[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

The old one hit the magic number. You know what to do.

[OBD]

The 2048 presidential election was the most competitive since 2028, after climate disasters in the early 2030s ushered in 14 years of single-party Democratic rule, only terminated by the Republicans retaking the House in 2046. Both parties attempted to build new coalitions in these elections. The Democratic Party, which had moved significantly to the left due to it's nearly unchallenged dominance of Washington (as the election of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as president in 2040 shows), was based in the urban areas and the ravaged coastal regions on the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. The Republican Party, attempting to rebuild, aimed to build a coalition of disenchanted suburban areas and traditionally conservative regions (i.e inland rurals). The Democrats, looking to build on Ocasio-Cortez's progressive legacy, nominated Illinois Governor Roberta Chang, who had enacted universal healthcare and basic income in Illinois. The Republicans turned to Senator Jaime Hernandez of Arizona, running on a moderate, business-friendly platform. In the first ever election where two women minorities were nominated by the major parties, Chang took an early lead, which was gradually whittled down by Hernandez. On Election Day, Chang led in national polls by 5 points, but Hernandez pulled out the win in a shocking upset, by returning the suburbs and coastal areas to the Republican party. Hernandez won by a narrow popular vote margin of 49.4% to 49%.

In the Senate, Democrats were highly vulnerable, defending 26 seats to the Republican's 7. While the GOP was disappointed in the Midwest, Virginia, and Texas, they won upsets in Ohio, Maine, and New Mexico to tie the Senate and take control.

2018 Senate Elections if Kavanaugh was voted down and there was uncertainty as to whether Trump could get a nominee through before the new Senate was to be sworn in:

[WestVegeta]

Gov. George W. Bush (R-TX)/Fmr. Sen. John Danforth (R-MO): 278 EVs

Vice Pres. Al Gore (D-TN)/Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT): 260 EVs

[morgankingsley]

Wallace gets his peak of 7 percent, and Thurmond does his peak of 3-4 percent and wins the entire deep south

[WestVegeta]

Sen. Kamala Harris (Dem.-CA)/U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (Dem.-WI): 290 EVs

Pres. Donald J. Trump (Rep.-NY)/Vice Pres. Mike Pence (Rep.-IN): 248 EVs

Harris vs O'Rourke vs Biden

Biden wins in this scenario. Result can be changed by switching around 5 key states: Indiana, Nevada, South Carolina, New Mexico, and New York.

[NHI]

Harris: 54.1%

Warren: 41.7%

Other: 4.2%

Trump: 81.9%

Hogan: 14.5%

Other: 3.6%

Trump/Pence: 280 (44.7%)

Harris/O'Rouke: 258 (49.1%)

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Rep. Natasha Salazar (P–N.Y.) / Gov. Napoleon Sandridge (P–Colo.) – 50.8% ✔
Senator Elijah Haefner (S–Mo.) / Gen. Athena Andrade (S–Ariz.) – 48.0%

1896 election, third parties only:

John Palmer/Simon Buckner (B. Dem): 42.57%, 213 EV
Joshua Levering/Hale Johnson (Prohibition): 41.52%, 226 EV*
Charles Matchett/Matthew Maguire (S. Labor): 11.50%, 0 EV
Charles E. Bentley/James H. Southgate (N. Prohibition): 4.41%, 8 EV
Other: 0.05%, 0 EV

*NV and UT did not have any third party votes, but knowing their fanatical hatred of the gold standard, they would not go for Palmer. NC was the tipping point state, going to Levering by 57 votes.  VA is close behind, going to Levering by 221 votes.

How did Anderson do so well

I used the 1988 President Elect game (https://archive.org/details/msdos_President_Elect_-_1988_Edition_1987) to make a 1980 election were Reagan was the incumbent and then I said there would be like 20% inflation, 30% unemployment, with –5% GDP growth and a war less popular than "WWI, in Russia, in 1917" to make sure the third party would win states. I was hoping Anderson or Carter would win outright but I think I made the system glitch, and they all got exactly 1/3 of the vote
