Republican candidates emerge for 2028 presidential race after Trump’s exit
As Donald Trump cannot run for president again after his recent election, potential Republican candidates for the 2028 election are emerging. Key figures include Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, and Brian Kemp, each with unique appeal to different voter segments. Nikki Haley has regained favor with Trump supporters and is seen as a strong candidate for moderates and women. Ron DeSantis maintains high approval in Florida, appealing to conservative voters. Brian Kemp, a moderate, has strengthened ties with Trump and is popular in Georgia. Other possible candidates include JD Vance, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Greg Abbott, and Lara Trump. Vance is viewed as a natural successor to Trump, while Sanders is well-known in the MAGA movement. Abbott's immigration policies and Lara Trump's family ties could also influence their candidacies.
