US presidential elections determine who leads America for four years. These elections occur every four years, bringing together millions of voters across all 50 states. The election process differs from many other countries because it uses the Electoral College system instead of simply counting the popular vote.

Each state is allocated a specific number of electoral college votes, and all 538 votes together decide the winner!

The US presidential election process starts about one year before the actual election, with candidates meeting specific constitutional requirements to run for office. Primaries and caucuses kick off in February in key states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina, setting the stage for the entire election cycle.

Each party then votes for their preferred candidate, while caucuses engage in lengthy group discussions and voting sessions that can last for many hours. Once all decisions have been made, the announcements are made at national conventions, with each party revealing their presidential and vice-presidential candidates, launching the official campaign for the general election.

The general election takes place every four years in November, though voters don't directly choose the president, they actually cast ballots for electors instead. The Electoral College system comprises 538 electors total, with each state receiving electors equal to its complete congressional representation, meaning a candidate needs at least 270 electoral votes to secure victory.

Most states operate under a winner-takes-all system for electoral votes, except Maine and Nebraska, which allocate some electors based on individual district results. This system means someone can win the national popular vote but still lose the election, which is exactly what happened to Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Should no candidate reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes, a contingent election occurs in the House of Representatives, where each state casts just one vote, and an absolute majority of 26 votes determines the next president.

The current favourite to win the US Presidential Election in 2028 is JD Vance, the current Vice President of the United States of America. Interestingly, the second favourite is Donald Trump Sr, and while the law prohibits this, many political betting experts seem to think that there's a loophole that Trump may look to in order to get his desired third spell as US President. The third favourite is Gavin Newsom, the current Governor of California, who represents the Democratic Party.

Here are the top 10 favourites to win the 2028 election, according to the US President odds at the time of writing:

• JD Vance
• Donald Trump Sr.
• Gavin Newsom
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
• Pete Buttigieg
• Josh Shapiro
• Marco Rubio
• Andrew Beshear
• Wes Moore
• Ron DeSantis

Donald Trump is the current and 47th President of the United States, earning a second term after winning the 2024 election. Serving two terms isn't uncommon in US Politics, with 21 Presidents doing so over the past few decades, however, as mentioned earlier, Donald Trump may be looking for a third term. Only Franklin D. Roosevelt has achieved the feat of serving more than two terms as US President, meaning that the 2028 Elections could prove to be an important one historically.

Here's a look at all of the US Presidents since the turn of the century, alongside the party they represent, their Vice President, and the term they served:
