Brian John
(that was just an example)

Ok then.

In an ironic twist of fate, Welsh scientist and alt-history fiction writer Dr. Brian John is found to be the illegitimate child of Lyndon Johnson, providing him with natural-born American citizenship.

Using the media frenzy around his revealed parenthood to gain notoriety, John becomes a fixture on cable news, and quickly becomes a favourite of the left thanks to his plain-spoken ways and lilting Welsh accent.

To woo the Democratic base, John pivots to the environment, and uses his Doctorate in Geographical Studies (specialising in glaciers and the ice age) to put focus on climate change.

This is thought to damage his general election chances, but after a freak tsunami puts Miami underwater, the American public becomes convinced they need an ecologically minded President.

I didn’t know that was an actual person lol

Kind of the same for most democrats; runs as a dark horse candidate and primaries Harris after she runs a terrible campaign. Then goes on to beat a bad Republican candidate.

Doug Ford, forced out of his home province for being authoritarian and generally terrible, becomes a cheerleader for the US manufacturing industry, using the same populist slogans about being 'open for business'. He manages to also portray his authoritarian streak as a tough on crime agenda, and after Trump doesn't run and the frontrunners are seen as having taken the side of criminals and illegal immigrants after an incident, Ford wins at a contested convention. He wins all of Trump's states plus Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin.

McAfee is endorsed by Trump after Trump is forced to step back due to health issues. Charges against McAfee are suspiciously dropped, some saying that a number of figures involved in the case were bribed. Saying the "deep state" is against him, McAfee has the base whipped into a frenzy and clears the field. Meanwhile Democrats have a contentious primary after Biden also steps out due to health issues. Harris emerges the winner, but scars from the primary and a bad campaign by Harris narrowly give the win to McAfee.

Wahsayah Whitebird


Wahsayh  Whitebird is the Communist Party Nominee. Somehow, Biden, Trump, Hawkins, Jorgensen and every other candidate die mysteriously. They all get some candidate, but since Wahsayh is the only one who is known to be alive, he wins the presidency. (This is the craziest thing I have ever written)

Stewart somehow successfully primaries Lee, and becomes a Senator. Stewart then somehow wins Trump's endorsement and the GOP endorsement in 2024. After it's revealed Biden was responsible for COVID, Stewart wins and is inaugurated.

The American Nazi Party is the only legal party in 2024, and Matt Shea is their candidate. Obviously, he wins.

I'll do both:

Kim Jong-un does not become President, that goes to Kim Il-Sung. He does however assume all the powers of President after he succesfully kidnaps Joe Biden after his re-election and blackmails EC delegates. He is impeached and convicted of high crimes and misdemeanors while his inauguration is taking place.


Molly Gray becomes Governor of Vermont after Phil Scott runs for the Senate. Her Presidential campaign has little sway until she wins Vermont on Super Tuesday. She later wins Maine, Minnesota, Wyoming, North Dakota and Idaho and wins at a contested convention. The GOP candidate threatens to kill someone the day before the election.

James Comey.

Comey runs as an independent, since it's a rematch of the 2016 Election, and both Clinton and Trump demand that Comey should be sent to jail. Comey runs with the endorsements of every famous, respectable, and beloved figures imaginable, and is able to win, and is inaugurated.

Doug Walker runs in character as the Nostalgia Critic (Party Unknown) against an in character Stephen Colbert (Republicans) and Al Franken (Democrats), and wins.

Jill Biden
Kamala Harris has a huge scandal before the 2024 D nomination. Harris doesn’t run. Buttigieg has no interest in running. The D field is lackluster. Jill Biden is forced into the field as the best candidate. The Rs run Mike Lee and lose by a decent margin.

Jackson defeats McCrory in 2022, becoming Senator in the process. After Harris resigns due to corruption charges, Jackson becomes Veep, because Biden desperately wants NC. However, a week before the election, Biden dies. With the sympathy vote and GOP nominee Trump's toxicity, Jackson wins and is inaugurated.

Roy Barnes
Jon Ossoff suddenly dies unexpectedly in 2023. Governor Stacy Abrams looks for a replacement that won’t run again. Roy Barnes was old, but he’d be fine she thought. Roy Barnes gets appointed to the senate. Biden, Harris and the entire presidential cabinet also suddenly die. As there is no protocols for what to do when this happens, Roy Barnes is selected as president and serves until 2029.

Somehow Jesus comes back to earth and reveals Susanna Martinez is a child of gods, this causes everyone to forget how bad a governor she was, she runs in 2024 and wins a 50 state sweep, and then her inauguration is considered a holy event.

Tara Reade
Tara Reade’s allegations are proven, and she becomes a celebrity and popular with the #MeToo. Ovement. Biden runs for a second term, but Tara Reade primaries him. She wins against the R nominee, Marco Rubio.

Biden and Harris both either don't or can't run. Kelly unexpectedly launches a campaign, running as a Democrat and portraying himself as "the super-rich guy who's going to stop the super-rich from getting richer." There is skepticism at first because of what happened the last time the country elected a businessman with no political experience, but the nation slowly warms up to him, and he wins the election against a Generic R, with a surprising level of support from business types and fiscal conservatives, because they believe he is going to do a Trump and move to the right economically after being elected.

Maggie Toulouse Oliver
Michelle Lujan Grisham unexpectedly decides to retire in 2022. The Lieutenant Governor declines to run. Oliver runs, and wins the primary. She wins the Governor General election over Mark Ronchetti. Suddenly, a virus comes around on mid 2023 called the “@“@‘akaakaiaiakzmznxhxhsh=8virus. Many state governors can’t handle it, and Biden and Harris succumb to the deadly virus. Because of how well Oliver handles it, she becomes a rising star and wins the 2024 D Primary over Pete Buttigieg. She wins the general election over  Mike Lee.

Kelly runs a dark horse campaign and wins in a contested convention. Narrowly wins against DeSantis.
