The 2028 United States presidential election was the 61st quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2028. The Republican ticket of Vice President Vivek Ramaswamy and U.S. Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul defeated the Democratic ticket of U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania John Fetterman and U.S. Representative from Minnesota's 3rd congressional district Dean Phillips and the Reform ticket of businessman Ross Perot Jr. and former Alabama State Treasurer George Wallace Jr. The election took place against the backdrop of the Chinese invasion of Taiwan and the Egyptian invasion of Israel. The election saw voter turnout of 74.6%, the highest by percentage of any presidential election in United States history.

The Republican Party held a government trifecta at the time of the election. The incumbent President of the United States was Republican Donald Trump, who was term-limited and prevented from running again. His Vice President, Vivek Ramaswamy, quickly became the front runner for the Republican nomination in 2028. His main competition came from Ron DeSantis, the former Governor of Florida, and Brian Kemp, the former Governor of Georgia. Ramaswamy won the Republican nomination at the 2028 Republican National Convention and selected Rand Paul, the junior U.S. Senator from Kentucky, as his running mate.

The Democratic Party had largely collapsed during the 2024 United States presidential election. Then-incumbent Joe Biden was nominated by the Democratic Party, but died of a stroke ahead of the election. As a result, then-Vice President Kamala Harris became the 47th President and Democratic nominee. She was incredibly unpopular and many disaffected Democrats split to form the Free Democratic Party or join the Forward Party. The rift had not healed by 2028 and the Democratic National Committee had self-dissolved in 2027. The remaining Democrats came together to organize the 2028 Democratic National Convention, which was held in a Target retail store in Manhattan. The Democratic Party ultimately nominated John Fetterman, the junior U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. Fetterman selected Dean Phillips, the U.S. Representative from Minnesota's 3rd congressional district, as his running mate.

In 2024, the Reform Party had finally managed to recover from its 2000 primaries disaster. With new by-laws, a reformed platform, and a denouncement of Pat Buchanan, the Reform Party officially endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his independent presidential campaign. Kennedy's 2024 campaign garnered a lot of support, and many Kennedy voters joined the Reform Party. Ross Perot Jr., a businessman and the son of Reform Party founder Ross Perot, ultimately rejoined the Reform Party after previously isolating himself from the organization. He received the Reform Party nomination for 2028. Perot selected George Wallace Jr., an Alabama politician and the son of American Independent Party founder George Wallace, as his running mate.

2008 United States presidential election (Breaking Bad) change

The 2008 United States presidential election was the 56th quadrennial presidential election, held on November 4, 2008. The Democratic ticket of Saul Goodman, a lawyer from New Mexico, and Mike Ehrmantraut, a police officer from Pennsylvania, defeated the Republican ticket of Gus Fring, a businessman from New Mexico, and Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, a businesswoman from Texas. This was the first election since 1952 in which neither the incumbent President nor Vice President was on the ballot, as well as the first election since 1928 in which neither ran for the nomination.

Incumbent Republican President George W. Bush was ineligible to pursue a third term due to the term limits established in the Twenty-second Amendment. Although John McCain, a U.S. Senator from Arizona, and Mitt Romney, the former Governor of Massachusetts, both sought the Republican nomination in 2008, they both found a new opponent in dark horse candidate and restaurant owner Gus Fring. Fring secured the nomination by March 2008 and chose Lydia Rodarte-Quayle, a youthful businesswoman from Texas, as his running mate. The Democratic primaries were originally viewed as a three-way race between Joe Biden, a U.S. Senator from Delaware; Hillary Clinton, a U.S. Senator from New York; and Barack Obama, a U.S. Senator from Illinois. These three candidates ultimately found themselves challenged by dark horse candidate and New Mexico lawyer Saul Goodman, who secured the nomination in June 2008.
