No major-party contenders have formally announced 2028 presidential bids as of September 2026, though minor candidates have filed with the FEC and a few exploratory steps have occurred. Frontrunners JD Vance and Kamala Harris lead early polling and prediction markets within their parties, while Gavin Newsom recently stated he would not run if Harris enters, Josh Hawley ruled out a bid, and Vance secured an initial Senate endorsement. Positioning remains fluid ahead of the November 2026 midterms, after which historical patterns suggest formal announcements will ramp up through 2027. Key variables include post-midterm signals from potential candidates, Senate dynamics, and any shifts in polling or endorsements that could prompt earlier declarations before the end of 2026.
