2028 United States Presidential Election (Season II)

## Overview

The 2028 US Presidential election was held on the 8th of November, 2028, to determine the next American President. Democrat and Cabinet member Mia Brown emerged victorious by a narrow margin over Libertarian Senator John Justice, winning 272 electoral votes to Justice's 265. Brown also won 45% of the popular vote, 6% higher than the 39% won by Justice. Mia Brown ran on a "unity ticket" along with Green Senator Rob Kirk, although the ticket won in the end, the election was significantly closer than many had expected.

## Background

The election came for years after the upset victory of Libertarian Matt Powell in the 2024 United States Presidential Election (Season II), however, Powell was not President by the time of the election, as he had been successfully impeached part-way through his term following authorising a raid without a warrant. Vice President Jaden Berlynn then succeeded him as President, despite this, Berlynn was assassinated shortly before the election, and Green Speaker Patrick Stirner became acting President.

Another major political event was the 2026 Midterms (Season II), which was a triumph for the surging Green Party who went on to win the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, the Libertarian Party were in serious declines with many party members defecting to the Green Party.

Economically speaking, growth had been poor, with problems exacerbated by a lack of Rare Earth Metals following a serious blow to relations with China, along with the assassination of President Berlynn. There was also a political row over President Berlynn's nomination of Johny Azer Blackmore to the Supreme Court, a nomination which Senate Majority Leader Camden Garrett attempted to block, causing the Green and Libertarian Senate caucuses to merge to give Blackmore a hearing, and Blackmore was eventually confirmed.

Foreign affairs was dominated by disagreements with China following Secretary of State Steven Adams recognising the Uighur genocide, along with the expansion of the BRICS alliance which included the addition of Serbia, who had recently elected the right-wing Stefan Vujic as its President.

## Primaries

### Democratic Primaries

Initially, the Democratic Primary appeared to be the most competitive of all the primaries, appearing as a close race between Senate Majority Leader Camden Garrett, and Secretary of Defence Mia Brown. Although Garrett started off the race as slightly ahead in polling, he dropped out shortly after the controversy over Johnny Azer Blackmore's nomination to the Supreme Court, leaving Mia Brown as the presumptive nominee with little opposition.

### Green Primaries

Speaker Leonard McNelson was the early frontrunner in the race however McNelson dropped out following a New York Times article accusing McNelson of attempting to strategically move voters to the benefit of the Green Party. Following these allegations, Meridia Senator Rob Kirk somewhat relucantly entered the race, and easily won the party's nomination.

### Libertarian Primaries
