2044 US Presidential Election (Alenario)

The 2044 US Presidential Election was 65th quadrennial presidential election, held on November 8, 2044. Other elections were held on November 8 such as gubernatorial, house and senate elections.

The Libertarian nominee and Incumbent President Adam Kokesh (L-AZ) was re-elected to a second term against Progressive Nominee and U.S. Senator Malia Obama (P-IL) and Businessman Don Sandman (I-MN).

President Kokesh would continue the Kamlim era with this policies, which made the 2040s economy good. Kokesh would be in favor of re-election, until Businessman and founder of TruthTube Don Sandman announced his presidential campaign as a Independent. Sandman would be viewed as nationalist by the mainstream media, supporting strong borders.

As the incumbent president, Kokesh would win his party's nomination with no completion. However the Progressive Party would have two candidates fighting for the nomination, including U.S. Senator and daughter of former President Barack Obama, Malia Obama and U.S. Senator David Hogg of Florida. Obama would narrowly win the primary and chose U.S. representative Emma Gonzalez as her running mate, bringing the Hogg base to her.

This election would be considered close due to Sandman stealing potential Kokesh votes. But on the election day, Kokesh was narrowly re-elected against Obama with 287 electoral votes. Sandman would get 11% of the vote, but wouldn't win any electoral votes.

Libertarian Party
President Kokesh wouldn't have be challenged in the Libertarian Primary. He would chose Vice President Eric Johnson to be his running mate again.

Don Sandman's Independent candidacy
