2028 Presidential Contenders: Who Will Democrats, Republicans Pick After Midterm Election Results?
Democrats elevated new contenders as Republicans reassessed their path after losses that could reshape the early 2028 presidential field, analysts said.
- Presidential prospects in both parties jockeyed for position on Wednesday, following a Democratic midterm wave that crashed over American politics. Democrats celebrated their stunning success, while dejected Republicans scrambled to distance themselves from President Donald Trump's political wreckage.
- Outgoing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis described the midterm blowout as 'close to an extinction-level event for Republicans in many parts of the country,' holding up his state as an exception where voters elected Republicans to the governor's office and U.S. Senate.
- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro won his swing state while flipping four congressional seats, and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker begins the 2028 cycle with more than $20 million in his campaign account. Both offered victory speeches leaving little doubt about their 2028 intentions.
- Vice President JD Vance entered Tuesday as the GOP's leading presidential prospect but woke up Wednesday far more vulnerable. Vance blamed the losses on the war, though he notably did not defend Trump's war against Iran in a morning post on X.
- With the first presidential primary votes in little more than a year, candidates are already having preliminary conversations with potential presidential campaign staff. Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed's victory in the Midwest seized progressives' attention as they discussed who might take the progressive mantle.
