Presidential elections were held in the Reformed States on November 4, 2036. Ron DeSantis, incumbent President and Republican Party nominee, alongside incumbent Vice President Tim Scott, defeated the Democratic ticket of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the junior U.S. Senator from New York, and Shawn Fain, labor unionist and president of the United Auto Workers. Andrew Yang, entrepreneur and founder of the Forward Party, ran alongside former Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema, receiving over 7% of the national popular vote and nearly winning Sinema's home state.
As the incumbent president, DeSantis secured the Republican nomination without serious opposition, while the Democrats experienced a competitive primary. Ocasio-Cortez narrowly led polls and won the support of some party leaders, but faced opposition from a number of more moderate Democrats. She secured her party's nomination in April, defeating former Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro, Arizona senator Ruben Gallego, and New Jersey congressman Josh Gottheimer, among others.
Campaigns focused heavily on domestic issues, particularly concerning the Second American Civil War. Other issues included the impact of The Reformation, the spread of internet in the Reformed States, and job outsourcing to China. The DeSantis campaign made several false and misleading claims, including that the R.S. had fully captured the Mojave Desert in New California, and that cyberattacks from Free State drones that triggered blackouts were simply regular blackouts. Ocasio-Cortez's campaign heavily focused on returning manufacturing jobs to the R.S., and the reason why she picked Fain to be her running mate; as a result, the Democratic ticket swept the entire Great Lakes region (except Indiana). Her campaign also focused largely on conceding the Second American Civil War to the Free States while maintaining diplomatic relations with them.
Ocasio-Cortez won the national popular vote by .77 percentage points, making her the only Democrat since Joe Biden in 2020 to do so. DeSantis took the Electoral College, winning 229 electoral votes to Ocasio-Cortez's 201. This is the most recent presidential election in which a Democratic candidate won more than 200 electoral votes. Ocasio-Cortez gained Iowa and Ohio, a result of her rust belt appeal and significant improvement among working class voters, but failed to hold on to Arizona, as DeSantis gained support among college-age voters. This is the most recent election in which a Democratic candidate won Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Wisonsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, or Nevada. This is the most recent election in which none of the six major candidates hold major public office any longer.
