2060 United States presidential election

The 2060 United States presidential election was the 69th quadrennial United States presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 2, 2060. Republican former Governor of Pennsylvania Bob Sanchez and U.S. Senator from Florida Zeta MacIntyre defeated the Democratic ticket of Sally Clark and Julien White.

Sanchez was generally considered by contemporary political observers to be the most socially liberal Republican candidate up to that point in the 21st century, but also leaned much more libertarian economically than his predecessor, which aided him in winning states in the Northeast (this was the first presidential election since 1988 in which New Jersey voted Republican.) However, Republicans continued to lose ground in parts of the South, interior West and Midwest, even with a much weaker Constitution Party compared to four years prior.
