The 2048 Californian presidential election was the 5th quadrennial presidential election in New California. It took place on November 3, 2048. Candidates ran under a nonpartisan blanket primary in May, with Theodore Hendricks and Susan Nicholas receiving the most and second-most votes, respectively. Hendricks ultimately prevailed over Nicholas by a margin of around 12 points. As expected, Hendricks and Nicholas both decisively won their respective home counties.
Hendricks received almost 41% of the popular vote in the primary election, the strongest showing by far by any candidate in the nation's 16-year history. It was the third time in a row that a candidate for the Progressive, Libertarian, Christian Democratic, or Republican parties did not advance to the general election in November. This election was the third time in a row there was a female candidate for one of the two parties in November.
