Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is WhoShouldIVoteFor2028.com?

WhoShouldIVoteFor2028.com is a nonpartisan reference site that tracks and organizes public discussion around potential candidates for the 2028 U.S. presidential election.

The site does not endorse, oppose, or promote any candidate, party, or political outcome. It exists to help readers understand who is being discussed, why they are being discussed, and how early presidential fields evolve over time.

Does this site tell me who to vote for?

No.

Despite the name, this site does not provide voting advice, recommendations, or endorsements. The title reflects a common question many voters ask—not an answer the site attempts to give.

How are candidates selected for inclusion?

Candidates are included based on:

• Public visibility

• Media coverage

• Political experience

• Frequency of discussion in national political conversation

Inclusion does not indicate intent to run, likelihood of success, or suitability for office.

Why are some well-known figures not listed?

The site focuses on individuals who are currently part of the national conversation about 2028.

Figures may be excluded if they:

• Have explicitly ruled out running

• Lack sustained national relevance

• Are no longer politically active

The list may expand or contract over time.

What do the ranking tiers mean?

Tiers are used to group candidates by relative prominence and plausibility, not by quality or popularity.

• Heavyweights: Widely viewed as credible front-runners if they run

• Serious Contenders: Plausible candidates with meaningful pathways

• Dark Horses: Less obvious figures who could rise under the right conditions

• Wildcards: Unpredictable figures who may disrupt expectations

• Unsurprising Picks: Individuals often expected to consider a run, even if odds are uncertain

Tiers are descriptive, not evaluative.

Are these rankings predictions?

No.

They are contextual snapshots, not forecasts. Presidential races frequently change, especially this early in the cycle.

How often are rankings updated?

Rankings are reviewed periodically and may change as new information becomes available. There is no fixed update schedule.

Major political events—such as elections, announcements, or withdrawals—can prompt updates.

Why do rankings change over time?

Rankings may shift due to:

• Election results

• Changes in public attention

• New candidates entering or exiting the field

• Party dynamics

• Legal, health, or eligibility developments
  
  

Changes reflect evolving context, not correction of past errors.

Is this site affiliated with any political party or campaign?

No.

This site is not affiliated with any political party, campaign, candidate, or political organization, including PACs or Super PACs.

Does the site accept political advertising or donations?

No.

The site does not accept:

• Political advertising

• Campaign donations

• Fundraising solicitations

Is this site trying to influence the election?

No.

The site does not advocate for outcomes, mobilize voters, or influence ballot access or election administration. Content is informational and educational only.

Why include independent or third-party candidates if they rarely win?

Independent and non-affiliated figures can still:

• Shape political discourse

• Influence major-party platforms

• Affect election outcomes indirectly

Their inclusion reflects discussion and visibility, not feasibility.

Where does the information come from?

Information is drawn from publicly available sources, including:

• News reporting

• Public statements

• Election results

• Official government records

Sources are cited where applicable.

Do you collect personal or voter data?

No.
