It's January 20, 2025. What happened if the previous poster's person is president megathread?

[NewYorkExpress]

Murkowski somehow runs completely unopposed after literally everyone else, including Biden, forgets that there is a Presidential Election in 2024.

Kang (or Kodos).

A nuclear meltdown engulfs Springfield and Kang and Kodos step in to harness energy sources humans previously lacked access to to undo the damage and get major credit.

Arsenio Hall

[NewYorkExpress]

Arsenio Hall hosts a very popular talk show between now and 2023, then runs a populist campaign as an Independent, defeating Donald Trump and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the General Election.

Pete Buttigeig

[Progressive Pessimist]

As Secretary of Transportation, Buttigieg oversees the construction of a nationwide high-speed rail system that revolutionizes travel and garners him massive praise and appreciation by Americans from all backgrounds. After Biden declines to run for re-election, he runs instead and wins the nomination. He then faces a non-Trump GOP nominee and makes the election about infrastructure and transportation which he handily uses to his advantage and wins.

Matthew McConaughey.

[If my soul was made of stone]

Pete is the designated survivor for one of Biden's State of the Union addresses, at which everyone ahead of him in the presidential succession line dies due to poisoned hors d'oeuvres.

Chuck Grassley

[SnowLabrador]

The Republicans take back the Senate in 2022, Grassley is the designated survivor of an event where the rest of the Cabinet is assassinated, and Grassley runs in and wins the election in 2024. Sorry I'm not more creative. Anyway...

Jake Angeli, better known as the "QAnon Shaman"

[User2836]

The GOP officially becomes the GQP

Michael Bay

[Pink Panther]

The Transformers franchise gets praised as masterpieces. Bay then proceeds to create what is objectively considered the greatest movie ever created, in part due to its special effects(💥) Bay runs as a Dem and defeats Harris in the primary. His GOP opponent is Josh Hawley, who is discovered to be a secret Wahabbist. Bay obviously wins and is inaugurated.

      Eugene Krabs

The GOP’s idolization of capitalism reaches a new height, so they decide to nominate a cartoon capitalist, hoping that he will appeal to memers and millennials. Krabs ends up winning because enough people think his nomination is a funny joke and vote for him for the lols.

Lin Wood

Lin Wood

Lin Wood steals the election as 'tit for tat'. He lasts two days in office before the Supreme Court find a way to get rid of him, and whoever the Speaker is becomes President.

Maria Cantwell, but with Dan Sullivan as VP

Maria Cantwell, but with Dan Sullivan as VP

The entire Biden Adminstration is wiped out by an attack. As a unity ticket, Cantwell and Sullivan are chosen for the ticket, and easily wins and is inaugurated.

Dave Bautista(The GOAT)

Repubicans nominate Chris Pratt since he’s a popular “conservative” celebrity, so the Democrats nominate another Guardians of the Galaxy actor, Dave Bautista. Bautista wins easily due to Pratt not being scummy enough for a lot of rural Trump voters.

James Woods

[TheReckoning]

James Wood runs as a Republican, being pretty similar to Trump, and manages to capture his support with the endorsement of Trump. He runs against an unpopular Biden and wins,

You.

[S019]

Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 is struck down by the Supreme Court for some reason, so I can now be the Democratic nominee, I don't know how it happened, but it did. The Republicans nominate MTG, so I have a pretty easy time winning the general and make few controversial statements. If this sounds unrealistic, it's because it is.



Ben Nelson

[butWhyNot?]

Biden dies just before the electoral votes are cast, and Ben Nelson is chosen as his replacement due to Nebraska replacing Iowa as the first contest.

Bob Conley (the Democrat against Lindsey’s Graham in 2008)

[VBM]

Lindsey Graham somehow wins the GOP nomination. Biden dies in 2021 or early 2022, and Harris does a terrible job as president. Conley is the only person to challenge Harris in the primary, and he wins the primary due to her infamy. Conley beats Graham in the general election.

GeneralMacArthur

[butWhyNot?]

He is allowed to have his name appear on the ballot as GeneralMacArthur, and everyone votes for him thinking he is a relative of Douglas MacArthur.

Ron Johnson

[Roll Roons]

Trump picks him as his new running mate to appeal to Wisconsin, but dies of a heart attack in August or September. Johnson wins on the back of the sympathy vote.

Mark Kirk

[butWhyNot?]

He runs as the “electable moderate” as many dems vote for him in the primary to stop the extremists.

Brian Kemp

[JoeInator]

Brian Kemp, seeing that he would lose to a primary challenge, declines to run for re-election and instead runs for the Senate. He narrowly beats Raphael Warnock in a runoff and uses his new national name recognition to run for President as a unifying figure in the Republican party. After Biden fumbles in the debates and Kemp is able to appeal to both moderate and pro-Trump GOP voters, he pulls off a narrow victory.

Olympia Snowe

[butWhyNot?]

Susan Collins runs as the centrist establishment favorite and wins the nomination with a divided field, but suffers a severe heart attack a few months before the election. She requests that a Mainer replace her, and Olympia Snowe is chosen and wins.

Rebecca Kleefisch

[beesley]

Rebecca Kleefisch

Rebecca Kleefisch wins the WI-Gov race in 2022 and is seen as more pro-Trump than expected. After Noem is removed as Trump's running mate after ethics concerns, Kleefisch replaces her. Trump is then convicted of several crimes and Kleefisch becomes the nominee. She somehow wins.

Raphael Warnock

[butWhyNot?]

He runs a primary campaign against Biden, who dies before Super Tuesday and with Kamala’s endorsement wins the nomination unopposed. Conspiracy theorists go wild.

Jeanine Pirro

[beesley]

Jeanine Pirro is confirmed as Attorney General that day, and everyone ahead of her in the line of succession dies.

John Conyers

[butWhyNot?]

He is used as a test subject to revive people from the dead. The national media attention he gets is so large that he wins the presidency. The 25th amendment is quickly used against him on day one.
