The 2028 presidential race remains open following President Donald Trump’s term-limited second term, with no major-party candidates having formally announced or filed exploratory committees as of September 2026. Early positioning centers on Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio among Republicans, alongside Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Pete Buttigieg on the Democratic side, as reflected in national and state-level polling. Recent statements include Newsom indicating he would not challenge Harris and Rubio emphasizing focus on his current roles without ruling out a future bid. Activity is widely expected to accelerate after the November 2026 midterms, when potential contenders typically form committees, visit early primary states, and begin formal announcements throughout 2027 ahead of 2028 primaries.

An announcement by the listed individual will be sufficient to trigger a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether they actually filed a nomination to run, or whether they actually file a nomination to run in the future.
A qualifying announcement must be explicit and unambiguous. Conditional statements, or statements that are clearly sarcastic, made in jest, or immediately clarified as not being genuine will not count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements by the listed individual (ex: via speech, social media, etc.), however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
