The 2028 United States presidential election was the 61st quadrennial presidential election, held on Wednesday, November 5, 2028. The Democratic ticket of Former U.S. Representative from Hawaii Tulsi Gabbard and California Governor Gavin Newsom would defeat the Republican ticket of Former President Donald Trump and T.V. host Tucker Carlson as well as New York City Mayor Andrew Yang and Robert F. Kennedy Jr by the popular vote and electoral college. However Gabbard would not become President as the election was inconclusive, as no candidate won a majority of the electoral vote. Despite leading the popular vote and electoral collage vote, Tulsi Gabbard would not become President as the House of Representatives would pick Andrew Yang to be President and the Senate would pick Gabbard to be Vice President.
In a competitive primary Gabbard would narrowly beat U.S. Senator Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, eventually picking Newsom as her running mate. The Republican primaries would see Former President Donald Trump barely beat Florida Governor Ron DeSantis in a hotly contested primary. After beating DeSantis most GOP leadership urged Trump to choose DeSantis as his running mate for his massive popularity and consistent polling over both Gabbard and Harris. Trump however refused angry at DeSantis running against him at all denounced him as a RINO and declared his personal hatred for him. Trump picked loyalist and Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Andrew Yang would run unopposed in the Forward Party primary. After being rejected by Trump, Yang offered Kennedy a spot on the ticket in a unity campaign. Kennedy accepted with the belief that it was a symbolic gesture and actually winning the election wasn't possible.
On election night Trump began to claim the election was stolen from him before the results of the first states were called. As the night went on it became clear that Gabbard would edge Trump out however by the end of the night no candidate had reached the 498 votes required to be President. The votes out of Philippines, Iraq and Ohio were not conclusive before the night had ended and by early morning were all called for Gabbard yet that still didn't put her at 498 electoral votes. Trump took to twitter to spread misinformation about the election being rigged. He called the Philippines "a worthless shithole state that could not be trusted to count their votes" and demanded the Federal government take over their counting process and conduct a recount.
As the electoral college failed to elect a President, the decision was left to Congress who selected Andrew Yang to be President. This caused riots in both democratic and republican cities. The majority reason for the rejection of Trump and Gabbard was fear of what a second Trump administration would bring and a backdoor agreement between Yang and Gabbard to have her serve as Vice President and President after Yang's term.
