DECEMBER 15, 2020:

The Supreme Court has declined to hear Senator Warren's request to split Wisconsin's electors due to the razor-thin margin of the state, saying that there is no legal precedent for doing so.  Justices Sotomayor and Kagan, both appointees of President Obama, were the only dissenters.  Therefore, both Walker and Warren have 269 pledged electors at the Electoral College, which will take place this afternoon.  Assuming that there is not a faithless elector, this election will go to Republican-controlled Congress.

3:30 PM:
There was not a faithless elector, so the House of Representatives will vote on the President on January 4th, the first day of the 117th Congress.  Each state's delegation gets one vote.  On Tuesday the 5th, the Senate will vote for Vice President.  We expect President Walker and Vice President Martinez to both win re-election.

DECEMBER 31, 2020 11:45 PM:

We are sorry to interrupt your New Year's celebration, but we have major news in the ongoing Presidential election.  Vice President Martinez just issued a press release saying that the results of the election, combined with the last four years, have caused her to reconsider her role in the country.  She is highly disappointed with the extremely Conservative Walker administration.  She says that the President says that he acknowledges that he needs to become less polarizing, but she does not see any actions to suggest that he is sincere.  The Vice President will still stand for re-election in the Senate on Tuesday, but she will step down right after her Inauguration.  There is some thought, however, that some moderates in the Senate could now favor Governor Cuomo for Senate, rather than an unknown quantity.  The Republicans hold a 57-42-1 majority in the upper chamber.

It appears that the Vice President wanted to sneak this news in when it would be overshadowed by New Year's, but that seems to have failed on her.  It is now 11 minutes to 2021 and we take you back to Times Square with plenty of time to watch the ball drop!

JANUARY 1, 2021:

At midnight, Puerto Rico was set to officially become the 51st state of the United States.  However, late last night, the Supreme Court issued a stay to its statehood in a unanimous result to give the island time to do a thorough recount.  Critics say that this decision is inconsistent with the decision to deny Senator Warren's challenge to the Wisconsin votes.  On the other hand, others argue that, unlike what Senator Warren wanted, this is not changing the result of any election, but just giving time to be sure that the reported result is correct.  Should it become a state, its two senators and six House members will be elected this summer in a special election.

JANUARY 4, 2021:
As expected, the House of Representatives has re-elected President Walker.  Senator Warren has conceded, but refused to wish the President the best.  She hopes that a strong liberal will replace Mr. Walker in four years and has called on him to pick a moderate or even liberal Vice President should Susana Martinez resign.  Some on the left have called for a return of a more socially moderate Democratic Party, as, with gay marriage five years in the rearview mirror, Democrats have struggled to convince voters that their views are right.  They point to the impending abortion ban as evidence of a need to become more socially Conservative.  Others have begun to faintly call for a divorce between the red and the blue states.

JANUARY 5, 2021:
With the Vice Presidential slot unclear, the vote went down completely on partisan lines, with all 57 Republican Senators voting for Vice President Martinez, who plans to retire shortly after inauguration, despite a lack of knowledge as to who will be her replacement.  All 41 Democrats voted for Governor Cuomo, but could only convince Independent Senator King to join them.  Senator Manchin abstained, completely dissatisfied with both parties.

The Vice President still maintains that she will step down on the 20th.

I have not forgotten about this!

JANUARY 21, 2021:

Vice President Martinez officially stepped down from her role this morning, one day after being inaugurated for a second term.  At the same time, she declared her candidacy for the 2024 election to replace term-limited President Walker.  At this time, FOX News is able to exclusively confirm that President Walker has nominated Senator and former Governor Bill Haslam of Tennessee to be the Vice President.  Haslam does not pretend to be anything other than a conservative, but he is to President Walker's left, meaning that maybe the President does want to have his second term move to the center a bit.  Reports are that Senator Ted Cruz was also lobbying for the nomination.  With a strongly Republican Senate, we expect Senator Haslam to be easily confirmed as Vice President.

(Note: Bill Haslam and Bob Corker switched roles in 2018)

2021 and 2022:

The first half of President Walker's second term was fairly calm and prosperous.  The economy continued to be very healthy and having a strong military seemed to mean peace throughout the world.  In January of 2022, the Congress and Presidency passed a completely balanced budget for the first time in recent memory, with the stipulation that there will be a surplus going forward to begin repaying debts.  With the abortion and gay marriage fights now both in the past, there continued to be strongly different values within America, but there was little controversial legislation to pass for the time being.  A few independent-minded states continued to legalize marijuana, and Colorado passed a resolution to put the legalization of cocaine on the ballot for 2022, but that was about it.  A national First Amendment Defense Act was passed after years of fighting about who had to accept and be involved with gay marriages.

The USA Freedom Act was updated in a way to make it read a bit more like the Patriot Act did in the past, upsetting some Libertarians.  However, it seemed like President Walker and Vice President Haslam responded to the close 2020 election by having a very successful, but rather uncontroversial couple of years.  Puerto Rico decided to have another referendum in 2022.  But, with the economy doing well even there, people do not seem that motivated for change, and a substantial independence faction has grown.

The President's approval rating stands at 61%, compared to 33% who disapprove in this prosperous period.  Congress has its highest approval rating in decades, break-even at 48% approving and 48% disapproving.  Three-in-four Americans believe we are heading down the right track.

Pundits expect the midterms to be a bloodbath for Democrats due to the popular president and a consistent inability for Democrats to get a strong turnout in midterm elections.  Republicans are targeting the open seat in Colorado, heavily, but the map is not favorable for them, virtually maxed-out after waves in 2010 and 2016.  Democrats are targeting Senators Johnson and Kirk, but neither race appears promising.

Let's fast forward to that critical year that has been hanging over this timeline:

2024- President Walker is very popular by the end of his second term, and Vice President Haslam easily defeats Congressman Castro after a tough GOP Primary between Haslam, Martinez, and Cruz.  Haslam picks Governor Rubio as VP.



Haslam comes within 0.1% of winning California and within 7% of running the table (Rhode Island is his weakest state).  He wins a whopping 81% in Oklahoma and 84% in his home state of Tennessee.  The popular vote is 65%-34%.

Post-2026 Congress:
Senate- GOP 58, DEM 42 (Majority Leader: Ted Cruz)
House- GOP 260, DEM 175 (Speaker: Paul Ryan)

July, 2027 Supreme Court: Radically conservative, with 8 far-right Justices joining Sonia Sotomayor.

October, 2027 Approval Ratings:
Pres. Haslam: 71/19
Congress: 50/38
Supreme Court: 43/46

Post-2017 Governors:


2028 Polling (President Haslam vs. NM Senator Castro):


Haslam campaign staff is pouring money into Vermont and DC to try to go for the 538 sweep, while the national media is declaring the Democratic Party dead and looking at a viable replacement party.

NOTE: No events that happened after July, 2015 in real life factor into this timeline

Also: Joaquin Castro is the Castro brother referred to as the NM Senator in the above polling.

DECEMBER 13, 2027:

DNC Chair Julian Castro Announces that the Democratic Party is Folding:

"We have realized that, after losses and losses, the Democratic Party brand is toxic to all but the most progressive members of our society.  Former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz recognizes the terrible job she did leading the DNC in the 2010s, allowing for the Walker Presidency to take place in the first place.  We still feel that former Senator Warren won Wisconsin in 2020, and, had she been credited with that win, our Party would be alive and well today.  In President Walker's second term and during the administration of President Haslam, Americans made it clear that the "silent majority" Republicans long talked about really does exist.  However, there still remains an appetite for some common sense policy that is not the radical conservatism of the Haslam administration.  It has become apparent that even our best candidate would struggle to even win Washington DC against the President.

Today, I announce something very bittersweet.  The executive committee of the Democratic Party met just after Thanksgiving and unanimously voted to retire the Democratic Party.  We were the oldest political institution in the United States, so we do not take that decision lightly.  But, it has to be done to prevent the Republicans from having free reign to pass every part of their radical right-wing agenda.  I am joining the newly formed American Family Labor Party.  Our internal polling shows that we need to return to our roots.  We need to be competitive in the South for the first time this millennium.  Some changes to the platform are necessary today.  For example, Americans broadly accept that life begins at conception, so we need to respect the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.  I have always been pro-life, but I needed to hide it out of respect for my Party's platform, and with changes like this one, the American Family Labor Party can defeat President Haslam in November!"

Republicans instantly claim that the new American Family Labor Party (AFLP)is just the Democratic Party wearing a disguise.  Meanwhile, some outsider Republicans, previously mostly content with the leadership of President Haslam, look towards the demise of the Democratic Party (and the subsequent rebirth), and wish that they could get the same.  And, so, a mere four weeks before the Iowa Caucuses in early 2028, Senator Mike Lee of Utah announces a primary challenge to the President.

On the other side of the aisle, members of the AFLP are excited about Chairman Castro's announcement, and they enthusiastically get behind him for President.  Due to the newness of the Party, Julian Castro announces in late January that they will not have time to have primary elections and that he will accept the nomination.  However, this causes major backlash from the dwindled, but still present far-left progressive movement.  Activist Cecile Richards forms the Progressive Party, and declares her candidacy for President.

Ultimately, President Haslam narrowly defeats Senator Lee in the Primary, and Senator Lee concedes the race and endorses President Haslam on the convention floor in Burlington, Vermont (as the GOP is targeting Vermont, hoping for the 538-0 sweep).  Mrs. Richards chooses actress and liberal activist Lena Dunham as her running mate, while Chairman Castro chooses Governor John Bel Edwards of Louisiana, who served as a Republican in Louisiana, after being elected in 2023 and re-elected in 2027.  Following Mr. Castro's creation of the AFLP, Gov. Edwards, a Democrat-turned-Republican, joined it.

Polling for President of the United States:

Bill Haslam/Marco Rubio: 66%
Julian Castro/John Bel Edwards: 20%
Cecile Richards/Lena Dunham: 10%

SEPTEMBER 2, 2028:

Ron Reagan, 70, the very liberal son of President Ronald Reagan, places a phone call to Mrs. Richards:

RICHARDS: Hello Mr. Reagan, I heard you wanted to speak with me.

REAGAN: I have a plan for you to win this race.

RICHARDS: Tell me about it.  I'm way behind in the polls, stuck in third place.  This is pretty much a protest campaign against our two anti-choice, anti-woman parties.

REAGAN: You can win, and here is how.  My full name is Ronald Reagan.

RICHARDS: Go on...

REAGAN: I'm technically not a Junior because I have a different middle name than my father did, but I can get that changed pretty easily.

RICHARDS: OK, and what is your master plan?

REAGAN: I want to lead the ticket of the Progressive Party.

RICHARDS: No, I am the one running for President.  Why would I have any interest in that?

REAGAN: You will be the President.  I have no interest in actually being President.  You will be the running mate on my ticket, and I will resign immediately after my inauguration.

RICHARDS: But, how will having you on the top of the ticket make me win?

REAGAN: Because I will be on the ballot as Ronald Reagan Jr.!  That will trick a ton of conservatives who blindly worship my father to vote for me!

RICHARDS: How do I know that you are not really a Republican plant trying to destroy the progressive movement?

REAGAN: Look at my record!  I have served for two decades on the board of the Freedom From Religion Foundation.  I am a real progressive, but I will resign and let you lead us into a social Democratic paradise.

RICHARDS: Sounds like a plan!


The Progressive Party is able to change their ticket from Richards/Dunham to Reagan/Richards the following day.

First Poll Conducted Featuring Ron Reagan:

Pres. Bill Haslam: 38%
Ronald Reagan, Jr.: 36%
Chairman Julian Castro: 21%

2 Way Race:
Bill Haslam: 67%
Julian Castro: 29%

The Republicans have yet to really begin to attack Ron Reagan, as they never suspected that they had anything to worry about in 2028.  Of course, the details of his conversation with Cecile Richards are unknown to the public.  The Reagan campaign has decided to fully embrace the plan of tricking conservatives into voting for him.  His first ad:

"Hi, I am Ronald Reagan Jr., and I am running for President on the Progressive Party ticket.  My father admirably served this country in the 1980s, and he contributed to progress and prosperity in American society.  I am proud to be a member of the Progressive Party because I want to create the same progress for America that my father did, but just in a modern era.  I'm Ronald Reagan, and I approve this message."

The Castro campaign, meanwhile, remains confident that they can win the election.  Their focus has turned to the debates, where they feel that they can differentiate themselves from Bill Haslam.  They think that Reagan will be exposed, and that will make it the two-man race they think they can win.  Additionally, campaign managers are discussing an increased role for John Bel Edwards in the campaign, since he has very high favorability ratings.

President Haslam makes no changes to his campaign adjustments and continues to campaign in Vermont and Washington DC to go for the 538-0 sweep.

OCTOBER 1, 2028:

DEVESTATING BLOW FOR THE CASTRO CAMPAIGN

Chairman Castro has hoped to be the one to reignite a latent progressive or populist movement.  However, his campaign and the newly formed American Family Labor Party were dealt major blows today, as his polling average has fallen below 15%, meaning that he will not be invited to the first debate next week.  Only the President, Bill Haslam, and the Progressive Party's candidate, Ronald Reagan Jr., will be debating.

Haslam: 40%
Castro: 11%

Two-way races:
Reagan 51, Haslam 46
Reagan 57, Castro 39
Haslam 68, Castro 27

Self-described pro-life voters (67%):
Haslam: 50%
Reagan: 40%
Castro: 7%

Self-described pro-choice voters (33%):
Reagan: 61%
Haslam: 20%
Castro: 18%

Very conservative voters (25%):
Reagan: 49%
Haslam: 48%
Castro: 1%

The debate between President Haslam and Mr. Reagan is scheduled to take place on Thursday, October 5.  In the days leading up to the debate, the Reagan campaign puts out a bunch of ads that never mention policy, instead just showing vague and optimistic speeches and ads from his father.  He even replays the Morning in America ad without making a single change to the ad itself.  On October 3rd, former President Barack Obama calls the Reagan campaign:

OBAMA: Mr. Reagan, I think you're going to win this race.
REAGAN: Thanks, Mr. President!
OBAMA: I would like to endorse you.  When would be the most effective time for me to do that?
REAGAN: With all due respect, Mr. President, I do not think your endorsement would help my campaign.
OBAMA: Are you an idiot, Ronny?  You are trying to be the face of the resurgence of liberalism in America, and you don't want the endorsement of the last liberal president?
REAGAN: Unfortunately, there is no resurgence of liberalism.  I'm just leading in the polls because I'm tricking the American people into voting for me.  A new poll shows that 60% of people think I'm the most conservative candidate in this race.  (Insert evil laughter)
OBAMA: Wait, you're not, are you?
REAGAN: No way, Jose!
OBAMA: Let me be clear: There is some evidence of a liberal resurgence.  You really don't want my endorsement???
REAGAN: No, I'm so sorry.  I can't let the public know I'm a socialist.  But, I would love it if you would do some behind-the-scenes work for me in progressive circles.
OBAMA: Forget it, dummy!!  I'll just go endorse Castro.  You missed your opportunity. (Insert Obama cursing at Reagan)

When Cecile Richards hears about the endorsement gone wrong, she becomes angry with Ron Reagan.  She believes that the only way to win this election is to be true to the liberal agenda.  Reagan reassures her that he is a liberal and that he will step down after his inauguration.

Meanwhile, President Haslam is noticing things moving against him.  He is getting so worried that he sets up a campaign event in Massachusetts in addition to the ones planned in DC and Vermont.  He still tells the public that he is confident that he will be reelected with the support of every state and territory.

National poll right before the debate:
Reagan: 62%
Haslam: 16%
A "true progressive": 12%
Castro: 8%
Other: 2%

Amongst very conservative voters:
Reagan: 79%
Haslam: 20%
Other: 1%

Who is the most conservative candidate?
Reagan: 77%
Haslam: 21%

DEBATE BETWEEN PRESIDENT BILL HASLAM AND ACTIVIST RON REAGAN:

Cecile Richards is in panic mode after listening to the debate.  Reagan finally broke his silence on actual political issues.  But, he actually presented himself to the right of President Haslam on most key issues.  Reagan, a noted Atheist, made seven references towards his Christian values during the course of the debate.  Haslam tried to make points out of past extremely liberal positions that Reagan had taken.  Reagan was able to brush those off by saying that he had simply changed his mind once he had a "conservative awakening" during President Walker's second term.

Richards now suspects that she has been the one who was fooled by Reagan.  She confronts Reagan threatening to resign and expose Reagan's lies to the American people.  Reagan reassures her that he is a liberal and that he will not actually serve as President.  Initially, Richards seems comforted.  However, Reagan then tells her to not participate in the Vice Presidential debate, because the American people won't want an unapologetically Planned Parenthood-loving liberal as their Vice President.  He tells her that he wants her to simply film a commercial explaining her conversion to being a pro-life conservative.  She refuses and tells him that he has one week to fix this campaign, or she will spill the beans on everything.

Meanwhile, Haslam and Castro are in full panic mode, worried that their campaigns are over.  Haslam himself is confused about the Reagan campaign and is starting to wonder if Mr. Reagan is sincere.  He decides that his best strategy is to take a page out of how President Walker took down Donald Trump in 2016- through noting that he isn't really a conservative and finally getting him to confess to that fact.

Who won the debate:
Reagan: 85%
Haslam: 12%

Who will you vote for:
Reagan 80%
A true progressive: 10%
Haslam: 6%
Castro: 3%

Haslam runs some advertisements on the success of his Presidency and begins a national campaign (giving up the 538-0 dream!!).  These don't make him the frontrunner again, but they do help him enough to easily qualify for the second debate (the VP debate).

Polling (October 11, 2028):
Reagan/Richards: 62%
Haslam/Rubio: 30%

The Castro campaign has fallen off and is barely registering in national surveys.  Their fundraising has dried up almost completely, but the American Family Labor Party does look like it can make some gains in downballot races.  President Haslam is excited to have the opportunity of having the energetic and conservative Vice President Marco Rubio debate Cecile Richards, who he is confident is still a liberal.  Meanwhile, Reagan and Richards are fighting backstage before the debate about what strategy to take.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN MARCO RUBIO AND CECILE RICHARDS, OCTOBER 11:

Ultimately, Cecile Richards stays true to her viewpoint as a far-left liberal.  Her main focus is overturning the Supreme Court decision that made abortion illegal in all 50 states.  Vice President Rubio notes the inconsistencies between what she is saying and what Reagan has said.  Richards is tempted to spill the beans on the Reagan campaign, but Rubio interrupts her right before she would have done so.  This is unfortunate for him and the President, because her statements on Ron Reagan would have likely doomed his campaign.  Rubio also focuses on the positive, conservative direction that the country has moved in under Presidents Walker and Rubio.  He contrasts that to the divisiveness of the Obama years.  The American public thinks that Rubio easily outdebated Richards, but they are mainly confused about what the Reagan/Richards ticket stands for.

Polling average, October 14:
Haslam/Rubio: 44%
Reagan/Richards: 38%
Many undecided

It's also tough to tell what the swing states are in this rapidly changing election, but there are indications that it might not break on traditional partisan lines, since the race is close both with Republicans and with voters who were in the late Democratic Party.

October 15, 2028:

JULIAN CASTRO SUSPENDS CAMPAIGN, ENDORSES BILL HASLAM:

The American people have spoken.  While I feel that I would be an excellent President and while I am proud to lead the American Family Labor Party, I will not be inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States in January.  The AFLP's message, however, is alive and well, and we are looking to make gains in Congress and state legislatures across the country.

I will be supporting and encouraging my supporters to back President Haslam for reelection.  This country is as prosperous now as it has ever been, and, while I have some significant differences with the President, he has been a great leader for this country.  On the other hand, Mr. Reagan is a madman.  I'm not sure whether he is on the far right, the far left, or somehow both, but Americans deserve better.  We deserve to know what our next President will stand for!  Please end this soap opera and vote for President Haslam and Vice President Rubio on November 7th!!!


Polls three days after Julian Castro's endorsement:
Haslam/Rubio: 71%
Reagan/Richards: 24%

UP NEXT: The Haslam campaign's renewed focus on 538 and the Reagan campaign's Hail Mary

About to continue this, but are there any guesses about how this election and immediate aftermath turns out?

Final Weeks of the Campaign:

The Haslam campaign maintains a roughly 20-point national lead.  As expectations are that there will not be the typical regional polarization in this confusing election, President Haslam campaigns predominantly in Washington, DC and Vermont, trying to win every electoral vote on the map.  People continue to be confused about what the other ticket stands for, as Reagan claims to be a conservative, but the Haslam campaign and Cecile Richards both publicly claim that he is a liberal.  Reagan's and Richards's relationship grows more and more hostile by the day.  This is how things go until Sunday night, November 5, 2028:

RON REAGAN'S SPEECH TO THE NATION AT A CAMPAIGN EVENT IN TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA:

(National polls going in: Haslam- 57%, Reagan- 40%, with much of the South minus Tennessee and border South states looking like it could have close to an even PVI or only be slightly Republican-leaning)

Never has there been this large of a crowd before!!!  My incredible supporters have packed an all-time record 102,000 people into Bryant-Denny-Saban Stadium!!  I am the most conservative candidate who has ever run for this highest office in the land- more conservative than both my father and President Walker- and I am certainly more conservative than my RINO opponent!!  My running mate, on the other hand, is a baby-murdering liberal.  She opposes the heroic Supreme Court decision in Planned Parenthood v. Walker and also thinks it was a mistake to overturn Obergefell this past June!!  She is a radical leftist in bed with the homosexual agenda and social deviance.  That is why I today endorse Vice President Rubio for re-election.  I encourage my electors to support his being the Vice President.  He is far better than the commie swine Cecile Richards who has personally aborted millions of babies with her bare hands!!  We must keep our country out of the hands of crazies like her!!  REAGAN/RUBIO '28!!!

How do I make an electoral map with post-2020 EVs?

Go into the URL and change the number corresponding to the state's EV count.

Thanks!

NOVEMBER 7, 2028- ELECTION NIGHT

Welcome to FOX News's coverage of Election Night 2028!  Just 48 hours ago, it appeared that President Haslam had finally put away his challenger Ron Reagan.  However, an ultra-conservative speech in Alabama from Mr. Reagan has made this race close again.  The only polls conducted entirely since that speech are within the margin of error.  What the battlegrounds are may also be a little unclear tonight, as it is tough to tell whether the recent 15-20 point swing for Reagan is nationwide or pretty much concentrated as a huge swing in the South and little elsewhere.  But, let's get started by taking a look at the electoral map for tonight:



We are not really sure what to expect tonight, but we have our first poll closings, and we can only project one of the five states at this time:

Virginia: Projected for President Haslam
Virginia has been a swing state in recent elections, but it really is the ultimate insider state.  The Washington suburbs have grown exponentially in recent years, stretching all the way to Richmond, so it is little surprise that the president will easily carry Virginia.

West Virginia: Too Close to Call
Exit polls are showing an extremely close race in West Virginia, and it seems like Reagan's last-minute push for Southern whites is going to make it a really long night in West Virginia.

South Carolina: Too Close to Call
Much of the same trends present in West Virginia are also in play in the Palmetto State.  One big difference is that there appears to be a major class divide with wealthy South Carolinians overwhelmingly backing Haslam.  He should dominate the suburbs of Charleston and Columbia, along with the Myrtle Beach area, while Reagan will have to run up the score in the far Upstate to have a chance tonight.

Kentucky: Too Early to Call
Reagan is clearly dominating Eastern Kentuckian coal country, but Haslam is running very strong with wealthy Southern whites in the Lexington metro area.  Urban Louisville looks like it is narrowly going for Reagan, but Haslam is doing very well in the suburbs.  Western Kentucky and counties along the border with Tennessee, the President's home state, are going strongly for Haslam as well.  President Haslam is favored here, but we are not ready to call it yet.

Vermont: Too Early to Call
There is a massive third party vote in Vermont for the Green Party nominee.  He may reach double digits here.  Many liberal voters do not seem to trust Ron Reagan right now, thinking he is actually a conservative who converted from liberalism some time ago.  President Haslam also campaigned here extensively before the recent speech, when he felt that he had a chance at a 538-0 sweep.  We expect that campagining to actually make Vermont's 3 electoral votes go Republican for the first time in ages, but we're not ready to call it just yet.



President Bill Haslam: 14
Ron Reagan: 0

Is there a way I can change it on the EVC so that I don't have to go in each time and so that I can have the votes automatically added up?
