With the 2026 U.S. midterms in the rear view mirror, it’s time to officially begin the road to the White House. That’s right, attention has already turned to the 2028 race and what a race it should be on both the Democratic and Republican sides, with an open primary for both parties.
Let’s take an early look at the top 10 names DraftKings Predictions board for the 2028 U.S. presidential election, which includes a sitting vice president, a sitting secretary of state, three governors or former governors, and a Georgia senator who just won re-election by a healthy margin — none of whom has formally declared a campaign to be the leader of the free world.
Disclaimer: The following article reflects market activity at the time of capture — not official election results.

When is the 2028 U.S. presidential election?
The next U.S. presidential election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 7, 2028. Federal law sets Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, and the first Monday of November 2028 falls on the 6th. The winner would be inaugurated on January 20, 2029.
Who currently holds the presidency?
Donald Trump is serving his second term as president, having been inaugurated on January 20, 2025, with JD Vance as vice president. The 22nd Amendment limits a president to two terms, making Trump ineligible to run again in 2028.
Have any of these candidates declared a 2028 campaign?
No. None of the 10 people priced on this market has formally announced a presidential campaign, and candidate filing for 2028 remains years away. The board reflects trading activity on named individuals rather than a declared field.
Prediction-market percentages reflect current trading activity and may not add up to exactly 100%. Prices move as news develops and as traders buy and sell, and a price is not a forecast, a projection or an official result.
