The 2028 U.S. presidential election is heating up early, and Vance reflects on the Iran War

The U.S. midterm elections have just concluded, and both parties have begun strategizing for the 2028 presidential election. On the Republican side, Vice President Vance has publicly linked the midterm election losses to the war in Iran, 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 his candidacy and has not publicly broken with Trump. Rubio, DeSantis, and others are also listed as potential Republican candidates.

On the Democratic side, the victory in the midterm elections has enhanced the political influence of several party figures. Pennsylvania Governor Shapiro, Illinois Governor Pritzker, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and California Governor Newsom have all garnered attention. Georgia Senator Ossoff, after winning re-election, has also entered discussions as a potential candidate for 2028, although he has previously stated that he has no plans to run. Currently, neither party has officially initiated the presidential candidate nomination process. The cost of living, inflation, the war in Iran, immigration, and U.S. foreign policy are becoming core issues for potential candidates to garner party support and voter attention.
