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.
