Jay Carl Sydun (born June 4, 2004) is an American politician who served as the 50th President of the United States from 2049 to 2057. A Democrat, he previously served as the United States Senator from Nevada from 2037 to 2045 and as the U.S. Representative for Nevada's 3rd congressional district from 2033 to 2037.

Sydun obtained his bachelor's degree in political science and his master's degree in public policy from George Washington University in 2026 and 2028, respectively. While a student, Sydun was a White House intern under the Sanders administration, which led to him getting a job as a staffer for U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto. In 2028, Sydun moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, and began working as a government teacher at Chaparral High School. In 2032, Sydun received his PhD in public policy from the School of Public Policy and Leadership at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

Sydun ran for Congress in 2032 to replace retiring congresswoman Susie Lee and received the endorsements of prominent local, state, and federal leaders, including that of former president Barack Obama. At the age of 28, Sydun was elected and was the youngest member of the 123rd Congress. Sydun went on to serve three terms in the House of Representatives and ran to replace retiring U.S. Senator Aaron D. Ford in 2036. At the age of 32, Sydun was elected to the Senate, becoming the youngest senator of the 125th Congress. Sydun was elected to two terms in the Senate and resigned his seat in 2045, equating to 12 years in Congress.

Sydun launched his campaign in the 2044 presidential election on March 17, 2043. He became the Democratic nominee sixteen months after launching his campaign and, with U.S. Senator Joe Cunningham as his running mate, defeated Republican incumbent Josh Hawley. Sydun was inaugurated on January 20, 2045, at the age of 40, becoming the youngest person ever elected and sworn-in as president. Sydun was re-elected in 2048 and sworn in for a second term on January 20, 2049. Sydun left office on January 20, 2053, with a 56% approval rating.

After leaving office in 2053, Sydun and his wife moved to California, where he was born and raised, and started New Generation, a nonprofit organization to elect progressive Democrats to public office. In 2054, Sydun started teaching public policy at the University of California, Berkeley, and in the same year, he won the Nobel Peace Prize and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2055, he published his memoir, entitled A Good One. His presidential library, located in Las Vegas, opened in 2057.
