2028 race reshaped after Trump's midterm defeat

bangkokpost.com —

President Donald Trump's defeat in Tuesday's midterms has reshaped the 2028 presidential race, with Vice President JD Vance's frontrunner status now in jeopardy and Democratic stars like Senator Jon Ossoff gaining momentum. Vance, 42, tried to distance himself from the disaster by blaming Trump's Iran war, but analysts note sitting vice presidents rarely win the presidency. Other Republicans like Marco Rubio face similar challenges, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Senator Ted Cruz may benefit from the turmoil. Ossoff, 39, denied presidential ambitions despite his Georgia reelection, while Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and others eye the Democratic field. Kamala Harris remains a contender, though some seek fresh faces, with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighing a run.
