2040 US Elections (SylveticHearts)

The 2040 United States Election was held on November 6th, 2040. The running candidates were incumbent Democratic president Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Republican running candidate Richard Blocker. It ended in a completely unexpected landslide victory for Richard Blocker, electing him as 49th president of the United States of America from 2040 - 2048.

Richard Blocker was elected after Democratic control of the House, Senate, and Congress had ensued since the 2020 election in every election for a solid twenty years, and with the country on the brink of another civil war and heavy influence in western states by the People's Republic of China, he stated "It's time for us to get to work."

The United States announced it would be severing over 75% of it's production ties with China in Febuary of 2041, which led to the Second Cold War, and later World War III after the United States of America was invaded by the People's Republic of China following an incident with a cargo ship being taken hostage, leading to a battle between the US Navy and Chinese Navy.

With the war raging in 2044, Richard Blocker was re-elected after winning against Democratic nominee Adrian Jones. The war also concluded in 2045, with the ROC taking back control of the mainland for the first time since it's loss in 1949.

The United States during the last three years of Blocker's presidency experienced a golden age in it's growth, and also conducted successful colonization of Jupiter's smallest moon: Europa.

Richard Blocker went down as one of the most influential figures in US history, most notably for taking out communist China, and refusing to surrender to the communist regime established in the western states until mid 2042.
