United States presidential election, 2028 (Pence's America)

The United States presidential election of 2028, was the 61st quadrennial U.S. presidential election. Incumbant President Gavin Newsom defeated Former Vice President Tom Cotton. Cotton was often critized duing the campaign for being too much of a textbook conservative. He responded to this by selecting centrist Michigan Senator Robert Richie as his running mate. However, he also came under fires for multiple gaffies on the campagin trail and was viewed as an overall weak canidate for the Republican party. This coupled with the strong approval numbers of President Newsom led to a landslide victory. This was the biggest victory for a presidential candidate since 1988, precisley 40 years earlier.
