2028 United States elections

Incumbent Republican President Donald Trump won the 2024 United States presidential election against Democrat Kamala Harris in part due to promises of economical renewal following the 2021–2023 inflation surge and an "America First" agenda. Early into Trump’s second term, he has imposed tariffs on much of the world in an attempt to stimulate growth in the U.S. This decision has encountered scrutiny from numerous economists and global leaders for its potential negative impacts. On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran, causing the 2026 Iran war, a decision that has faced backlash and scrutiny from Democratic and Republican leaders. == Federal elections ==
