Presidential Election Republican Nomination 2028
- Jul 6, 2028, USA
He was elected in 2016 and again in 2024 to be President of the US.
Less than a year into his Presidency, the Economic Times shows that former popular President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit an all-time low, more so than any other President over the last 70 years, with a -7 drop.
At such an early stage in his Presidency, CNN analyst Harry Enten has noted that this drop in popularity is unusual and, while speculation is rife, the core reasons seem to be that he has polarizing policies, alongside allegations about the appearance of SpaceX owner Elon Musk in the White House, as well as a lot of voters being somewhat conflicted about DOGE policies.
This has led many Republican voters and members of the Republican Party to look ahead to 2028 to see who is likely to be the next Republican Candidate for the office of President.
If you want to know more about the next Presidential Election in the US, as well as who is the most likely to win the Republican nomination, read on to learn more.

Can Trump Stand in the 2028 Election?
In a word, no, Donald Trump Sr cannot stand for the 2028 election for president as, in 2028, he will have had his two terms in office. It is a common misconception that in order for a president to have obtained his two office terms, they need to be back-to-back. This is not the case and removes Donald Trump Sr from the race to be the Republican nominee and President in 2028.
Who Can Vote For The Republican Nomination?
At the time of writing, and according to the official Library of Congress website, the candidates have to go through primary elections and caucuses where they will win a number of delegates based on how many votes they receive. The delegates then vote for their assigned candidate at the political party’s convention.
To receive a presidential nomination for any party in the US, the candidate has to be a natural-born US citizen, be at least 35 years old, and have lived in the US for a minimum of 14 years.
