Multiple 2028 Presidential Contenders Visit Early Primary States

Early activity for the 2028 U.S. presidential election is already underway, with potential candidates from both parties visiting key primary states. On the Republican side, Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are seen as frontrunners, while Democrats like Senator Ruben Gallego are making exploratory visits to states such as Iowa, though he remains focused on his current role. Governor Glenn Youngkin is also engaging with GOP voters in early primary states. Meanwhile, in Arizona's Congressional District 7, both Democratic and Republican candidates are competing in special primary elections to fill the seat vacated by the late Congressman Raúl Grijalva, with voting open until July 15, 2025. These developments underscore an active political landscape as candidates position themselves for upcoming elections. The focus remains on voter engagement and early groundwork in crucial battleground and primary states.
