The 2028 United States presidential election was the 61st quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. The Republican ticket of Vice President Vivek Ramaswamy and U.S. Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul defeated the Democratic ticket of U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman and U.S. Representative from Minnesota's 3rd congressional district Dean Phillips and the Reform ticket of businessman Ross Perot Jr. and former Alabama State Treasurer George Wallace Jr. The election took place against the backdrop of the Chinese invasion of Taiwan and the Egyptian invasion of Israel. The election saw voter turnout of 74.6%, the highest by percentage of any presidential election in United States history.
The Republican Party held a government trifecta at the time of the election. The incumbent President of the United States was Republican Donald Trump, who was term-limited and prevented from running again. His Vice President, Vivek Ramaswamy, quickly became the front runner for the Republican nomination in 2028. His main competition came from Ron DeSantis, the former Governor of Florida, and Brian Kemp, the former Governor of Georgia. Ramaswamy won the Republican nomination at the 2028 Republican National Convention and selected Rand Paul, the junior U.S. Senator from Kentucky, as his running mate.
The Democratic Party had largely collapsed during the 2024 United States presidential election. Then-incumbent Joe Biden was nominated by the Democratic Party, but died of a stroke ahead of the election. As a result, then-Vice President Kamala Harris became the 47th President and Democratic nominee. She was incredibly unpopular and many disaffected Democrats split to form the Free Democratic Party or join the Forward Party. The rift had not healed by 2028 and the Democratic National Committee had self-dissolved in 2027. The remaining Democrats came together to organize the 2028 Democratic National Convention, which was held in a Target retail store in Manhattan. The Democratic Party ultimately nominated John Fetterman, the junior U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. Fetterman selected Dean Phillips, the U.S. Representative from Minnesota's 3rd congressional district, as his running mate.
In 2024, the Reform Party had finally managed to recover from its 2000 primaries disaster. With new by-laws, a reformed platform, and a denouncement of Pat Buchanan, the Reform Party officially endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his independent presidential campaign. Kennedy's 2024 campaign garnered a lot of support, and many Kennedy voters joined the Reform Party. Ross Perot Jr., a businessman and the son of Reform Party founder Ross Perot, ultimately rejoined the Reform Party after previously isolating himself from the organization. He received the Reform Party nomination for 2028. Perot selected George Wallace Jr., an Alabama politician and the son of American Independent Party founder George Wallace, as his running mate.

The 2004 United States presidential election was the 55th quadrennial presidential election, held on November 2, 2004. The Democratic ticket of Joe Lieberman, a U.S. Senator from Connecticut, and Bob Graham, a U.S. Senator from Florida, defeated the Republican ticket of George W. Bush, the incumbent President of the United States, and Dick Cheney, the incumbent Vice President of the United States. Happening in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks and the Iraq War, foreign policy was a major issue in this election, alongside abortion, same-sex marriage, and the economy. Bush became the first incumbent President to lose reelection since his father George H. W. Bush in 1992, leading to the creation of the supposed "Bush curse".
After narrowly losing the 2000 United States presidential election, the Democratic Party entered a complicated 2004 primary season to find a presidential nominee. Former Vice President and 2000 Democratic nominee Al Gore declined to run again, leaving the race open to a crowded field of candidates. John Kerry, a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts, was initially seen as the favorite upon announcing his campaign. Joe Lieberman, a U.S. Senator from Connecticut and the Al Gore's running mate in 2000, later announced his own campaign and overtook Kerry in the polls to become the new favorite. Dennis Kucinich, a U.S. Representative from Ohio, eventually became a strong third-place contender for the Democratic nomination, focusing his campaign on opposition to the War on Terrorism. After a contested National Convention, Lieberman won the Democratic nomination on the fourth ballot. Lieberman selected Bob Graham, a U.S. Senator from Florida, as his running mate.
Incumbent President George W. Bush was nominated by the Republican Party for re-election to a second term with relative ease. Ron Paul, a U.S. Representative from Texas, mounted a minor primary challenge against Bush, announcing Pat Buchanan as his running mate early into the campaign. Paul dropped out after a second-place finish in the New Hampshire primary. Bush selected incumbent Vice President Dick Cheney as his running mate once again.
After losing the Democratic nomination, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich refused to endorse Joe Lieberman. He was offered a presidential nomination by the Green Party of the United States. Kucinich accepted the nomination and took on Ralph Nader, a lawyer from Connecticut. His campaign was endorsed by Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan, who also refused to endorse their party nominee. As a result, the Kucinich campaign pulled away anti-war voters from both the Democratic and Republican parties (as well as the Libertarian Party).
