Top 10 Best Candidates for the 2028 U.S. Presidential Election

Gavin Newsom

Gavin Christopher Newsom (born October 10, 1967) is an American politician and businessman. He has been serving as the 40th governor of California since 2019 as a member of the Democratic Party.

Happier than anybody that Harris lost, because that means he is now the big dog in the Democratic Party.

He is brilliant, articulate, and no-nonsense. I love him.

Vivek Ramaswamy

Really smart guy.

Excellent choice.

Josh Shapiro

I think he has the potential to win the presidency without alienating Independents and could help unite the country without relying on divisive tactics or imposing his views. Josh Shapiro and Jared Polis would make excellent candidates to face each other in the Democratic primary.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, born October 13, 1989 and also known by her initials AOC, is an American activist and politician. She has served as the U.S. representative for New York's 14th congressional district since 2019. She is a member of the Democratic Party and has become one of the most prominent... read more

She is brilliant and inspirational.

Pete Buttigieg

Prior to that, DeSantis represented Florida's 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2018, and... read more

He is the man for president in 2028.

He's outstanding.

JB Pritzker

Andrew Yang

Gretchen Whitmer

Gretchen Esther Whitmer (born August 23, 1971) is an American lawyer and politician who has served as the 49th governor of Michigan since 2019.

Andy Beshear

Mark Kelly

Only one of these nine could do at least a half-decent job.

Jon Ossoff

JD Vance

James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman. August 2, 1984) is an American politician, author, attorney, and Marine Corps veteran. Since 2025, he has served as the 50th Vice President of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, Vance represented Ohio in the U.S. Senate from 2023 to 2025... read more

Articulate, a quick thinker, in touch with the lives of impoverished Americans, having been one himself, and really down to earth. I recommend checking out his interview with Theo Von, where he discussed a range of topics you don't usually see politicians discuss, such as firsthand accounts of opioid addiction and the Sackler family.

If the two tickets boil down to Vance vs. AOC, it's going to be a landslide far beyond any recent elections. Even traditional Democrat stalwarts know better than to vote for her.
At best, they will stay home, even if they won't actually vote for Vance.

Glenn Youngkin

Cory Booker

Jared Polis

Tulsi Gabbard

Tulsi Gabbard, born April 12, 1981, is an American politician and military officer who has served as the U.S. director of national intelligence since February 12, 2025. She represented Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District from January 3, 2013, to January 3, 2021. Gabbard left the Democratic Party on October... read more

Incredibly smart and charismatic. She has a very good chance of winning the presidency in the next couple of decades. She can attract votes from both sides. Hopefully, that comes true.

She's sounding very presidential in her post-election interviews. She might get a high-ranking cabinet appointment from Trump, and then after that, who knows.

She will probably be moderate and may flip Virginia, Colorado, and California.

Phil Scott

Marco Rubio

Marco Antonio Rubio is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States senator from Florida from 2011 to 2025. He was a candidate for the Republican nomination in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and served on several Senate committees, including Foreign Relations and Intelligence... read more

If something should happen with JD Vance, she would be the top choice to be on the Republican ticket.

Liz Cheney

Liz should team up with Rahm Emanuel. Either would be a good President or Vice President.
