Results
As The Great War dragged on with no end in sight, motivation and confidence in the government was decreasing. After President Tilden's attempt to repeal term limits failed, rumors were spread that Tilden will attempt to use martial law to keep himself in power. Before any veracity to these claims could be verified, the President was assassinated under the command of a group of United States Senators, who were soon impeached and arrested. His Vice President, William Hayden English, was elevated to the Presidency, but his tenure was short lived as he had fallen too ill to act as President, resulting in Speaker of the House John Carlisle becoming President. The Republicans nominated Gabriel Orville Vigil (stylized as GOV), grandson of former President Gabriel Vigil and Governor of Pennsylvania for the Presidency, who campaigned on bringing an end to the war and stopping the chaos in modern politics. The Democrats nominated Tennessee Governor Malcolm Anderson, who campaigned on continuing the legacy of President Tilden. Anderson didn't provide very many new things to differentiate himself, his connections to the Brosnahan family have harmed him and during his debate with GOV he stated that Republicans "are greedy piglets who have no place in America". GOV would go on to win a comfortable victory on election day and become the next President.
