Still, you'd likely be sacrificing New York's EVs (a similar point I made with Kassebaum in Mohamed's list).
Since this is an alternate timeline, it’s possible that Roosevelt holds office in a different state or that the voting system has been changed so that electors can vote for both candidates.

After being refused, the troops enter the White House and shoot Polk. All other staff are shot or taken prisoner.

Oof the old government
Following shocking revelations of many politicians bargaining for Russian support, the old party system breaks down, many are ousted, and a parliamentary system is put in place.

2035 Election:
Progressive Future: 225
National Unity: 76
Christian Democrats USA: 189
Facts and Logic: 10
Prime Minister: Lee Carter (PF-VA)
Deputy Prime Minister: Joe Cunningham (NU-SC) until the 2036 conflict, in which Cunningham breaks with Carter on several key economic platforms. Carter then controversially replaces him with John Bel Edwards (CDU-LA).
Opposition Leader: John Bel Edwards (CDU-LA) until the 2036 conflict, then Joe Cunningham (NU-SC)
2039 Election:
Progressive Future: 86
National Unity: 163
Christian Democrats USA: 232

Prime Minister: John Bel Edwards (CDU-LA)
Deputy Prime Minister: Dan Crenshaw (FaL-TX)

Christian Democrats USA: 232
Facts And Logic: 29
Prime Minister: John Bel Edwards (CDU-LA)

In 2046, the Christian Democrats USA including Prime Minister Edwards are found guilty of receiving illegal funds and support from Angela Merkel and her allies in the German CDU. Chief Justice Merrick Garland declares the 2043 election void and a snap election is held.

2046 Snap Election:

Facts and Logic: 2
Prime Minister: Abigail Spanberger (NU-VA)
Deputy Prime Minister: Carlos Curbelo (NU-FL)
Opposition Leader: Rashida Tlaib (PF-MI)

Early Socialist Regime
In 1880, the increasingly popular Albert Parsons (Socialist Labor) is elected the 20th president of the United States. His socialist backers enact a large government and economic reform, including the division of powers between the President (left) and Chancellor (right) elected by congress. The President is limited to one term at a time but the Chancellor can continue to be elected for unlimited terms. Congress would be elected every 4 years during the midterm of the Presidency.

20. Albert Parsons
(1881-1885)
Philip Van Patten
(1883-1885)
The Socialist Labor government begins passing more authoritarian measures to cement their power. Parsons ends up passing these measures under great pressure but his  reluctance still causes the party to depose him and his chosen successor, Eugene Debs.
21. Philip Van Patten
(1885-1889)
George W. Howard
(1885-1887)
James B. Weaver
(1887-1891)
Van Patten takes the presidency but his circle is shaken after their successor Chancellor, George W. Howard is replaced by the moderate Weaver in the midterm. Chancellor Weaver exerts his power to force the party to allow multiple member to stand for the presidency.
22. Albert Parsons
(1889-1893)
Parsons and Weaver promise to begin restoring liberty to the US but are limited by the power that Van Patten's circle still holds. They allow a limited multi-party system, with the SLP splitting into the Marxist Party, Labor Party (Socialist, Soft Authoritarian), Social Democrats, and National Socialists. The 4 parties are bound the the Worker's Coalition however, essentially ensuring that Labor will hold the presidency. The Republican Party is also allowed to return in limited capacity by espousing "Socialist Liberalism", which is really Social Liberalism.
James B. Weaver
SD-LP-MP-NS
(1891-1895)
23. George W. Howard
(1893-1897)
Thomas E. Watson
LP-MP
(1895-1899)
24. Charles H. Matchett
(1897-1901)
Thomas E. Watson
LP-SD
(1899-1903)
The Social Democrats provide the only viable coalition and force Watson to bring forward reforms for political liberalization. Matchett of course vetoes as party insiders planned but surprisingly a coalition in congress arises to overturn it and Watson allows this to prevent a VoNC. Citizens now have far greater political freedom than before in the regime. The Liberty Coalition (Libertarianism, Liberal Conservatism) is founded and becomes allies with the reinvigorated Republicans. The Social Democrats also see a brief surge in support.
25. Joseph F. Malloney
(1901-1905)
Eugene Debs
SD-LP-MP
(1903-1907)
26. William Jennings Bryan
(1905-1909)
The Social Democrats once again shake the nation by abandoning the Worker's Coalition Entirely and backing Republican Theodore Roosevelt as chancellor. Labor no longer holds the power to stop this and the 2 dissenting parties along with the Liberty Coalition form the Democratic Restoration Alliance to end the regime once and for all.
Theodore Roosevelt
RP-SD-LC
(1907-1911)
27. William Howard Taft
(1909-1913)
The Taft-Roosevelt government makes more sweeping reforms, to the point where Americans have more freedoms than they did before the regime. The Republicans and Liberty Coalition merge to form the Liberal Party.
Theodore Roosevelt
Lib-SD
(1911-1915)
28. Hiram Johnson
(1913-1917)
Woodrow Wilson
SD-Lib
(1915-1919)
29. Calvin Coolidge
(1917-1921)
Woodrow Wilson, amidst growing disagreements between the Social Democrats and Liberals, turns to the remaining Labor Party for support, ending the DRA.
Woodrow Wilson
SD-Lab
(1919-1923)
30. Robert LaFollette
(1921-1925)
Woodrow Wilson
SD
(1923-1927)
Remaining leftists form the New Democrats and begin attracting many more members due to both major parties taking a shift to the right.
31. Herbert Hoover
(1925-1929)
The Liberals rebrand as the Liberal-Conservatives, embracing the right, while the Social Democrats take on a more centrist platform.
Charles Curtis
LC
(1927-1931)
32. Al Smith
(1929-1933)
With an economic downturn, chaos in the elections ensues as anti-establishment movements grow. Curtis, looking to avoid the New Dems taking power, brashly allies with the long disregarded National Socialists.
Charles Curtis
LC-NS
(1931-1935)
33. Virgil Effinger
(1933-1937)
The National Socialists, now holding the presidency thanks to the chaos, influence the LCs to replace Curtis with Alf Landon, who truly acts as a palatable puppet for the fascist group.
Alf Landon
LC-NS
(1935-1939)
34. William D. Pelley
(1937-1941)
Virgil Effinger
NS
(1939-1943)
35. Franklin D. Roosevelt
(1941-1945)
Wendell Willkie
SD-ND-LC
(1943-1949)
America had another close call with authoritarianism, but ultimately the National Socialists were defeated before permanent damage could be done. This period also devastated the Liberal-Conservatives, who are now relegated to a minor rightist party. The major parties are now the New Democrats (Center-left) and the Social Democrats(Center-right). Liberalism will forever be remembered as an initially well intentioned ideology that brought the world fascism. Meanwhile, "Social Democracy" (now best described as compassionate conservatism) leads the global right. Both the SDP and NDP are expressly anti-communist and anti-fascist, trending towards the center. Roosevelt and Willkie also agree to end the parliamentary system and extend presidential term limits to 2 terms, with Roosevelt being reelected in 1944 and being the undisputed executive leader for the first time since the last century.
