A YouTuber recently turned to Grok, the artificial intelligence chatbot developed by Elon Musk and integrated into X (formerly Twitter), to explore how the 2028 U.S. presidential election might unfold. The analysis noted that Donald Trump would not be eligible to run again due to the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two elected terms. With that in mind, the YouTube channel “Election Time” entered a list of potential Democratic and Republican contenders into the AI system. On the Democratic side, names included Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, and Pete Buttigieg, among others. For Republicans, leading figures included JD Vance and Donald Trump Jr..

Based on polling data referenced in the video, Grok projected that Harris and Vance would likely secure their parties’ nominations. The AI forecast gave Vance a strong advantage in several traditionally Republican states, while Harris was predicted to maintain support in reliably Democratic regions such as California and Massachusetts. After simulating the Electoral College outcome, Grok predicted that Vance would win with 326 electoral votes to Harris’s 212. While the projection is speculative and based on current trends, it highlights how AI tools are increasingly being used to analyze and discuss future political scenarios.
