The United States presidential election of 2028 was the 61st quadrennial United States presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2028. Incumbent Republican President Donald J. Trump was ineligible to seek a third term in office thanks to restrictions mandated by the Twenty-second Amendment to the U.S Constitution. U.S Senator Thomas Jon Ossoff of Georgia was elected as the 48th president over incumbent Republican U.S Vice President J.D Vance, Green candidate as well as Presbyterian minister Rev. Chris Hedges of New Jersey and Libertarian nominee Larry Sharpe of New York.

Ossoff was the first Jewish (and openly non-Christian) president, the first Millennial president and the second president from Georgia after Jimmy Carter. Ruben Gallego, his running mate, became the first Hispanic vice president.
