The 2040 United States Elections took place on January 24, 2040. Donald Demo, a republican, defeated Democrat Andre Copeland to become the 50th president.
==Candidates==
Incumbent President North Mandela and former President Levi Starkin were term-limited from running for president, while former President Cornelius Papinski decided against running, choosing to run for House instead. In the Republican Primary, Donald Demo cruised to the nomination. Seeking to win votes from the fledging Workers Party, he nominated its Chairman, Ron Demo, for the Vice Presidency. Meanwhile, Andre Copeland narrowly defeated his closest rival Nicholas King XX to secure the presidential nomination, and nominated moderate republican Patrick Neil for Vice President.
== Campaign==
The campaign was marked by inactivity by both candidates, as well as a hostile, polarized tone. Prominent Copeland supporters such as Jeremy Primemewtwo heavily criticized Donald Demo for being inactive as governor. Meanwhile, supporters of Donald Demo, such as Matt Demo, defended his actions, as well as criticized Copeland's own record as governor. Many also drew false equivalencies with him and his brother Winston Copeland, a former Vice President who resigned in scandal. Notably, many prominent Democrats such as Adlai Stevenson II refused to endorse Copeland for unspecified reasons.
