Four things we learned this week about 2028 White House race

With the 2026 US midterm elections barely concluded, attention has already shifted to the 2028 presidential race, as Democrats gain momentum from significant congressional victories while Republicans face internal challenges. Several potential candidates from both parties who competed in the midterms have strengthened their national profiles, including Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff and Governor Josh Shapiro, though Republican incumbents like Tom Cotton and Sarah Huckabee Sanders saw narrower victories than expected. Vice President JD Vance and other Trump administration officials face pressure as exit polls suggest voter backlash against the administration's actions, particularly regarding an unsuccessful Iran military intervention.
