The Reagan Administration was generally uneventful. It began on January 20, 1989, setting out to right the wrongs of President Carter's only full term, which it did successfully. Reagan announced that he would opt to retire instead of seek a second term on June 21, 1991, citing his age. Later that day, Vice President Bush announced that he would run. Later that month, former Vice President Patrick Leahy would announce that he would run for the Democratic nomination. They both won their nominations.
On February 29, 1992, Ross Perot announced he would run an Independent campaign. His main goal was to split the electoral vote to the point that he would rise in the House as a compromise candidate.
On November 3, the world turned upside down.

Former Vice President Patrick Leahy (D-VT) / Governor Bill Clinton (D-AR) - 253
Vice President George Bush (R-TX) / Representative Newt Gingrich (R-GA) - 150
Ross Perot (I-TX) / James Stockdale (I-NY) - 135
With the country in disarray, Perot is inaugurated on January 20, 1993.

Tom Campbell's presidency ended well. VP Bloomberg, age 78, decided not to run. Elizabeth Warren was the favorite throughout the Social Progressive primary, after Bernie Sanders decided not to run. Senator Patrick Murphy of Florida was a front-runner for the Reform nomination. Kirsten Gillibrand won the Dem nomination, and former Senator Marco Rubio, who ran in 2016 but lost the nomination to Huntsman, won the Republican nomination. Kanye West ran as an Independent.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (DM-NY) / Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 211
Senator Patrick Murphy (RF-FL) / Senator Jim Webb (RF-VA) - 146
Kanye West (IN-IL) / Ben Carson (IN-FL) - 66
Senator Marco Rubio (RP-FL) / Governor John Kasich (RP-OH) - 64
Senator Elizabeth Warren (SP-MA) / Senator Jeff Merkley (SP-OR) - 51
When put into Congress, West and Merkley were selected be the House and Senate, respectively.
What had been a system of two parties 25 years ago was now one big, five-party mess.

Could be a mistake, but seeing as the point of divergence is before he was born, he could be from MA in this timeline.

Anyway, my main issue with this timeline was that despite a radically different set of presidential elections, everyone seems to have the same gubernatorial/congressional jobs that they have IOTL. I tried to correct that by making Leahy a Governor.
Well, Msnmllr changed him to be from Maryland, so it's probably the former.
