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

[NewYorkExpress]

Biden doesn't run for reelection, Kamala Harris bombs with the primary electorate again, Nina Turner is the only other Democrat running, and Republicans don't even field a candidate.

Vladimir Putin

[NewYorkExpress]

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don't run. Jon Bel Edwards is the only serious candidate for the Democrats, and Republicans nominate someone who turns off the base, like Larry Hogan.

Michelle Obama

[NewYorkExpress]

Mike Gravel's meme campaign is the only campaign against Kamala Harris in the Democratic Primaries, and he somehow wins the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primaries, forcing Harris from the race.

He defeats Marjorie Taylor Greene in the general election.

Dan Quayle

[NewYorkExpress]

Believe it or not, Quayle's actually younger than Joe Biden. Just a fun fact.

H.W. Bush nostalgia maybe?


Andrew Yang

Yang gets elected Mayor of New York in 2021, runs for the Democratic nomination in 2024, and defeats Kamala Harris in the primaries, before defeating Donald Trump in the general election.

The Qanon idiots realise that Dan Quayle is the only high-ranking American politican whose surname starts with Q, and that he had incredibly high security clearance as VP - with the conspiracists uniting around the idea that Quayle himself is Q .

Also, they decide that his mispelling of 'potatoe' is actually a secret signal that he's trying to take down the Deep State (potato + e. E is short for evil and engineered, indicating that the illuminati have poisoned America's potatoes with genetic engineering).

Finally assured of the identity of their messiah, they pressure him to run.

They storm the primary, and threaten the other candidates so badly that only Quayle left after Iowa. After winning the nomination, a series of economic crises allow him to narrowly beat Harris.

Chasten Buttigieg

Chasten gets elected to a Congresional seat in Indiana in 2022, and runs for President, winning the Democratic nomination over Kamala Harris, and defeating the Republican nominee in a landslide.

Joseph Massino

[NewYorkExpress]

Stein, as the nominee of the Green Party, wins a plurality of the popular vote and a majority of the electoral vote against Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rashida Talib.

Chelsea Clinton

[NewYorkExpress]

Chelsea Clinton runs for Senate in a 2021 special election after Kirsten Gillibrand is arrested on insider trading charges and resigns. (I mean it could be Schumer, but Gillibrand would be more surprising.) She wins the Dem nomination as a unity candidate after Biden stands down and Harris is defeated, also beating Andrew Yang, Eric Swalwell, Gretchen Whitmer, Ilhan Omar and Charlie Crist.

Bobby Bright

Bobby Bright runs an Independent Campaign after Democrats nominate Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and Republicans nominate Marjorie Taylor Greene. He wins a plurality of the popular vote, and exactly 270 electoral votes. His running mate is Cindy McCain.

Newt Gingrich

[NewYorkExpress]

Umm, I have no who Crispin Wah is (if they don't have a Wikipedia Page, they don't exist in my opinion.), so I have no clue how Crispin Wah could possibly become President by 2025.

Eliot Spitzer

[NewYorkExpress]

Beto O'Rourke beats Greg Abbott in the Texas Gubernatorial election in 2022, and immediately launches a presidential bid. His strength in fundraising forces Kamala Harris out of the race, and he beats the Republican nominee by the skin of his teeth in November.

Merrick Garland

[NewYorkExpress]

Umm, who is that?

Elizabeth II

[NewYorkExpress]

Deb Haaland steps down because of some scandal and Biden appoints Wilson to be Secretary of the Interior. There is a major far-right militia attack on the 2022 SOTU address with Wilson as designated survivor. Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Leahy, Blinken, Yellen, Austin, and Garland are all either killed or incapacitated. Wilson assumes the Presidency and does a masterful job uniting the country in a post-9/11 style spirit of comradery against the attackers. Wilson coasts to re-election against a far-right Republican who is successfully painted as being in league with the attackers and a center-right independent challenger.


Kshama Sawant

Sawant is the only serious primary challenger to Kamala Harris, and wins the Iowa Caucus, crippling Harris's fundraising. Despite expectations that Harris will do extremely well in states like South Carolina, Sawant keeps things close by running up the score among white progressives, and ultimately forces Harris from the race when she wins the California Primary.

She then defeats Donald Trump, after picking Bernie Sanders as her running mate, as a John Kasich independent candidacy splits the Republican vote.

Cyrus Vance Jr.

[NewYorkExpress]

Tom Kean Jr. defeats an incumbent Democrat (probably Malinowski) in 2022, then runs for President in 2024. He wins the Republican nomination at the convention, after fifty different candidates win each primary/caucus (Kean wins New Jersey). With his running mate, Nikki Haley, he defeats Kamala Harris in the general election.

Rod Blagojevich

[NewYorkExpress]

Didn't we just do this one?

Shinzo Abe

[NewYorkExpress]

The Republican Party, and America, goes full Christian Theocracy.

Ellen DeGeneres

[NewYorkExpress]

For some reason, votes in Connecticut count more than in any other state, meaning Napier wins a majority of electoral votes despite only carrying Connecticut.

John Calipari

[NewYorkExpress]

Joe Biden somehow becomes twenty years younger. Then he runs for reelection, faces Trump again and wins easily. (he doesn't actually need step one, but that's the only way I vote for him in the Democratic Primary).

David Petraeus

[NewYorkExpress]

Tom Corbett runs in the Senate race in Pennsylvania this year and wins, then runs for President and wins the Republican Primaries. In the General Election, he defeats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Jason Ravnsborg

[NewYorkExpress]

Jason Ravnsberg is discovered to have destroyed the Deep State all by himself, causing him to be endorsed by Trump, getting him the GOP nomination. The Dems nominate Bob Menendez, who is discovered to have been a serial killer. Ravnsberg wins and is inaugurated.

Plankton

Bikini Bottom is discovered to be a U.S territory. Plankton receives more write-in votes for President than either the Democratic nominee, Bernie Sanders, or the Republican nominee, Marjorie Taylor-Greene, that he is elected President in the electoral college.

Coriolanus Snow

[NewYorkExpress]

Perdue successfully primaries Brian Kemp and then runs for President in 2024, after Donald Trump is convicted of numerous felonies. He wins the South Carolina Primary, as well as many other Southern Primaries by virtue of being the only Southern candidate running, and defeats Kamala Harris in November.

Stephen Colbert

[NewYorkExpress]

For some reason, votes by Cubans in South Florida are worth ten times as much as any other vote.

Morgan Freeman

[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.

SKIP.

[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

[NewYorkExpress]

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

Shigeru Miyamoto

[NewYorkExpress]

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

Meghan Markle

[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

[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
