The 2028 U.S. presidential election is heating up early, Vance reflects on the Iran war, and multiple Democratic governors are drawing attention.

November 5 — Just after the U.S. midterm elections ended, both parties have begun positioning for the 2028 presidential race. On the Republican side, Vice President Vance publicly linked the midterm election losses to the Iran war, proposing four tasks: ending the war, addressing the cost of living and inflation, adhering to "America First," and adjusting U.S.-Israel relations, in an attempt to respond to voters' dissatisfaction with the Trump administration's foreign policy. However, Vance has not yet announced a run, nor has he publicly broken with Trump. Rubio, DeSantis, and others are also listed as potential Republican candidates.

On the Democratic side, the midterm election victories have boosted the political influence of several party figures. Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro, Illinois Governor Pritzker, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and California Governor Newsom have all drawn attention. After winning reelection, Georgia Senator Ossoff has also entered discussions of potential 2028 candidates, though he previously said he has no plans to run for now.

Currently, neither party has officially launched the presidential nomination process. The cost of living, inflation, the Iran war, immigration, and U.S. foreign policy are becoming the core issues for potential candidates to win party support and voter attention.
