Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in the United States on November 7, 2028,^[1] to elect a president and vice president for a term of four years. The victors of the election are expected to be inaugurated on January 20, 2029.

After winning the 2016 and 2024 presidential elections, Donald Trump is ineligible for a third term, due to the provisions of the Twenty-second Amendment. Trump's second term expires at noon on January 20, 2029, when the winners of the election will be inaugurated as the president and vice president of the United States.

As the vice president-elect of the United States, JD Vance is likely to be considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president, with governors Ron DeSantis of Florida, Brian Kemp of Georgia and Glenn Youngkin of Virginia and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas as potential contenders.

Outgoing vice president Kamala Harris, outgoing Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, governors Andy Beshear of Kentucky, Wes Moore of Maryland, Gavin Newsom of California, JB Pritzker of Illinois, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, former governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina, as well as former representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, are considered potential contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination.
