Federal elections
[edit]Presidential elections
[edit]The 2028 United States presidential election will be the 61st quadrennial U.S. presidential election. The election will take place on November 7, 2028. This presidential election will be under the electoral vote distribution based upon the 2020 census. In each state, the presidential electors who actually elect the president and vice president of the United States will be chosen; a simple majority (270) of the 538 electoral votes is required to win the election.
In the previous election Donald Trump and the Republican Party won a trifecta. Incumbent President Trump is ineligible for a third term, per the term limits established by the 22nd Amendment of the United States Constitution.[2][3] This will be the first presidential election since 2012 without Trump as the Republican nominee.
Senate elections
[edit]34 seats in the United States Senate will be up for election, including all Class 3 seats.[4][5] Republicans gained majority control of the Senate in the 2024 elections by flipping four Democratic seats. Four Democratic-held seats, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada are in states won by Donald Trump in the previous presidential election.
House of Representatives elections
[edit]All 435 voting seats in the United States House of Representatives will be up for election.[6] Additionally, elections will be held to select the non-voting delegate for the District of Columbia and the non-voting delegates from 4 of the 5 U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico which its non-voting delegate serves a 4-year term.
