CNN: Who’s most likely to run in 2028 and how they’re faring after the midterms
Democrats and Republicans are already positioning for a 2028 race that could feature dozens of contenders and an internal fight over each party’s direction.
- On Wednesday, November 4, Democrats secured control of both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, marking a significant electoral setback for President Donald Trump's second presidency.

- Both parties face a potentially bitter internal conflict as strategists warn that failure to deliver on economic promises could leave voters disillusioned by 2028, intensifying the race for the White House.
