2028 Presidential election candidates: Full list of Republican hopefuls eyeing the White House
UNITED STATES, AUG 4 – Republicans face internal challenges and strong Trump influence as they prepare for the 2028 primary, with a diverse candidate field and record-low Democratic favorability, pollsters say.
- Republican hopefuls including Marco Rubio, J.D. Vance, Ron DeSantis, and Glenn Youngkin are positioning themselves for the 2028 presidential race across early primary states.
- They are preparing as Donald Trump, constitutionally barred from running again, maintains a strong base while not endorsing a clear successor, creating uncertainty.
- Rubio, a former presidential candidate with enduring recognition, and Vance, a relative newcomer seen as Trump's political heir, both face challenges securing full party support.
- Trump said in February 2025 that Vance is capable but will not be the next president, while strategists expect a large, ideologically diverse field including centrists and progressives.
- This early jockeying suggests a competitive and unpredictable GOP nomination process shaped by loyalty to Trump and debates on foreign policy and the economy.
