The 2085 Heavenfall presidential election was held on 25 August and 8 September 2085. As no candidate won a majority in the first round, a runoff was held between incumbent President Robin Lin of the newly-formed Labor Party (LAB) and Gustavo Gutiérrez of the Liberation Movement (LMV), which Lin won by a large margin.

Despite speculation about a joint Lin-Wang ticket, Michelle Wang announced her candidacy for the president in March 2085. Later that month, Lin would announce Samiha Karim, the incumbent vice president and president's girlfriend, as their running mate. In early April 2085, conservatice Liberation Movement assemblymember Gustavo Gutiérre issued an ultimatum to Wang: either make him her running mate or he would run for president. The next morning, Wang announced economist Demeke Ali as her running mate, and Gutiérrez announced his candidacy a few hours later. Simultaneously, he announced assemblymember Jimmy Duddridge as his running mate. A week later, Duddridge endorsed Wang, claiming he did not consent to be on the same ticket as Gutiérrez.
