The Swearengin/Merkley ticket won again.

The main topics in the election were the trade, climate change, abortion, minimum wage, social programs, and paid family leave.

Progressive primaries:

With President Swearengin's popularity very high she easily won the nomination with no competition.

Libertarian primaries:

Due to the popularity of the Libertarian party, many voters and politicians in the party thought 2028 would be their chance to win the white house. Jessica Mears was extremely popular among Libertarians with her policies and record as Governor of Virginia. She won the nomination but lost the general election due to her constant flip flopping on minimum wage and economic policies confusing many voters.

Solidarity primaries:

Conservative primaries:

After Scott Walker's loss, many Conservative voters and politicians believed they would lose again due to the platform only being popular among old people and evangelical Christians so many decided not to run. Ted Cruz was a popular politician that many Conservatives could get behind and back which gave him the nomination but still lost the general election due to his far right views and him being considered a theocrat/anarchist with his religious based and no government involvement policies.
