United States presidential election, 2032 (Rubio, Ocasio-Cortez)

The 2032 United States presidential election took place on Tuesday, November 2, 2032. It will be the 62nd quadrennial presidential election. Voters selected presidential electors who voted on December 14, 2024,[2] to select a new president and vice president. The election will occur simultaneously alongside elections for the House of Representatives, Senate, and various state and local-level elections.
Although the economy was still weak, it has seen some recovery under the Rubio Administration. Rubio himself remained popular as many of his economic policies were well-received. His reforms in both criminal and minority rights were finally swaying many minority voters over to the Republicans. However, the Rubio Administration was criticized for its response to climate change, as the earth was progressively getting warmer and the islands of Hawaii were being overflooded.
Nevertheless, Rubio was extremely popular and easily won the Republican nomination with very few opponents.
The early Democratic front-runner was New York Senator and environmental activist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Her greatest opponent was Texas Senator Beto O'Rourke, who came from the more moderate side of the Democratic Party. Ocasio-Cortez got enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee on May 28th. She selected former Florida Governor Stacey Abrams as her running mate.
The Democrats stressed the Rubio Administration's poor response to global warming, while Republicans defended Rubio's administration's progress in minority rights and in economic recovery.
As the Democrats were still widely blamed for the Economic Depression, Rubio held an extensive lead in the polls for most of the election.
As the results came in, they confirmed a landslide for the GOP. Marco Rubio won 446 electoral votes and 55.9% of the popular vote, while Ocasio-Cortez won 92 electoral votes and 43.2% of the popular vote. This was the biggest electoral win since Ronald Reagan's victory in 1984. The election marked the first time that Republicans received more than 50% of the Hispanic and African-American vote since the 1960's.
