2024 Presidential Election (Brenden's Universe)

Overview
The 2024 election was pretty chaotic. The Saudi-Iran war was in full swing, the economy was still bust thanks to the Covid-19 crisis that the Trump administration had mishandled, and everyone was sick of Republicans.

Republican Primaries
The Republican Primary were terrible. Republicans were one bad incident from losing the very little they had left. Jeb Bush sore past everyone else as they were searching for someone who could hold their own. In the end, they chose Nikki Haley, believing that her being a woman would carry the progressive vote. It didn't. It very much did not.

Romney attempted to run, but was ousted by his fellow Republicans for standing up to Trump. Romney officially broke off from the Republican party after this and began advocating for an end to the two-party system.

Democrat Primaries
The Democratic Primary was filled with determined democrats. In the end, without Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders (Sanders too old Biden dead) Kamala Harris rose to the forefront after he unsuccessful bid as Biden's vice president.

The Democrats began a new platform of welcoming disheartened Republicans into their party by do away with more of their extremist ideas and bringing forth compromises.

The Economy
The economy was in a horrible state. Many were homeless and unemployed thanks to the Trump Administrations horrible handling of the Covid-19 crisis. Small business were closing every month, and wages were decreasing. Many wanted and needed change.

American Occupation of Venezuela
The United States had staged a civil war in Venezuela under the orders of President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Then, the U.S. invaded the nation to 'stabilize' it and then occupied it for rebuilding. However, President Trump showed no interest in releasing Venezuela, instead the U.S. was bleeding Venezuela dry of its oil supplies to sell and rebuild the U.S. economy.

That didn't work because no one wanted to buy stolen oil. Instead, it was added to federal stockpile. Nikki Haley vowed to stop taking oil from Venezuela, but showed no interest in releasing the country or returning its oil. Kamala Harris on the other hand promised to release Venezuela and return its oil.
