The United States presidential election of 2016 will be held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016, which will be the 58th quadrennial presidential election in which presidential electors, who will actually elect the President and the Vice President of the United States, will be chosen.
Candidates
Democrats
Should President Barack Obama win re-election in 2012, then he will not be eligible for re-election to a third term, and he has stated he would not run if he loses. This would lead to a wide-open race. The following have been mentioned as possible candidates: United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Vice President Joe Biden, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, among others.
Republicans
Should Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney be elected, he may choose to run for re-election. Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, and Newt Gingrich are frequently mentioned as front runners.
