A YouTuber has used Grok to predict how the upcoming 2028 US election will pan out in a detailed breakdown shared online, including the likely winner and which states they'll triumph in.
Grok is Elon Musk's artificial intelligence bot, which is commonly used on his social media platform Twitter (or X, as it's now known). (snip)
For the sake of the Grok results, the person behind the YouTube channel Election Time input Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker, Cory Booker, and Tim Walz as potential candidates. (snip)
Looking at the Republican side of things, Vice President JD Vance is a clear frontrunner, with Donald Trump Jr. coming in second. Other potential Republican candidates listed were Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis, Robert Kennedy Jr., Nikki Haley, Ted Cruz, and Vivek Ramaswamy. (snip)
But, who wins, according to Grok?
Well, the AI bot's forecast ultimately gives JD Vance 326 electoral votes and Kamala Harris 212, meaning the US could face another four years of Republican rule.
Vance is actually predicted to get 14 more seats than Trump did in 2024, winning every state Trump won along with Minnesota and New Hampshire.

A satisfying prediction, but I wouldn’t say ‘jaw dropping’.
I will leave that up to possible nominee Kamala.
Stupid to list Ramaswamy, who is not a citizen.
Author is probably a Trump hater, hence the “jaw dropping” hyperbole.
I thought it was going to say Elon Musk.
Of course he can’t run.
Did the prompt to Grok ask it to factor in the efforts to prevent election fraud? If those are effective, it could be a game changer.
That was kind of a giveaway, too.
Haha. I see what you did there.

IMHO...Anyone who is not a natural born citizen should be eligible to run the ANY federal elective office or be a Justice of the Supreme Court.
He's been a citizen since he was born.
> the US could face another four years of Republican rule <
The author says that as if it were a bad thing.
I can assure her that it is not.
Marco Rubio
BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR
VPs rarely go on to be President...so I worry about Vance as VP.
I would vote for whomever got the nomination. I'm sure not going to vote for a Democrat.
AI can’t even tell me the right filter to use in my furnace. It astounds me that anyone takes this BS seriously.
It’ll be pretty boy Newsome for the Dems. Needs the womens vote...
AI does not mean an infallible oracle.
Enjoy. He must have meant enjoy.
Well, Obama was elected. And he wasn't naturalized.
