Trump is barred by the Constitution and cannot be elected to a third term, so both parties will have to find another candidate. In the coming weeks, potential contenders are expected to contact donors and visit primary states to assess their chances of winning the election.
republican vice presidentvanes (JD Vance) is the favorite. He has popularity, fundraising advantages and the support of investors in the technology industry, but the war in Iran and the policy burden of keeping prices down could also hinder the election.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the most likely and popular candidate to replace Vance.

Although he has said he has no intention of running for the White House, he is a favorite among bookmakers.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has served as the Democratic Party’s leading anti-Trump opponent in the first year of Trump’s second term, but has not yet established a leading position; His “coastal liberal” image may limit his appeal.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who once stood against Trump, still has supporters within the party, but her record of losing the election in 2024 is stark.
New York state Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could take over as standard-bearer for progressives, or she could be elected to the Senate. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro represents a centrist and was recently successfully re-elected in a key swing state, but his pro-Israel stance may clash with progressives.
