The US Elections of 2044

[OBD]

Ironically, as soon as my other topic was moved to a different category, I was going to actually begin the 2044 elections. So here goes!

Senator Ossoff announces White House Bid
Popular senator Jon Ossoff of Georgia announced his bid today for the Presidency. He has served in the Senate since 2030, and before that the representative for Georgia's 6th congressional district since the 2020 Bullock Wave. Despite his state shifting to the right over the past decade, Ossoff has held on as he is more conservative than most Democrats. This, however, may hurt him on the national stage, due to America as a whole shifting left.

Ugh, I want to write an explanation but I keep accidentally reloading the page

Anyway, here is some POLLING.

GOP Primaries
Vice President Fredrick Khan (R-NY) 29%
Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) 24%
Speaker Roger Mountebank (R-WA) 22%
Other 4%
Undecided 31%

Democratic Primaries
Majority Leader Brian Schatz (D-HI) 19%
Representative Rainier Decker (D-VT) 18%
Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) 18%
Governor Blake Sharper (D-CO) 15%
Other 2%
Undecided 28%

Familiar names enter the primary race
Today, two very familiar names jumped into the presidential race; Ivanka Trump and Malia Obama. Mrs. Trump currently runs the massive plethora of Trump companies, and has portrayed herself as a pro-business moderate. Like her father, she lacks political experience and is running for the Republican nomination. Malia Obama, daughter of the 44th President Barack Obama, is currently the Governor of Illinois, and before that a member of the Illinois state senate. She is running for the Democratic nomination.

Governor Kander to run
Well-known Governor Jason Kander of Missouri has decided to run for president, a spokesman reported. Kander has served as Governor for the past 8 years, and is term-limited. Before becoming Governor, he represented Missouri's 4th Congressional district. Kander is currently 62 years old.

Also, here is the explanation for the previous post.

It's now August 2043, and the primaries are starting to heat up. On the Democratic side, Senator Ossoff is joined by Brian Schatz, Senator from Hawaii, and Blake Sharper, Governor of Colorado. Additionally, progressive scion Representative Rainier Decker of Vermont has indicated interest in running. On the Republican side, Vice President Fredrick Khan, House Speaker Roger Mountebank of Washington, and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas have declared their candidacies.

In the Republican party, a civil war between the moderate and conservative wings is brewing. Thus far, Senator Cotton is the only conservative in the race. Speaker Mountebank is a well-known moderate, while VP Khan is in between. As popular president Ryan Baker retires, the Republican civil war has the potential to cripple the party.

The Democrats also lack a clear leader, but for a different reason. Their previous candidate, Brock Simmons of Wyoming, was forced to retire for personal reasons. While Democrats don't have a lot of radical ideological differences, the primaries may put some strain on the party.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Assuming I can still apply, Emily Peebleton (age 43) of North Carolina, running for re-election as Senator. If you want, you can run me for President instead.

[Kamala]

If I may:
Kamala Sawant (age 46) - a mild-mannered leftist firebrand 3rd-term Senator from South Dakota. Veepstakes, maybe?

Also a political ally of Emily Peebleton.

[OBD]

I'm gonna assume both you guys are Democrats. Please tell me if I'm wrong. Also thanks for participating!

[wxtransit]

How about John Smith, a populist, center-right Republican senator from Texas who recently became an Independent (due to disagreements with the GOP's more centrist faction) and is running for re-election*.

Veepstakes, maybe?

*Could also make a late entry into the primary race, or run in the general as an Independent (or a new party!).

Choose your adventure

[The Govanah Jake]

Since I see people are just putting there names out there:

Name - Jake Javinisk

Age - 41


Occupation - Senator from New York (Or Governor/Congressmen, you can decide) class 2


Politics - Populist center left winger known for his rapid non-interventionism and anti-corporate filibusters (if it's in the Senate)

Party - Democrat is fine

[Sirius_]

How about David Rontley, 38 year old Democratic governor of Indiana (Formerly the mayor of South Bend). He is a slightly left-leaning and ambitious centrist who is nearing the end of his first term as governor. He is a bit more left-leaning on social issues than economic ones. He is running for re-election as Indiana governor.

Thanks guys! I'll put up an update soon.

Senator Knowles announces White House bid
Celebrity-turned-senator Beyonce Knowles of Texas announced her White House bid today. Knowles, one of the more progressive members of the Democratic Party, has nationwide appeal from her celebrity days. Her critics believe she is too progressive to run, and lacks experience. But, according to some, she is now the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

Although I probably made it uglier.

In addition, not sure if I mentioned this, but John Smith doesn't caucus with either party, instead, he votes on a case-by-case basis (although mostly conservative).

Sure. I'll just make your first name Kyle. And I'm also going to assume you're a GOP senator.

LATE SEPTEMBER, 2043
Texas governor Payton Ennis enters Senate race
Republican governor Payton Ennis of Texas announced today that he was challenging incumbent senator John Smith, an Independent. Smith split from the GOP in 2042, and has been a prime GOP target for attack. However, it is still unclear if Smith will run for Senate, as he is mulling an independent Presidential run.

Senator Peebleton mulls Presidential run
Well-known Senator Emily Peebleton may run for President instead of re-election, one of her aides leaked. She has been encouraged to run by her political allies Sen. Kamala Sawant (D-SD) and Sen. Stephen Curry (D-CA). Should she enter, she will be the youngest candidate in the running for America's top office.

Representative Gallagher, Senator Sununu announce Presidential bids
Today, two more big names entered the GOP presidential race; Representative Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, and Senator Chris Sununu of New Hampshire. Both have served in US government for over 20 years, and are respected senior members of the Republican party.

Niles Chan to contest Oregon senate seat
Niles Chan, the moderate Republican representing OR-1, decided to run for Jeff Merkley's Senate seat. His running positions the Republican party to retake the seat for the first time since 2008, as Chan is very well-known and respected in Oregon.

Senator Swalwell to run for President
Senior senator Eric Swalwell of California announced his run for President from his home in Dublin, California. He is relatively unknown nationally, and thus it is unlikely he will win.

He is a slightly left-leaning and ambitious centrist who is nearing the end of his first term as governor. He is a bit more left-leaning on social issues than economic ones. He is running for re-election as Indiana governor.

Senator Knowles-Carter announces White House bid
Celebrity-turned-senator Beyoncé Knowles-Carter of Texas announced her White House bid today. Knowles-Carter, one of the more progressive members of the Democratic Party, has nationwide appeal from her celebrity days. Her critics believe she is too progressive to run, and lacks experience. But, according to some, she is now the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.

I can't believe I have to decide between Jason Kander and Beyoncé. I literally never thought I'd be put in this situation
