https://howivote.org/updates/Changes to the How I Vote 2028 guide.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-08-ff65cb43Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTEach person now has a page for each issue, with their placement history and where everyone else stands. A new placement changes page lists every time we moved someone on an issue's scale, with the date and source; most changes so far came from finding newer or better sources. All the data can now be downloaded as CSV or JSON, the field and each issue can be embedded on other sites, and a weekly roundup has its own feed. Campaigns can send a public source through the contact form, and we review it under the same rules as everyone else.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-08-100b2136Sun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTUnder our rule, Raphael Warnock's nomination market average (3.4%, DeFi Rate's average of Kalshi and Polymarket, observed November 8) is now above JB Pritzker's, whose 3.1% polling average dates from August and whose market price is about 2%. Warnock takes the 10th Democratic spot and Pritzker moves to the people we're watching. We researched Warnock with the same standards as everyone else: all 12 issues are placed from his Senate record, his own statements and established news outlets, mostly from 2025 and 2026. Pritzker's item for November 4 was removed from candidate news because he is no longer in the field. The margin between the two is small, and we will re-check it as prices move.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-08-d9303acfSun, 08 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe updated nomination market numbers from DeFi Rate's averages of Kalshi and Polymarket (Democrats observed Nov 8, Republicans Nov 7). Among the larger moves, Jon Ossoff went from 27% to 25%, Kamala Harris from 4.9% to 6%, JD Vance from 36% to 35% and Marco Rubio from 21% to 20%. We added James Talarico's Saturday Night Live appearance to candidate news for November 7. We ran the same searches for Democrats, Republicans, and independents and third parties, and found no new declarations or decisions not to run. Raphael Warnock now shows a higher market average than JB Pritzker, so we have asked for a review of the list before anything changes.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-07-62b67c69Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe gave the other 13 people the same source review as the top ten. 70 positions now cite official records, the person's own statements, campaign platforms or established news outlets in place of OnTheIssues or older sources, with a second source where we read one. Three blanks are now filled: Brian Kemp and JB Pritzker on foreign policy, and Rand Paul on AI. Where a newer source clearly fit a different point on our scale, we moved the score: Andy Beshear on climate (2 to 3), Thomas Massie on immigration (2 to 4), and Jill Stein on immigration, crime and guns (2 to 1). We found no public policy positions for John McEntee, so his issues stay blank. Five positions still use OnTheIssues because we found nothing better yet.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-07-8ff5c3c3Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe replaced 85 sources for the ten people with the highest market or polling numbers: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ron DeSantis, Kamala Harris, Mark Kelly, Gavin Newsom, Jon Ossoff, Pete Buttigieg, Marco Rubio, Josh Shapiro and JD Vance. Positions that relied on OnTheIssues or on statements from before 2023 now cite official records, the person's own statements, or established news outlets, mostly from 2023 to 2026, with a second source where we read one. Several summaries changed to match what the newer source says. Where a newer source clearly fit a different point on our scale, we moved the score: Gavin Newsom on immigration (1 to 2), climate (1 to 2) and taxes (2 to 3); Josh Shapiro on education (4 to 3); Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on immigration (2 to 1) and cost of living (2 to 1); Marco Rubio on abortion (4 to 5); and Ron DeSantis on health care (5 to 4). Every other score stayed the same. The remaining people get the same treatment next.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-07-2fab3e68Sat, 07 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTRon DeSantis wrote on X that a Washington Post report that he was preparing a 2028 run was fabricated, so we updated his status and latest move, and added it to candidate news for November 6. Rand Paul said in a statement that Republicans should offer balanced budgets and end the Iran war and the trade wars. Glenn Youngkin said on CNBC that Democrats should not read the midterms as a mandate. We could not reach the market and polling pages this run, so the market and poll numbers are unchanged.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-7131a404Fri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTA new page explains how the 2028 presidential election works: 270 of 538 electoral votes to win, a map of electoral votes by state, the early primary calendar, how 2024 was decided and recent results, each with an official source. The home page now says plainly that this guide covers the presidential race.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-2d984549Fri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTUnder our rule, anyone who has flatly said they won't run comes off the list unless markets price them at 10% or more. Josh Hawley said in September that he has no intention of running and has no market price at that level, so he moves to Also watching. John McEntee is at 3.1% in nomination markets, which places him in the top 10. We found no statement from him about running and no clear public positions yet.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-f967d3deFri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe field page now shows a two-week grid of when each person had a latest move logged or was picked for daily candidate news. It counts our own sourced picks, not total news coverage.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-a9fbe012Fri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTRon DeSantis and Brian Kemp each signed a six-week abortion limit, so we now score both the same way: 5 on our scale, up from 4. Glenn Youngkin stays at 4 because the limit he sought was 15 weeks. We also replaced four mirror links with the publishers' normal addresses.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-a2d6052dFri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe home page and the Updates page now show up to three of the most covered things potential candidates said or did each day, with a source for each and no more than two from one party in a day.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-1c3df1b7Fri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTCandidate pages and The field now show the most newsworthy thing each person said or did in the last 7 days, from a source we read. We found something for 18 of 23 people so far. Each entry disappears after 7 days. We also updated the status of Marco Rubio and Andy Beshear from their November statements.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-eb48e53aFri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTWe filled blank positions and added second sources for six people with the thinnest records: Glenn Youngkin, Brian Kemp, James Talarico, JB Pritzker, Andrew Yang and Jo Jorgensen. Positions can now list more than one source. Newer evidence changed these scores: Brian Kemp on health care (5 to 4), climate (4 to 3) and trade (4 to 3); James Talarico on guns (3 to 2); JB Pritzker on education (1 to 2); and Andrew Yang on health care (1 to 2), abortion (2 to 1), taxes (3 to 2), education (2 to 3) and guns (2 to 1). Some wording changed too, where a newer or more direct source said something different.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-06-a5b5312fFri, 06 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTNew nomination market averages from Nov 6. No poll average changed. Status updated from pages we read: JD Vance (his October statement that he hasn't made up his mind), Marco Rubio ("no plans at this time"), Ron DeSantis (declined to rule out a bid), Ted Cruz (reported testing the waters) and Josh Hawley (his September statement that he has no intention of running, which we had missed). Ted Cruz's trade position moved from a 2018 source to his November statement on tariffs, from 4 to 2. Glenn Youngkin, Thomas Massie and others moved with the markets. JB Pritzker and Joe Kent were not in the top rows shown, so their last market numbers stay. No major figure has declared.https://howivote.org/updates/2026-11-05-17840e25Thu, 05 Nov 2026 12:00:00 GMTThe Illinois 2026 guide is archived. The new guide covers 10 likely Democrats, 10 likely Republicans and 3 independent or third-party figures on 12 issues. We added guns and AI & technology to the issue list.
