The 2028 United States presidential election will be the 61st quadrennial presidential election, scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2028.[1] Voters will elect a president and vice president to a term of four years. This will be the first presidential election since 2012 in which Donald Trump will not be the Republican nominee for president because he is ineligible to seek a third term due to the term limits established by the Twenty-second Amendment. He is 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, Donald Trump launched a campaign for a second non-consecutive term, securing the Republican nomination and selecting Junior 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.

As the vice president-elect of the United States, Vance is considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president, although Florida governor Ron DeSantis (who also ran for the nomination in 2024) is seen as a potential contender. On the Democratic side, Vice President Harris, governors Gavin Newsom (California), Andy Beshear (Kentucky), Josh Shapiro (Pennsylvania), Wes Moore (Maryland), and Gretchen Whitmer (Michigan) are considered potential contenders for the presidential nomination.

This presidential election will take 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.
