2028 presidential election

The 2028 presidential election is beginning to take shape as potential candidates emerge in both the United States and the Philippines. In the US, California Governor Gavin Newsom is considered a leading Democratic contender. He is currently promoting his new book and has been vocal about the Democratic party's recent struggles, fueling speculation about his future ambitions. His comments suggest a willingness to fill a perceived leadership void and challenge figures like Donald Trump. Simultaneously, in the Philippines, Vice-President Sara Duterte has announced her intention to run for president in 2028. Duterte's announcement comes amid a public feud with current President Ferdinand Marcos Jnr. Her previous impeachment, later dismissed by the Supreme Court, highlights the volatile political landscape. These developments signal the early stages of political maneuvering and ambition as potential candidates position themselves for future leadership roles in their respective countries.
