US Presidential Election, 2028 (ElvisCostelloFan53189)

The 2028 United States Presidential Election was held to elect the President of the United States of America. Incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden, who was at the end of his second term of office, was not eligible to seek a third term. Ultimately, the Democratic nominee, British-born singer-songwriter and New Wave rock musician Elvis Costello, ended up winning the election and becoming the nation’s 47th President, defeating his Republican opponent, former Vice President Mike Pence. Costello became the first President who was not born a United States citizen since the nation’s ninth President William Henry Harrison. During Biden’s Presidency, the United States Constitution was revised to allow people who were not natural-born United States citizens to become President. Congress was urged to make this change by a letter from political activist Alex Aerni, who said that Costello was his favorite music artist. Since Alex himself was not yet old enough to run for President, Costello chose Alex’s father John Aerni as his running mate as thanks for making it possible for him to run for President. Costello and Aerni were elected in a landslide over Pence and his running mate, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. Costello received 497 votes in the Electoral College, while Pence received 41.
