2028: Pres. Ted Cruz (R-TX) v. Rep. Linda Sarsour (D-NY)

[Medal506]

At around the same time Alexandria Ocasio Cortez lost the presidential election to Ted Cruz in 2024, Linda Sarsour successfully replaced Ocasio Cortez as the representative of the 14th district of New York. 4 years later Congresswoman Linda Sarsour decided to run for President and manage to win the nomination against former California Governor Gavin Newsom and former Colorado Governor Jared Polis. Sarsour like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar is extremely controversial and has even been censured in the Republican controlled House of Representatives for alleged anti Semitic comments about the "Zionist media" conspiring to support Israel. Ted Cruz has held an approval rating ranging between 47 percent and 51 percent. Cruz's highest approval rating was at 58 percent on the day he was inaugurated. Cruz's lowest approval rating was around 40 percent after his first 100 days of being President. Sarsour runs on the issues of Israel-Palestine and single payer healthcare. She attacks Cruz for being too supportive of Israel and capitalism and for not being compassionate enough on the issue of immigration. Sarsour revives the endorsements from both David Duke and Louis Farrakhan. However she denounces both endorsements.

Who wins and what does the map look like?

Here are the past Senate and Presidential elections. The house went back to Republican in 2024 due to the effect the presidential ticket had on the down ballot but the Democrats won back the house in 2026 due to the Republican control of the White House

Who wins and what does the map look like?

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

Cruz wins reelection, but it would be fairly close due to demographics getting worse and worse for Republicans by the day.

I can also tell you that if this somehow did happen (which it absolutely won't btw) the Republican Party would be in the wilderness for quite some time after holding the White House for 16 years.


In 2032, the Democratic nominee would win in a massive landslide.

I don't think many moderate democrats would support radical left wing candidates like Sanders, Cortez, Tlaib, Omar and Sarsour.
