1996 if every non-Bill Clinton voter voted for Bob Dole (aka if Clinton only won states where he won a majority):

And the reverse:

2016

Donald J. Trump [R-NY] / Gov. Mike Pence [R-IN]
Fmr. Secy. Hillary Clinton [D-NY] / Sen. Tim Kaine [D-VA]
We know the story here.

2020

Pres. Mike Pence [R-IN] / Amb. Nikki Haley [R-SC] - 269
Sen. Kamala Harris [D-CA] / Rep. Seth Moulton [D-MA] - 269
Trump resigns with impending impeachment. Pence pulls a Ford-style comeback, except it works. Tie game, House elects Pence.

2024

Gov. Jason Kander [D-MO] / Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto [D-NV]
Pres. Mike Pence [R-IN] / VP Nikki Haley [R-SC]
Yes, I took inspiration from TD's realignment TL. It's great!

2028

Pres. Jason Kander [D-MO] / VP Catherine Cortez Masto [D-NV]
Fmr. Sen. Marco Rubio [R-FL] / Gov. Kim Reynolds [C-IA]
Kander is reelected, and an insurgent Conservative Party forms and teams up with the GOP.

2032

Sen. Beto O'Rourke [D-TX] / Gov. Tim Ryan [D-IN]
Sen. Joni Ernst [C-IA] / Dwayne Johnson [R-CA]
The Ryan–Johnson debate was one for the ages. Also, the Republican-Conservative alliance continues, with the Tories on top this time

2036

Sen. Mia Love [C-UT] / Paul Inlet [C-MD]
Pres. Beto O'Rourke [D-TX] / VP Tim Ryan [D-IN]
The sun belt/rust belt Dem ticket doesn't work this time, and the Tories have completely taken over the center-right, marking the end of the Party of Lincoln/Eisenhower/Reagan/Trump. A slow but dignified death for the GOP

2040

Fmr. Gov. Pete Buttigieg [D-IN] / Sen. Lillian Ressly [D-NM]
Pres. Mia Love [C-UT] / VP Paul Inlet [C-MD]
The Democrats' Golden Boy is released to take down President Love.

I would continue further but I'm already taking up enough forum space as is. Italicized names are ones I made up, since 2036 and 2040 are far enough into the future that today's politicians probably won't have much to do with it.

Wow these are great, Kamala!

Cont:

'44

Pres. Lillian Ressly [D-NM] / Sen. Marc Peña
Haynes Thrush [C-CA] / Gov. Joseph Golding [C-WI]

After Pres. Buttigieg is killed, the ultra-liberal Ressly manages to ride his popularity to victory over a wannabe-Trump businessman-turned politician

'48

Sen. Frances Vercellotti [D-VA] / VP Marc Peña [D-FL]
Sen. Jordan Merkley [C-MO] / Rep. Josué Mendoza [C-CA]
Rep. Krysten Freeman [D-GA] / Mayor Gabriela Godoy [C-NY]

A civil war in Venezuela turns brutal, and the peacenik Ressly defies public opinion by choosing not to intervene. She is primaried by pro-war Vercellotti, who keeps her VP for continuity's sake and manages to win despite a Democratic Party divided over war

'52

Pres. Frances Vercellotti [D-VA] / VP Marc Peña [D-FL]
Gov. Michael Howe [C-FL] / Sen. Paulina Gallinal [C-PR]
Fmr. Mayor Gabriela Godoy [I-NY] / Dr. Pasuya Galloway [I-CA]

Vercellotti succeeds in gathering a coalition to stabilize Venezuela and handles the war well. Things generally feel good, so the People reward their President

'56

Rep. Josué Mendoza [C-CA] / Luke Harris-Brewer [C-AZ]
Gov. Ty Rocasolano [D-WA] / Mayor Paxton Belknap [D-UT]

Vercellotti was popular, but so was Clinton when Bush was elected, so I guess weird things just happen sometimes

'60


Pres. Josué Mendoza [C-CA] / Luke Harris-Brewer [C-AZ]
Sen. Victorea Dunham [D-OH] / Sen. Olivia Mikkelsen [D-MA]

Mendoza liberalizes the space travel and mining industry and it sees rapid growth, boosting the economy

These are fun!

2000: Too close to call!
In a nail-biter of an election, it all came down to Florida. After numerous recounts, VP Gore ekes out a win.

VP Al Gore / Sen. Joe Liberman
Gov. George W. Bush / Fmr. Sec. Dick Cheney

2004: Status quo
After, the 9/11 attacks, the nation rallied around its President. Gore's approval rating declined steadily from its 85% peak in early 2002, but it lasted long enough to win him reelection in 2004.

Pres. Al Gore / Rep. Dick Gephardt
Sen. John McCain / Sen. Elizabeth Dole

2008: History
The 2007/08 financial crisis left the country incensed at its Democratic leadership, and the Republican who won the White House in 2008 on a message of change was Mel Martinez, the nation's first Hispanic president.

Sen. Mel Martinez / Gov. George Pataki
Gov. Bill Richardson / Sen. Mary Landrieu

2012: Forward
Despite massive left-wing anti-Martinez sentiment, and a landslide win in the 2010 midterms, the Democratic Party remained divided going into 2012, and Martinez was able to win a decisive reelection.

Pres. Mel Martinez / VP George Pataki
Fmr. Gov. Janet Napolitano / Gov. Ted Strickland

2016: Upset
VP Pataki was crowned as Martinez's successor before the election season began, and was the frontrunner throughout 2015 and 2016, despite some surprising opposition from Sen. Orrin Hatch. All observers expected a Pataki victory, but little-engine-that-could Tulsi Gabbard managed to surprise them all with a victory.

Sen. Tulsi Gabbard / Gov. Jack Conway
VP George Pataki / Gov. J. C. Watts

2020: Popularity contest
Despite the 2018 impeachment of President Gabbard, her VP, Jack Conway, was very charismatic and popular. Paired with Sen. Barack Obama, they were unstoppable. Despite most polls suggesting that more of the country agreed with Cruz and Taylor's proposals and platform, Conway/Obama won their hearts.

Pres. Jack Conway / Sen. Barack Obama
Sen. Ted Cruz / Gov. Mary Taylor
