Here are the top GOP contenders to succeed Trump for president in 2028

by Niall Stanage - 08/31/25 6:00 AM ET

President Trump is dominating the political stage for now. But attention will shift soon enough toward the 2028 race.

Trump has at times entertained the idea of seeking a third term — a notion encouraged by some of the most combative voices in MAGA World such as Steve Bannon.

The near-universal expert view is that such a quest would be flagrantly unconstitutional. Trump would also be 82 by Election Day 2028.
