[1] The vice-presidential tiebreaker vote of Kamala Harris allowed the Democrats to retain a Senate majority.
[2] The retirement of Angus King (and subsequent election of Jared Golden) would allow Democrats to "gain" Maine's senate seat despite King's decision to caucus with the Democratic Party; after her primary defeat in August, Senator Kyrsten Sinema would switch her party affiliation to "independent"; Democratic nominee Ruben Gallego would flip the seat in the November election.
[3] Due to the admission of the Douglass Commonwealth [i.e. Washington, D.C. excluding the Federal District] as the 51st state and its subsequent election of 2 Democrats to the Senate, Democrats would retain 54 seats.

2028 United States presidential election
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For related races, see 2028 United States elections.​

​

The 2028 United States presidential election was the 62nd quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. The Democratic ticket of Senator Bruce Wayne of New York and Governor Jennifer Carroll Foy of Virginia defeated the Republican ticket of incumbent President Josh Hawley of Missouri and incumbent Vice President Mike Pompeo of Kansas.

Wayne, the junior Senator from New York, was widely considered a rising star in the party and emerged as the Democratic nominee ahead of a wide field of candidates, including Governor Wes Moore of Maryland, Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts, and former U.N. Ambassador Pete Buttigieg of Michigan. Wayne selected term-limited Governor Jennifer Carroll Foy for vice president. As incumbent President, Josh Hawley had little issue being renominated by the Republican Party, which canceled almost all of its primary contests in a bid to present a united front. The Forward Party would nominate Greg Orman for president and Cory Hepola for vice president.

The election took place against the backdrop of the Belarusian Civil War, which had seen rapidly rising tensions between Russia and Western Europe after Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of eastern Belarus following the deposing of Belarusian strongman Nikolai Lukashenko in 2027. The crisis had also created a schism between the US and other NATO members due to Hawley's "modern isolationist" position and suggestions of NATO provocation with the supplying of weapons to the Belarusian government. Hawley would also promise to "re-assess" America's involvement in the military alliance. Wayne would criticize Hawley's policy as "neo-appeasement", as well as condemn the State Department's role in pressuring Ukraine into territorial concessions in the Treaty of Ankara. He would also commit to designating Ukraine and Belarus as "major non-NATO allies" and sending military aid to Belarus, as well as presenting a strong stance against Russia and China. Whilst foreign policy dominated the campaign, other issues such as Supreme Court expansion, healthcare reform, abortion laws, climate change, and voting rights all played an important role in voters' minds and were key themes of the one debate that was held between the two presidential candidates (with Hawley withdrawing from the other two, citing bias of media coverage).

While polls would project an extremely slim margin of victory for Wayne, the Democratic ticket would outperform expectations, flipping 6 states and winning 311 electoral votes to Hawley's 227. The election saw a surge in turnout, up to 65.9 percent from 57.5 percent in 2024. Key reasons behind the high turnout are thought to be the divisiveness of President Hawley, motivations amongst Democrats to vote on key issues such as voting rights and abortion, and the easing of mail-in voting in many Democratic-controlled states which saw turnout increase to above 75 percent in some states. Kennedy won 84.5 million votes, the highest ever total (eclipsing the 81.2 million won by Joe Biden in 2020) for a presidential candidate, whilst Hawley won 75.1 million, the second-highest ever total won by a Republican candidate. Wayne won a number of states that Kamala Harris failed to win in 2024, including Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. He also became the first Democrat to win Alaska since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964 and Florida since Barack Obama in 2012 (with many citing Hawley's poor response to Hurricane Isaias in 2026 as the primary factor). Meanwhile, despite falling to defeat, Hawley narrowly won Michigan, a state that Harris had won in 2024.

In the aftermath of the election, Hawley refused to concede the election, citing unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud in various swing states. Members of Hawley's administration also tried to influence the vote counting process in a number of states, including Florida and Pennsylvania. Despite his refusal to concede, Hawley ultimately agreed to stand aside in the interests of national unity, although he warned that many Americans were losing faith in the "crooked and unfair process of American democracy". Protests against the result were held, but there was no repeat of the 2020 attack on the US Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump, and despite some Republican lawmakers refusing to certify the election results, Wayne was sworn in as the 48th President of the United States on January 20, 2029.

-44 (with Mississippi Senator Jansen Owen): def. Michelle Wu / Cameron Kasky (Democratic), Marc Luna / Jaymi Sterling (Alliance 2050), Ethan Nordean / Tom Woods (National Alternative)​

[1]: Bruce Wayne — the 47th President of the United States — is remembered for a few things: being the first openly-gay [well bisexual but married to a man, god that's clunky] man elected president, an aggressive, bellicose personal style, ramping up the Sino-American Cold War, and the passing of Medicare For All, as well as for (allegedly) beating a man into a coma in a fit of rage in the final grandiloquent days of his administration. Term-limited, he would release his grip on the deadlocked Democratic primary, but only after privately assuring thirteen separate people that he would make a formal endorsement at the Chicago DNC, which in turn triggered a race to Museum Campus to deliver the keynote speech, during which Michelle Wu drove back-and-forth between Toldeo and Middlebury for 19 hours and Wes Moore was forced to miss a connecting flight thanks to a bomb scare that was later revealed to be the byproduct of Wayne's (surprisingly-not-literal) train-wreck of a time-stalling detour. Wayne would serve out his term, switch off Rand Paul's life support machine in 2043 to rapturous applause, and then promptly disappear off the face of the earth. However, a slightly-insane cloaked man in combat gear and a pointy-eared mask has lately been seen in the war-torn streets of Hong Kong, raiding government convoys and assaulting police units...

[1a]: The Republican's choice of Christian Walker was meant to be some kind of counter to Bruce Wayne - after all, how to better counter a progressive gay* president than with a hyper-conservative gay** activist? The one problem with that was that Walker is (to be polite) a condescending twat with an ear-shattering voice. The selection of Christopher Rufo — or as First Gentleman Ian Clarke dourly noted, "a twinkified, tee-totaling Bannon" — for Vice President did nothing for the GOP's dismal polling numbers.​

​

[1b]: What helped the GOP even less is the far-far-right rebellion that ensued. Pastor, alt-right commentator and possible slavery-apologist Greg Locke, raging against the "homosexual [redact all of this] conspiracy" in the halls of government, would hijack the Constitution Party for a third-party bid. While he led Walker for some three months — at least his voice doesn't make the idea of disembowelment via rusty spork appealing — his campaign, too, would collapse. You know you've fucked up when the war-record-embellishing QAnonite is a step up.​

​

[2]: Michelle Wu, somehow enjoying approvals even lower than those of Trump and DeSantis by the bitter end, still managed to seize a term of her own as a result of a Republican campaign seemingly possessed by the ghost of Jeb Bush (1953-2039, RIP) and a National Alternative splinter that somehow exceeded 2% of the vote. Wu was often seen as a seat-warmer — her official portrait actually resembles Awkwafina moreso than herself — while the Quiet War grew louder in the background. At one point, the Taiwanese totally-not-an-embassy in Washington was leveled by a "tankie" National Alternative militant, which led to a series of increasingly-insane executive orders from the Oval Office until the Secretary of State seemingly went mad and began a deeply offensive ritual which pains this writer to even describe, although suffice to say that Carrick Flynn became inextricably implicated through no fault of his own, and the Democratic Party itself was so tarnished that its congressional caucuses were reduced to their Gingrich-era nadir. Wu somehow survived the '44 primaries — though it was more likely that no one was particularly eager to commit electoral seppuku — and was promptly defeated in a landslide by ...

[2a]: On paper, a ticket of Mike Gallagher — a moderate-ish electoral titan with the potential to finally turn the Midwest red — and Kyle Kashuv — a conservative firebrand with the ability to counter Florida Senator Kasky's gun control bona-fides — was perfect for 2040. In reality, a ticket of a wishy-washy moderate and an offensive-for-offensive's-sake asshole went down like a cold cup of aerated sick.​

​

[2b]: The "patriotic" "communitarian" ticket of a war criminal and a "peacenik" commentator would garner 5.3% of the popular vote, but mostly serve as an offensive sideshow.​

[3]: Adam Andrzejewski, a socially-liberal* politician and desperately needy man, had made a name for himself by winning the '38 gubernatorial race in Illinois, rebranding himself from an "anti-woke" turbocunt to a moderate, libertarian business-type, and doing deeply misguided public stunts — his decision to only wear a gimp outfit for a week "in solidarity with kink advocates" isn't even the worst thing he thought of in 2046 alone. It is no surprise that the right would be in a state of insurrection by April despite Andrzejewski winning the largest Republican landslide since Poppy Bush. As the Quiet War finally went loud with the Chinese declaration of war against the American-aligned Second Russian Republic, Andrzejewski would just about manage to prop up the Yekaterinburg government just long enough for a nuclear reactor meltdown in Sichuan to trigger the quiet collapse of the CCP. Things came apart at the seams soon after — for instance, the revelation that the Salt Lake Winter Olympics had in fact been an elaborate gag plotted by Lucas Dobre for the sake of a 30th-anniversary YouTube special led to his being browbeaten across the city by a mob and savagely beaten to death by Ben Romney, now a Utahn hero and the junior Senator for Utah from a Club Fed cell. It is most likely a blessing that we were spared the shambolic charnel-house charade of the opening ceremony, which would have involved ten thousand children dancing to WAP, something even Max Karson described as "too much".
