The following is a list of people who appear to be the most likely prominent political figures who may declare an intent to form a campaign to run for President of the United States in 2028.
Before reading this list, several things should be noted:
1) This list intentionally includes people who have run multiple times in the past, but may not run again in the future. The purpose of including such people is to make the list as exhaustive and complete as possible, in case long-shot candidates do decide to run;
2) This list also includes some prominent Greens, Libertarians, and other political figures who may run in 2028;
and
3) Democrat Cenk Uygur was born outside the United States, and therefore will most likely be considered ineligible to assume office if he runs again.
