2028 Presidential Election (Another Wither)

The 2028 United States presidential election was the 61st quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. In one of the closest presidential elections ever, the Republican ticket of former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, and Texas representative Dan Crenshaw defeated the ticket of vice president Kamala Harris and former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper. This was the first election not only in which the Republican party nominated a female presidential candidate, but also the first election in which both presidential candidates were female. Haley became the first female president.

Both major party candidates faced large fields of candidates, somewhat reminiscent of the Democratic primary in 2020. Haley and Harris both managed to get by with slight margins. Former congressman Justin Amash won the Libertarian nomination for the second election in a row, this time with activist Adam Kokesh, and Green party co-founder Howie Hawkins won the Green nomination with 2024 vice presidential nominee, Dario Hunter.

Procedure
Article Two of the United States Constitution states that for a person to serve as president, the individual must be a natural-born citizen of the United States, be at least 35 years old, and have been a United States resident for at least 14 years. Candidates for the presidency typically seek the nomination of one of the various political parties of the United States. Each party develops a method (such as a primary election) to choose the candidate the party deems best suited to run for the position. The primary elections are usually indirect elections where voters cast ballots for a slate of party delegates pledged to a particular candidate. The party's delegates then officially nominate a candidate to run on the party's behalf. The presidential nominee typically chooses a vice presidential running mate to form that party's ticket, which is then ratified by the delegates at the party's convention. The general election in November is also an indirect election, in which voters cast ballots for a slate of members of the Electoral College; these electors then directly elect the president and vice president. If no candidate receives the minimum 270 electoral votes needed to win the election, the United States House of Representatives will select the president from the three candidates who received the most electoral votes, and the United States Senate will select the vice president from the candidates who received the two highest totals. The presidential election occurred simultaneously alongside elections for the House of Representatives, Senate, and various state and local-level elections.
