We already have two Adams, Johnsons, Bushes, and Harrisons. What future president could share the last name of a former president? As this is obviously quite unlikely I'm going to include anyone with even a remote chance of becoming president. Here's what I have:

Joe Kennedy III
Eric Adams
George P. Bush
Cori Bush
Mike Johnson
Aaron D. Ford
Jahana Hayes

Who else

Washington is a fairly common surname and would probably give a presidential candidate a significant advantage with low info voters, all else being equal.  I bet we will eventually see another President Washington.

*Unrelated, of course.  He couldn't have kids.

Some would presumably still be distantly related as male-line descendants of his father. (Washington had many brothers.)

Unless I'm missing someone, Eric Adams is the only one that I can think of who has even a remote chance.

We come close with the Vice President - Harris is close to Harrison.

Hillary Clinton STILL has a better chance of becoming POTUS than some of the people listed in this thread, as does Dwayne Johnson.

You know what would be hilarious? Another President Johnson during the 2060s. Then the United States would have existed through three different 60s decades, and in each one there was a president named Johnson. It would be even more hilarious for that president to be a Democrat, born in 2008, from a Southern state, elected vice president in 2060 or 2064 and then ascend to the presidency after his predecessor is killed through an assassin's bullet. Maybe he or she also leaves office in 2069 with medicore approval ratings.

Obviously she doesn't seem interested in running, but I'm surprised no one mentioned Michelle Obama.

Out of all of these, Cori Bush is my favorite possibility. Imagine the USA finally electing a strong progressive as President and having her share a last name with Dubya.

Yes, I should have said not a direct descendant.

We are going to have presidents with less whitebread-sounding names going forward

I do agree. I think Clinton's chances of winning the presidency are infinitesimally small, but they're still greater than that of enough of the people the first two posters in this thread listed.
