2028 presidential election — Trump is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term

The 2028 presidential election takes place on November 7, 2028. Donald Trump is constitutionally ineligible to run — the 22nd Amendment bars anyone from being elected president more than twice, regardless of whether the terms are consecutive. The Republican primary field will be fully open for the first time since 2016 without an incumbent. Potential Republican candidates include JD Vance (who would be completing his first term as Vice President), Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy, and others. The Democratic field will depend heavily on whether the party nominates a challenger in 2028 or rallies behind an establishment figure. All 435 House seats and 33 Senate seats are also on the ballot.
