P2028: The 2028 Presidential Candidates

President Trump is not eligible to seek re-election in 2028 ... so expect a large crowd of candidates to compete for both Democratic and Republican nominations. Plus, as always, there are lots of likely third party and independent P2028 hopefuls. So, if a person is running, or thinking of running -- regardless of party, ballot status, or chances of winning -- we have him or her listed below. Incumbent party first, following by the main opposition party, then the third party candidates, and finally the independent and write-in hopefuls.
