2024 US Presidential Election (FuturePolitix)

The United States presidential election of 2024 was the 60th quadrennial American presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
Kansas Governor Kris Kobach, and his running mate, New York Representative Elise Stefanik; defeated Facebook co-creator Mark Zuckerberg, and his running mate, California Governor Gavin Newsom.
While Zuckerberg and Newsom's bold progressive message had a wider appeal to voters, they were only victorious in the popular vote - losing to the steadfast neo-conservative duo of Kobach and Stefanik 287 electoral votes to 251. 
=== Primaries ===
Kris Kobach was the victorious Republican nominee, outlasting a broad, talented field of opponents. 
* Kansas Governor Kris Kobach
* New York Representative Elise Stefanik
* Musician Kanye West
* Wisconsin Senator Paul Ryan
* Texas Senator Ted Cruz
* Florida Senator Marco Rubio
* Former convict Don Blankenship
* Senator Ben Sasse
* Libertarian personality Austin Petersen
* Alt-Right personality Richard Spencer
Mark Zuckerberg won the Democratic nomination, defeating an equally broad field of candidates - one far smaller than that of the 2020 field, but with a wider range of political ideologies and beliefs. 
* Facebook co-creator Mark Zuckerberg
* Our Revolution leader Nina Turner
* Hawaii Senator Tulsi Gabbard
* Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison
* Texas Senator Julian Castro

* California Governor Gavin Newsom
* Washington Governor Jay Inslee
* Missouri Senator Jason Kander
The Libertarian Party nominated activist Darryl W. Perry, who selected fellow activist Lilly Tang-Williams as his running mate. The Green Party selected San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz as their nominee, who selected activist Faith Spotted Eagle as her running mate. Alt-right activist Richard Spencer ran an independent campaign with Identity Evropa creator Nathan Damigo, accepting the nomination of the Constitution Party, and several other far-right political parties. 
=== General Election ===
In similar fashion to the uprising of Ronald Reagan, Governor Kris Kobach and Representative Elise Stefanik unleashed the American populist right - and was victorious in the general election. Zuckerberg and Newsom did win the popular vote, but Kobach and Stefanik carried the electoral-vote heavy centrist swing states. While the Republican Party's image was hurt by the Trump administration and campaign of Richard Spencer (who managed to gain 3% of the vote, more than the Libertarian Party and Green Party combined) - Kobach and Stefanik influenced voters with their young, populist, conservative, anti-politically correct message.
