Results
Incumbent President Bernie Sanders won 12 states (all of Maine's electoral votes included) for 138 electoral votes, former Vice President Julian Castro won 15 states for 226 electoral votes, former Vice President Mike Pence won 11 states (all of Nebraska's electoral votes included) for 76 electoral votes, former UN ambassador Nikki Haley won 10 states for 77 electoral votes, entrepreneur Andrew Yang won 6 states for 30 electoral votes, former national security adviser John Bolton won 3 states for 9 electoral votes, and 2016 Green Party Vice-Presidential Nominee Ajamu Baraka won 1 state (Guam)+DC for 6 electoral votes. Since the electoral vote was split and new states were added to the election, the threshold for victory was 281 electoral votes and was not met. This meant that the election went to the House of Representatives to decide.

House of Representatives Decision

Because President Sanders had not made many friends of capital hill during his tenure as president, he was unlikely to to voted the next president. That left the popular establishment Democrat and the old-school Republican. Since the Democratic-Socialists withheld support from any candidate other then Sanders, the final results showed Haley winning the presidency.

Haley: 210

Castro:205

Sanders: 128

Nikki Haley was elected the next President of the United States.
