2040 US Presidential Election

The 2040 Presidential Election was the fourth of the critical elections. The Governor of Michigan, Nicklas W. Zande, challengened Incumbent President, Robert Ritchie (Kid Rock).

The Democratic Primary
The Democratic Primary had many candidates, Kelvin Hawthorne, Ethan Fitzgerald, John Lampros, Ely Loew, Chelsea Clinton, Joshua Huntington, Malia Obama, and Nicklas Zande, all wanting to challenge Kid Rock for the Presidency. Ethan Fitzgerald, Ely Loew, Kelvin Hawthorne, Joshua Huntington, and Chelsea Clinton, were Conservative Democrats, supporting many of the GOP's policies on abortion, trade with the Middle East, and wanting limited Government intervention in the economy. This was exploited by both the Obama campaign, and the Zande campaign, saying that makes them tretiourous scum. That was exploited by the Huntington and Hawthorne campaigns, calling them Communists. But, Zande was able to get enough support from younger Americans to win the Iwoa Caucus, while Huntington was able to win enough support from older Americans to win the New Hampshire Primary. They debated for months and months. But, many people watching the debates thought the better looking Nicklas Zande won the debates, and he went on to become the Democratic Nominee for President. Huntington was very upset, so he decided to run as an Independent. As for Vice President, Zande went with a safe bet in David Jackson, while the Independent candidate Joshua Huntington picked another safe bet in Chelsea Clinton.

The Election
The election cycle was very stressful for Robert Ritchie's reputation, Nicklas Zande was a young charismatic person from his own home state, so he attacked his campaign by calling him young and unqualified for office. Nicklas Zande fought back and said that he won his race for Governor of Michigan twice, while Kid Rock tried to run for Senator but lost to Debbie Stabenow by a landslide in 2018, and yet America chose him as President. Huntington was trying to hard to side with Kid Rock, which cost him all 538 Electoral Votes, speaking of Electoral Votes, Nicklas Zande won a huge landslide in the Electoral College. Robert Ritchie was very emotional in his concession speech, saying this, '''"Those Democrats are just complete jerks! They really destroyed me in my re-election campaign. This is bad for my reputation as a singer! I am very angry at those of you who voted for, that stupid, young, Governor, of my home state. Now, I am under his power, just like I was when he was Governor, and that Mexican drug seller was President! I am officially leaving, America, after I leave office on, January 20, 2041! YOU HERE ME AMERICA?" Nicklas Zande was so excited about his victory over Kid Rock, that he said in his Victory Speech, "This election, is not just a victory for the Democrats, but also, for those, who have no religion. Because of what we did here, in this election, we have accomplished something, for our people!"'''
