Epäilen, että Tom pyrkii presidentiksi.

English Translation

I doubt that Tom will run for president.

If I hadn’t seen the English, I would have thought it was about somebody suspecting that Tom has presidential ambitions.

That suspicion of mine is confirmed by Wiktionary:

The meaning “to suspect” is more common with subordinate clauses using että that have the verb in indicative mood
