The 2028 United States presidential election was the 61st quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028.[1] The Democratic ticket of Kentucky governor Andy Beshear and Kansas governor Laura Kelly defeated the Republican ticket of incumbent vice president JD Vance and Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin. Republican president-elect Donald Trump, elected in 2016 and 2024, was ineligible to seek re-election for a third term due to the term limits established by the 1951-ratified Twenty-second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.[2] This was the first presidential election since 2012 that Trump was not the Republican nominee for president. He was the first president elected non-consecutively to be limited by the Twenty-second Amendment, as it did not yet exist when Grover Cleveland, the only president before him to have served two non-consecutive terms, was elected a second time in 1892.
After winning the 2016 and losing the 2020 U.S. presidential elections, Trump launched a campaign for a second non-consecutive term, securing the Republican nomination and selecting U.S. Senator JD Vance as his running mate. Trump went on to win the 2024 presidential election against incumbent Democratic vice president Kamala Harris and secure a second, non-consecutive term in office. His term is set to expire at noon on January 20, 2029, when the winners of the 2028 election will be inaugurated as the 48th president and the 51st vice president of the United States.
Vice president JD Vance was considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president, and secured the party's nomination with former governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin as his running mate. On the Democratic side, former governor of Kentucky Andy Beshear was nominated alongside former governor of Kansas Laura Kelly in a crowded primary.
This presidential election took place alongside elections to the U.S. Senate (34 seats), the U.S. House of Representatives (all 435 seats), and gubernatorial elections in 11 states and two territories, American Samoa and Puerto Rico.
