The 2028 Republican Party presidential primaries will be held to select delegates to the 2028 Republican National Convention to determine the Republican Party's nominee in the 2028 United States presidential election.
Potential nominees
[edit]Ron DeSantis
[edit]Following the 2022 midterm elections, Florida governor Ron DeSantis was established as a formidable opponent to incumbent nominee Donald Trump.[1] The New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman's book Confidence Man (2022) states Fox News executive Rupert Murdoch was willing to "throw [Trump] over" following his loss in the 2020 presidential election;[2] Fox News began portraying DeSantis in a positive light.[3] In May 2023, DeSantis announced his campaign in the 2024 presidential election, but delayed his announcement until the conclusion of the Florida legislative session, providing Trump with several months to insult DeSantis through sexual insinuations and claims of social ineptitude. Trump was indicted in Manhattan for his involvement in a scandal with pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels.[4] The DeSantis campaign faltered under financial difficulties with its political action committee Never Back Down and ridicule from supporters of Trump. In January 2024, following the Iowa Republican presidential caucuses, DeSantis announced he would end his campaign.[5] DeSantis has demonstrated a potential for being a candidate in the 2028 presidential primaries, stating that Trump voters in Iowa told him that they would vote for him in 2028.[6]
