2020 Presidential Election (Devo1992 World 2)

The 2020 Presidential Election was held on November 3, 2020 between the Republican ticket of President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence and the Democratic Ticket of former Vice-President Joe Biden and US Senator from California Kamala Harris. With the good and improving economy, partisanship in congress, the handling of the COVID-19 crisis, and the impeachment process which passed the house but failed to pass the senate, Trumps chances of being re-elected soared along with his support and approval ratings. The Trump/Pence ticket easily defeated the Biden/Harris ticket 335-203 with Trump winning the popular vote this time.

The main topics of the election were the economy, trade, border security, abortion, partisanship in congress, and criminal justice reform.

Republican primaries:

Since the RNC would not allow former US Representative from Illinois Joe Walsh and former Governor of Massachusetts and 2016 Vice-Presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party Bill Weld to debate against Trump, he easily became the Republican nominee for President.

Democratic Primaries:

After Hillary Clintons loss in 2016, the DNC was viewed as leaderless and out of control. Frontrunners Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden competed against each other for the nominee. Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren were viewed as flip floppers on many things, mainly on universal healthcare. Andrew Yang was viewed as a progressive with many ideas but the media would not give him air time. Tulsi Gabbard had strong support from independents, republicans, libertarians and some democrats but her present vote on impeachment costed her the primary and the media kept smearing her and not giving her enough air time like they did with Bernie and Yang. Amy Klobuchar was seen as weak. Joe Biden ended up receiving the nomination after a close tie with Bernie Sanders and chose US Senator from California Kamala Harris as his running mate.
