The United States presidential election of 2020, took place on November 3, 2020 and was the 59th quadrennial U.S. presidential election. Voters selected presidential electors who in turn elected a new president and vice president through the electoral college. The series of presidential primary elections and caucuses were held during the first six months of 2020. This nominating process is also an indirect election, where voters cast ballots selecting a slate of delegates to a political party's nominating convention, who then in turn elect their party's presidential nominee.

Previous winner, Republican Donald Trump, who was elected in 2016, became impeached in early 2018, for conflict of interest with Russia, and will not be able to seek re-election. His successor, Mike Pence confirmed he would seek for a second term in 2020, while trying to continue making the United States a Christian Theocracy.

The winner of the 2020 presidential election was scheduled to be inaugurated on January 20, 2021.

Mike Pence was eligible to run for re-election and implied on numerous cases that he intended to do so. He was unopposed throughout the Republican primary and was quickly announced as the presumptive nominee by the Republican National Committee.

A week before the Republican National Convention took place, Mike Pence announced that US Senator Bob Corker would be his pick for running mate.

At the Republican National Convention, both Mike Pence and Bob Corker were nominated by acclimation, after facing no contention.

Mike Pence's presidential campaign was described by political experts as being a mix of conservatism and christian democracy. The major demographics that stood in support to his campaign were Republican voters, Christian Fundamentalists and right-wing activists. However, he was heavily criticised by the likes of InfoWars-founder Alex Jones, Ann Coulter and the French President Marine Le Pen for "softening" the policies of his predecessor, President Trump.

Democratic Party[]

Further reading:

A number of twelve candidates announced their intentions to run for the Democratic ticket in 2020. Early polling before the first presidential debate indicated that the primary was going to be a close race between three candidates, Bob Iger, Elizabeth Warren and Gary Johnson. While Bob Iger appealed to more centrist democrats, Elizabeth Warren received major support from more progressive and millennial voters. Gary Johnson, who ran as a Libertarian in the previous two elections, witnessed a major surge in several polls, to the point of being tied with either Iger or Warren. In some polls, Tulsi Gabbard had also gained major support.

After failing to gain momentum in the first Democratic debate, both Governor Lincoln Chafee and Governor John Bel Edwards withdrew their candidacies from the Presidential ticket. Mayor Bill de Blasio withdrew after the second debate, while Xavier Becerra suspended his campaign for the presidency after the third debate.

The primaries began in February 2020 and lasted until June. After failing to receive any delegates after the Iowa caucus, Secretary Julian Castro, Governor Martin O'Malley and Secretary Jason Kander all withdrew their bids for the presidency. Lawrence Lessig suspended his campaign after the primary in New Hampshire. He received a total of 3 delegates. After the South Carolina primary, Tulsi Gabbard withdrew after receiving only 13 delegates at total.

The Super Tuesday primaries saw a major upset in Texas, when Elizabeth Warren won the state with a margin of only 0,2%. Bob Iger was predicted to win the state with about 7%. Meanwhile, Gary Johnson decided to withdraw from the Democratic primary after a "poor performance", but expressed his gratitude for all the support he had gained and pledged his support for whoever would end up being the Democratic nominee. He had won a total of 144 delegates.

One of the most well known events that occurred in this primary was during the debate in Michigan, where Elizabeth Warren unexpectedly called out the Democratic National Committee for "trying to rig the system" and that Bob Iger "wouldn't do anything to change that if elected". These comments were heavily criticized by several insiders within the Democratic Party. Journalist and former advisor of Hillary Clinton, Peter Daou, an early supporter of Iger, demanded that "Senator Warren apologizes at once for her remarks". However, she received massive praise from the likes of Senator Bernie Sanders, Deputy Chair Keith Ellison and Green Party-candidate Jill Stein, with Sanders stating that "Warren brings a very important discussion into the political process, that really needs to be addressed". DNC-Chairman Tom Perez refused to give any comments on Warren's statements. In retrospect, political experts have cited this event as "possibly the major reason" why Iger lost the primary in Michigan.

Yet another upset occurred in the New York primary when Warren won with over 55%, despite polls indicating Iger would win easily.

After the primaries in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota, Elizabeth Warren was proclaimed the presumptive nominee, after reaching the threshold in pledged delegates. However, when counting super delegates, both Warren and Iger had reached over 2 146 delegates. Despite his defeat, Bob Iger pledged to stay in the race until the Democratic National Convention.

Just a few days before the Democratic National Convention, Elizabeth Warren announced that she had picked former Senator Russ Feingold as her running mate.

After an arguably competitive roll call vote between her and Bob Iger, Elizabeth Warren was eventually oficially nominated as the Democratic candidate, forcing Iger to finally concede.

Kanye West's candidacy[]

Further reading: Kanye West presidential campaign, 2020

In the spring of 2019, Kanye West launched his presidential campaign as an independent. Political experts described his platform as left-wing populist and black nationalist. He gained strong support from african-american voters from the south and received endorsements from numerous left-wing foreign leaders.

His campaign was highly controversial and received strong criticism from both Democratic and Republican insiders, many of which claimed he was "mentally unfit" for the presidency. Amongst more conservative media outlets, many accused his campaign of being socialist, communist or anarchist, claims of which Kanye himself have denied numerous times.

In early February 2020, Kanye West announced Black Lives Matter-founder and activist Alicia Garza as his running mate.

His campaign was caught under fire, when it had been discovered during the Democratic primary in Maryland, that a group of West-supporters had entered voting stations across the state and voted with blank paper-ballots, in an attempt to disrupt the primary. Kanye West himself did not make any comments on these actions.
