane. He said it's not really something we're thinking about. He has four years. There's a lot of work to do," she said.

Trump told NBC News on Sunday morning "there are methods which you could do it" regarding possibly seeking a third term. Later Sunday night, Trump avoided several questions about his comments as he spoke with reporters on Air Force One.

"I don't even want to talk about it, I'm just telling you I have had more people say, please run again," Trump said. "I said we have a long way to go before we even think about that."

White House offers little clarity on upcoming tariffs

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt offered little clarity on the pending tariffs set to go into place on Wednesday -- which it's dubbed as "Liberation Day."

Despite being pressed on the topic multiple times by reporters on Monday, Leavitt wouldn't get into any details on the announcement, from which countries would be targeted or what rate they'd face. She instead deferred to President Donald Trump, saying, "It's his announcement to make."

Asked by ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce if there's any way for countries to stave off the pending tariffs and if the president has decided the scale and scope of them, Leavitt said that now is "the time for reciprocity."

"Well, I think, first of all, unfortunately, these countries have been ripping off our country for far too long, and they've made, I think, their disdain for the American worker quite clear," she said before listing levies from other nations.

Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy, trade negotiations: Poll

A new Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll (AP-NORC) published on Monday found that a majority of Americans (58%) disapprove of how President Donald Trump has been handling the economy, while they are about evenly split on Trump's handling of immigration -- two top issues in the 2024 campaign.

Amidst the back-and-forths about tariffs, 60% of Americans said they disapprove of how Trump is "handling trade negotiations with other countries," and it is Trump's weakest issue in the poll among Republicans.

Overall, Trump's job approval rating is underwater: 56% of Americans disapprove while 42% approve.
