US Presidents: Into the Future

[Emperor Charles V]

Hey everyone! I have a fun game we all can play. Here we will make a list together of future presidents of the United States. Here are a couple of rules before we begin.

1. Only one election per post. If something happens to the president while he or she is still in office (they die, they resign or get impeached) and the vice-president gets sworn in, that doesn't count as a full election.

2. Keep Republicans and Democrats as the two main parties at least until the mid 21st century. The parties can change platforms though.

3. No fictional presidents are allowed until 2040.

4. Please list the ticket(s) the president beats in each election. Only list the tickets that recieve at 10% of the popular vote. For instance Perot would be listed in 1992 but not in 1996.

5. Don't make the list in too in favor of either the left or the right.

6. Provide brief detail about presidents in footnotes. Don't forget to incude their home state, age, milestones (if any) and general facts about their presidency.

7. Democrats are red, Republicans are blue. Libertarians are orange (because yellow is hard to see). Thr green party (or any party centered on environmentalism) which is green. I would prefer no third party presidents until at least the 2060's.

8. Have fun!

I will start. All posts must be in this format.

2012: Barack Obama / Joe Biden (Democratic)
def: Mitt Romney / Paul Ryan (Republican)

2016: Chris Christie / Marco Rubio (Republican) [1]
def: Andrew Cuomo / Elizabeth Warren (Democratic)

[1] #45 Christopher James Christie, Republican, 54 years old, from New Jersey
The economy took a turn for a worse in Obama's second term as the national debt hit 20 million and tensions increased with North Korea and the Islamist nations. President Obama still manages to leave office with a 43% approval rating. Republican candidate Chris Christie campaigns that the Obama administration failed at its goals of improving the economy and that government spending such as Obamacare needs to be cut in order for the economy to prosper. Christie also supported more interventionalist foriegn policies opposed to Obama. Although 2016 was a close race, Christie in the end thanks to his campaign that attacked his predecessor Obama and many of his opponent Cuomo's policies being close to those of Obama, and pick of popular senator Marco Rubio as his running mate, was able to win many key swing states such as Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania (as well as his home state of New Jersey) thus winning the election. He also managed to win 45% of the Hispanic vote thanks to his support for amnesty and chosing of Rubio. Early in his term, president Christie cut many government-run social programs causing the defecit to steadily decline. In 2018, Christie and the congress with a Republican majority in both houses passed a law to repeal Obamacare. The private sector and many businesses flourished under Christie's new economic plans. Christie also drove the United States to be energy independent and supported the continuation of the Keystone Pipeline that created thousands of new jobs and was delayed by his predecessor Obama.

Just FYI, you could also use Gold for Libertarian, since yellow is too hard to view. Good idea, nonetheless!

Yeah gold works too. Thanks for liking the idea

Also another thing I forgot to mention is that maps although not neccessary would be nice.

Here's my 2016 map for this TL. I didn't have time to do the shading.

Christie / Rubio -- 335 EV
Cuomo / Warren -- 203 EV

So does anyone want to join the game?

Christie enjoyed approval ratings in the mid fifties throughout his first term. He was praised from both sides of the aisle on issues like energy independence. Despite this many Republicans were disappointed with his job  calling him a RINO. He faced a threat of a primary challenge from the right but nobody ultimately stepped forward. Many Democratic contenders opted out, including former Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, both deemed to old to run. Former New York governor Cuomo also rejected the prospect of another bid. Several other potential challengers such as Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, New Jersey Senator Corey Booker and former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe declined. Eventually a nominee emerged in the form of Kirsten Gillibrand, the first woman on a major party ticket. She chose former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick as her running mate. They attempted to credit Obama with the nation's recovery and tied Christie to the minor Recession of 2019. Christie pointed out that his policies were allowing businesses to thrive and the unemployment to sink to below 4%. Notably, issues such as gay marriage and immigration reform took a backseat this election, the latter of which caused Christie's Hispanic support to sink below 40%. Still he won 338 to 199 (1 Texas elector voting for Rand Paul). He flipped Iowa and Minnesota, the latter for the first time in 48 years. However he lost Maine's 2nd district and Nevada, cementing its transition into Lean Democrat territory just like New Mexico had done in 2008 and 2012.

Sorry no maps. I don't have 20 posts yet.

Is this your map?

This should be good.
After the fairly successful two terms of President Christie, the 2024 election was sure to be an interesting one. After tough Primaries on the Republican side, Marco Rubio was defeated by 3rd term Senator Rand Paul. On the Democrat side, Senator Mark Warner claimed victory. Rand Paul picked fellow primary contender, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana for VP. Warner picked Gov. Cory Booker of New Jersey. The Race was very contentious, but Rand Paul claimed victory due to the economy in an uptick, and an excited conservative base, and was also endorsed by the libertarian party. Winning 322-216

Rand Paul's first term was an utter disaster, after cutting departments and spending and giving enormous tax cuts to the rich the economy collapsed. Rand only just managed to hold onto the nomination after being challenged by Florida Senator Marco Rubio. The rest of the nation rallied around Hawaiian Senator Tulsi Gabbard who selected Congresswoman Chelsea Clinton as her running mate.

#47 Tulsi Gabbard, Democratic, 52 years

The 2028 election was a significant realigning election. It was the biggest wave election since the 2010 midterms. The Democrats recaptured the Senate, taking seats in Republican bastions like North Dakota, South Carolina, and Louisiana. They also reached a commanding 262-seat majority in the House of Representatives. President Gabbard worked to repair the fallacies of the Paul Administration. The economy recovered from the disastrous Recession of 2023. She enjoyed approval ratings in the high fifties, and was seen as the most formidable president since Reagan. The Republicans fielded Texas Senator George P. Bush and Representative Jon Runyan from New Jersey. The ticket was seen as a sacrificial lamb and most potential candidates, such as Illiinois Senator Aaron Schock sat this election out. President Gabbard did not do as well as expected, losing the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Alabama, Kentucky, and West Virginia as well as the three Paul had claimed in 2028. Notably, Bush, a Texas native, failed to carry his home state. The Republicans had a net gain of one seat in the Senate, and 11 seats in the House. The Democrats still held commanding majorities in both houses of Congress. Gabbard won re-election 481-57.
