However, he will not be eligible to run for another term, meaning the 2028 presidential election will bring a new race for the White House.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And while the next election is still two years away, several names are already attracting attention.<br><br>According to Oddschecker, these are the five candidates currently considered among the most likely contenders to become the next president of the United States:<br><br><strong>1. JD Vance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JD Vance is among the names frequently mentioned when discussing the Republican Party\u2019s future, making the current vice president an obvious contender for 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bet365 has given the 42-year-old odds of 6\/1 to win the next presidential election, according to VT. However, Vance has yet to confirm whether he intends to pursue the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In October, he said he would wait until after the November midterm elections before deciding.<br><br><strong>2. Jon Ossoff<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democrats\u2019 success in the midterms has put several prominent figures in the spotlight, including Georgia Senator Jon Ossoff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His name has been linked to the 2028 presidential race, with William Hill and Betfred offering odds of 7\/2 on him winning the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, those betting predictions appear to be at odds with Ossoff\u2019s own intentions. The senior U.S. senator has repeatedly made it clear that he is not interested in pursuing the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Democrat whose emerged as a possible presidential contender is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, widely known as AOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She has not formally announced a campaign, but she is reportedly considering a run in 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bet365 has placed her at 6\/1 odds of winning the presidency, putting her level with Vance in its predictions.<br><br><strong>4. Gavin Newsom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">California Governor Gavin Newsom is another prominent Democrat being discussed as a potential White House successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although he has not officially entered the race, he is widely considered a possible candidate for his party\u2019s 2028 presidential nomination. His chances of winning are currently listed at 7\/1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, there is one important factor that could determine whether he enters the race: former Vice President Kamala Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newsom has said he would not run against Harris if she decides to seek the presidency again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Marco Rubio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final name among the five potential candidates is Marco Rubio, who currently serves as U.S. Secretary of State and National Security Adviser under Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubio has not announced any plans to run for president, but he is considered a possible Republican contender when the next election comes around. His current odds of winning stand at 13\/2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next president odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With two years remaining before voters choose their next president, none of the five potential candidates has officially secured a place in the race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still, the Democrats\u2019 sweeping midterm victory has added a new dimension to the political landscape, and the battle to succeed Trump could become one of the defining stories of the coming years.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump still has two years left in the White House, but the latest midterm election results have already raised questions about who could take his place when his presidency ends.The Democrats secured control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives in a historic victory, dealing a major blow to Trump\u2019s Republican Party.The &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25409,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25408","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25408"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25408\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25410,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25408\/revisions\/25410"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/25409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cehre.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
