A recent AI simulation of the 2028 U.S. presidential election has sparked online attention and debate. Created using Grok AI, the project explores a hypothetical race between Kamala Harris and JD Vance. While detailed, the creators stress that “the model is not a prediction but a tool to explore possible outcomes.”
On the Democratic side, Kamala Harris leads early with about 32 percent support, followed by Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. Other names like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Josh Shapiro appear, showing a divided field where Harris benefits from experience and recognition.
For Republicans, JD Vance stands out with nearly half of the projected support. He leads figures such as Donald Trump Jr., Marco Rubio, and Ron DeSantis, giving him a strong position in the simulation.
The AI builds an Electoral College map by assigning “solid” states first. Vance holds much of the Midwest, Mountain West, and Deep South, while Harris keeps strong Democratic areas like the West Coast and parts of the Northeast.
In the final result, Vance wins with 326 electoral votes, while Harris receives the rest. The simulation highlights how demographics and swing states could shape the race, but also reminds viewers that real elections can change in unpredictable ways.
