No major-party figures have formally announced 2028 presidential campaigns as of late August 2026, though exploratory activity and polling have intensified. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio lead early Republican positioning, while Democrats including Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez top surveys and have signaled openness through interviews and visits to early primary states. Recent developments include minor filings by candidates such as Dan Greaney and Royce White, Buttigieg stating he is “more inclined than not” to run, and Senator Chris Van Hollen describing himself as “kicking the tires.” The November 2026 midterms remain the key near-term catalyst, after which announcements are widely expected to accelerate ahead of the 2028 primaries.
