Biden 2020 minus GA. AZ was the closest state

In honor of the upcoming release of W.5 Final Mix, decided to take the fight to ol' Chappaquiddick Teddy while invading both Afghanistan and Iraq, and managed a fairly comfortable Electoral College win. Still barely lost the popular vote though, and barely any state voted above 50% for either candidate thanks to a pair of oddly successful third parties each appealing to different demographics (John Anderson and Jesse Ventura). It's a poisoned chalice, of course - if you lose to Ted with two wars going on, apparently Bush roars back in '08 with a vengeance. God help us all - but this universe produces a better version of the movie Vice with Christian Bale so maybe it's worth it.

Decided to try the 1992 Redux mod playing as Bill Clinton with Bob Graham (who passed away yesterday at the age of 87) as his running mate. I largely played it similar to real life (though Graham did get trounced by Dan Quayle in the Vice-Presidential debate).

The Clinton/Graham ticket ended up winning (California put me over the top), though in the Electoral College it was much closer than real life (Bush won Ohio {in real life, the state that put Clinton over the top} while winning Louisiana by about 2000 votes. Clinton in this scenario won Montana by 297 votes).

Results of when I tried the Gary Hart mod as Hart with Dale Bumpers as my running mate.

While Hart did a lot better than Dukakis in real life, in the end George H.W. Bush still won by a fairly comfortable margin (notably Hart carried Arkansas while narrowly losing his home state of Colorado).

There is a version where you control the war?

Oh yeah. I think it's only on Campaign Trail Showcase, the mod is called 𝚆. The premise is that 9/11 didn't happen, and it has choose-your-own-adventure elements at least on par with the Nixon Peace With Honor mod. It's probably my favourite scenario, and they're adding a sort of Director's Cut with new questions and candidates on Sunday I believe. It's probably my favourite scenario.
