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

[NewYorkExpress]

Biden retires after one term. Harris fails to win the nomination, after several public gaffes as VP undermine her credibility. Sanders enters the race one last time - and wins.

Jill Stein

An EMP completely causes the complete collapse of the United States and Putin installs her as Puppet President for the Russian Occupation Zone

(She met with him in December 2015 along with Micheal Flynn)

You skipped me.

Jill Stein runs as a Democrat and spends half of her campaign saying that she didn't split the vote for Hillary Clinton, and the other half how progressive she is. After endorsements from progressive Democrats she wins by picking Deval Patrick who helps her unify the party. She wins by running on a healthcare and climate change platform after severe flooding in Florida.

Gary Hart

[tanairi8]

A bunch of faithless electors vote for him after Biden's natural death just hours before the Electoral Votes are cast. He pledges to only serve for a few weeks before letting Harris take over.

MJ Hegar

[NewYorkExpress]

MJ Hegar is elected Governor of Texas in 2022, and runs for President in 2024, defeating a collapsing Kamala Harris campaign. She then defeats Ted Cruz in November.

Stormy Daniels

[Pink Panther]

Trump is arrested and convicted of multiple counts of Corruption, Tax Fraud, and Abuse of Power. He in turn also becomes bankrupt, along with his family. Daniels agrees to pay for Trump's bond in exchange for his endorsement for the GOP Presidential Nomination. Because Trump is essentially God in the GOP, and since Daniels does have Republican roots, she gets the nom. In a surprise move, Former Nom. Hillary Clinton successfully Biden and wins the Dem Nom again. However, a week before the election reveals Clinton was the true mastermind of Epstein's Island. Daniels wins in a blowout and it inaugurated.

Joe Miller

[tanairi8]

After finally winning Lisa Murkowski’s senate seat in 2022 as a Libertarian, the Libertarian party ensures his nomination for President in 2024. Apathy from a Biden vs Trump rematch leads many to flock to Miller allowing him to qualify for the debates, where everyone agrees he destroys the two older presidents. Suddenly, down ballot major party nominees in safe districts for the other major party drop out and endorse the Libertarian running, giving even more credibility to the Miller/Amash ticket. They get just barely over the 270 threshold by winning state after state with less than 40 percent and carrying a larger than expected number of Libertarians into congress with them.

Next: Todd Palin

[beesley]

Todd Palin runs on an anti-climate, pro-tax cuts, anti-immigration platform in the GOP primary, and defeats Ted Cruz after neither Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis run. He wins the election as the Green New Deal proved unpopular due to mismanagement.

Ken Jennings

[NewYorkExpress]

The Presidency is decided by a game of Jeopardy!. Alex Trebek is brought back from the dead to host.

Shigeru Miyamoto

[Medal506]

Our country decided to let non Americans be president.

Anthony Fauci

[beesley]

Our country decided to let non Americans be president.

Anthony Fauci

A damning special counsel inquiry on the Trump and Biden administrations' handling of the COVID-19 pandemic shows both neglect and corruption from both administrations, as well as repeated attempts to silence and shaft Dr. Fauci and other scientific advisors. Fauci, following the report's publication testifies before Congress in a groundbreaking hearing. Following this, independent voters and groups such as the Lincoln Project call on Fauci to run despite being 84 in a 'draft Eisenhower' style movement. He agrees to serve for just two years to fix up the mess before stepping down. He chooses Jay Inslee as his running mate and 450+ EV as the Democratic nominee is Seth Moulton and the Republican is Donald Trump Jr.

Seeing as I mentioned him... Jay Inslee

Seeing as I mentioned him... Jay Inslee

I thought Anthony Fauci was a democrat.

Anyways, climate change hits faster than the UN predicted which means instead of wearing face masks, everyone is mandated to wear heavy fur coats due to the freezing weather. Jay Inslee runs on a strictly climate change platform once again and ends up winning the Democratic nomination over Joe Biden and wins in a 500 electoral vote landslide.

In the scenario he runs independent to avoid being associated with Joe Biden.

(also, you forgot to suggest someone new!)

[NewYorkExpress]

Since the Jay Inslee poster didn't suggest someone new, I guess I will?

Meghan Markle

[Medal506]

Meghan Markle runs as an independent and wins in a landslide against Joe Biden and Donald Trump.


Jackson Michie (from Big Brother season 21)

[NewYorkExpress]

No idea who that is, or why the American public would vote for someone who's claim to fame is being on Big Brother.

Marcia Clark

[tanairi8]

A high profile murder case is in the news for months, and she is troll voted to the nomination.

John Malcolm Patterson

John Malcolm Patterson

There was hope for another draft Eisenhower movement but he was the only person left from that era. Not sure I can add anything to that that would somehow make it more realistic.

Neera Tanden, but with Joe Manchin as VP

[tanairi8]

She makes a backroom deal with Manchin to select him as VP if she wins in order to be confirmed as OMB director. Her Twitter account becomes insane and the media covers it nonstop to the point that she wins the nomination.

Krystal Ball

[Medal506]

She makes a backroom deal with Manchin to select him as VP if she wins in order to be confirmed as OMB director. Her Twitter account becomes insane and the media covers it nonstop to the point that she wins the nomination.

Krystal Ball

Democrats decided they wanted Krystal Ball as their nominee. Republicans picked Roy Moore. She ends up narrowly beating roy moore in the electoral vote but wins the Popular Vote by 10 million votes.

Vaush

[tanairi8]

He holds a ton of events with young socialists.

Henry Cuellar

[Pink Panther]

In order to appeal to Conservative Hispanics, Cuellar somehow wins the Democratic Nomination after Biden refuses to run, while Harris' campaign collapses worse than Trump Plaza. Trump runs again, but this time campaigns on no legal immigration whatsoever. His lawsuits also sinks him. Cuellar wins and is inaugurated.

John Cena

[NewYorkExpress]

WWE fans turn out en masse to vote for Cena, who defeats Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in a three way race.

Caroline Kennedy

[tanairi8]

Her last name guarantees her victory.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

[NewYorkExpress]

Her last name guarantees her victory.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the designated survivor for Biden's final State of the Union address. Terrorists blow up the capitol, killing Biden, Harris, the entire cabinet, and everyone in the House and Senate except for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Dolores Umbridge

[beesley]

Her last name guarantees her victory.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz is the designated survivor for Biden's final State of the Union address. Terrorists blow up the capitol, killing Biden, Harris, the entire cabinet, and everyone in the House and Senate except for Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Dolores Umbridge

If Dolores Umbridge is a real person, then she simply magics herself as President, until Harry Potter comes and restores Jim Gilmore to his rightful position as President.

Alan Grayson
