2028 Presidential Election (Alternate Stanlee Hudson)

The 2028 United States Presidential Election was the 61st quadrennial Presidential Election held on Tuesday, November 7. The Democratic ticket of incumbent President Kamala Harris and Vice President Pete Buttigieg defeated the Republican ticket of former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan and Michigan Senator Justin Amash. Harris would become the first President to win reelection since Barrack Obama in 2012, and the first female President to win reelection. And Hogan would become the first ever Presidential candidate from Maryland.

During the Second American Civil War, President Harris' approval ratings were high, as she was willing to negotiate with the Republicans remaining in the country, and the Republicans, mainly Senator Mitt Romney, were impressed with Harris' new respect for Republicans, moderates, and conservatives, and Harris and Buttigieg, made it through the DNC without any opposition except for a campaign from New York Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. And Hogan made it past Representative Adam Kinzinger and Former Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, to make it to the RNC, where he declared Michigan Senator Justin Amash as his running mate.

Some of the main issues that were debated in this election were the Second American Civil War, Criminal Charges for TUSA leaders if and when the Union won the war, and Climate Change.
