As the election campaigns conclude, the Trump-Christie ticket is campaigning in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia, emphasizing their success against President Hillary Clinton in 2020. Meanwhile, the Newsom-Cuomo ticket held a rally in California, which went poorly due to protesters from the new "#MeToo" movement blocking the entrances in protest against Cuomo and the sexual misconduct allegations against him.

Trump won, becoming the first incumbent president to win two terms since George W. Bush. Democrats blame the Kennedy-Williamson ticket for losing the election, while others blame Newsom for choosing Cuomo as his running mate. It is clear that Trump will be president for four more years, with a secure Congress to support him.

Initially W nominated Myers, but she just flopped. He was deciding between Alito and Michael Luttig, a judge who has been very outspoken against the court's recent decisions about Trump. Do you think he maintains his anti-Trump stance if he's a juror, and does he prod Roberts to take more of a stand?

Also would he still be reliably conservative on non-trump issues?

The year 2024 has been a breath of fresh air for America, marking the first time since 1996 that the country isn't feeling the strain of war or economic downfall. The US economy is on the rise, with inflation, gas prices, and deflation all decreasing.

China and the USA have been slowly improving their relations since the death of Xi Jinping in 2021. A reformist CCP leader has taken charge, gradually cooling the cold war.

Relations with Russia, however, are not as good. The USA delivered a significant blow to Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, forcing them out of the Donbass and almost out of Crimea.

Now, let's get to the elections.

Newsom and the Democrats: On October 26th, the worst day for the Newsom-Cuomo campaign occurred. News of Cuomo's sexual allegations leaked, with Cuomo even admitting to the allegations, leading to his arrest and ongoing trials. Newsom is currently facing intense criticism from Trump for the state of California.

Trump and the Republicans: Although Trump struggled during the first debates, with some pauses that made many people think he had dementia, he bounced back in the second debate. In a three-candidate debate, Trump wiped the floor with Newsom and Kennedy.

Kennedy and the Independents: After splitting the Democratic Party in two, Kennedy has been mass campaigning across heavily Democratic states, gaining state access in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, California, Vermont, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New York, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and South Dakota.

America isn't as politically divided as in our current timeline. Trump is now seen as more of a "Moderate MAGA Republican."

backstory:

After Mitt Romneys disasterous 4 years (2013-2017) Hillary Clinton won the election, however it hasnt been all sunshine and dog shit, the US economy had a major crash after Covid-19 struck the US with Congress being too divided to really do anything against covid or the economy. Trump: Trump runs on a more Conservative campaign similar to Reagan wanting to unify the american people, his running mate is Chris Christie (being the first governor to endorse him against President Romney in 2016) Clinton: Clinton is running on a more Moderate-Liberal campaign trying to win over young and old voters, her popularity is between 43-34 Can she win this election? Or will she lose to Trump?

the 2020 debates are bassicly a reverse, Hillary Clinton has multiple gaffes and seems less presidential while Trump seems more presidenral and not as many gaffes. I will make a election map of this scenario after this is done

trump wins in a minor landslide

After two years of Trump and twelve years of previous presidents, the economy is slowly rising under President Trump. Currently, Trump's popularity is hovering between 55% and 60%. Chris Christie worked his charm in 2021 in New Jersey, making the state Republican once again. Nancy Pelosi is running a liberal campaign against the GOP, while Ron DeSantis aims to win a second term in 2022 after winning the 2018 gubernatorial election by 22 votes.

Current:
As Trump's first term slowly wraps up, let's focus on the main issue he faces:

Age: By the end of Trump's potential second term, at 83 years old, many speculate he may be experiencing dementia.

Now, let's discuss the candidates:

Andrew Cuomo: Cuomo aims to end the Trump Tax Cuts and promote a "return to normalcy," echoing a Bill Clinton-style of governance.

Tim Kaine: Kaine proposes a return to Hillary Clinton's economic policies, which began to stabilize the US economy before the COVID-19 crisis, focusing on reversing Trump's border policies.

Gavin Newsom: Newsom advocates for socializing the American healthcare system and implementing changes similar to those seen in California (which is 20x worst), including major gun bans.

Marianne Williamson: Similar to her real-life persona.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: RFK Jr. is more moderate on certain issues, such as gun laws.

The Democratic Party stands at a crossroads, with many seeking stronger candidates, though finding another Bill Clinton or Jack Kennedy figure is unlikely due to party fatigue.

Regarding Congress:

Both chambers are controlled by Republicans, severely limiting Democrats' ability to counter Trump's legislative agenda. The party can ill afford internal divisions (hint: RFK).
