The '''June 2020 United States Presidential Election''' took place on June 12th, 2020. The [[Democratic Party | Democratic]] ticket (in a coalition with the [[Socialist Party (2019) | Socialist Party]]) of former [[Sierra]] governor [[ZeroOverZero101]] and former Attorney General [[Dewey Cheatem]] defeated incumbent [[Republican Party | Republican]] President [[Gunnz011]] of [[Atlantic]], and his running mate Representative [[polkadot48]] of [[Chesapeake]].

Although Gunnz was challenged throughout the nomination process by more farther right members of the party, most notably Senators [[DexterAmmo]] (who abruptly resigned) and [[iThinkThereforeIFlam]] (who later became Gunnz's Vice President after [[Ibney00]] was appointed to the Supreme Court), he secured the nomination easily. Flam did not decide to run on the ticket, and Gunnz selected fellow moderate Representative Polkadot48 of [[Chesapeake's 1st congressional district]]. Zero trailed throughout the process, eventually taking the frontrunner status after Representative [[NinjjaDragon]] dropped out. Zero eventually won the nomination over Speaker of the House [[APG_Revival]], and due to a coalition with the Socialist Party, picked longtime friend and former Attorney General Dewey Cheatem to be his running mate. 

Zero won the election alongside a Democratic wave in the [[June 2020 Senate Elections|Senate]] and the [[June 2020 United States House of Representatives election | House]]. This marked the first Democratic trifecta since 2008, when Barack Obama led the Democratic Party to one. 
 
==Background==
In [[November 2019 United States Presidential election | November 2019]], then-Senator Gunnz011 defeated [[Vice President of the United States | Vice President]] [[HurricaneofLies]] in the electoral college 337-201. This marked the first time a Republican had held the White House since Donald Trump's resignation. The Republicans were set to have a federal trifecta, however due to defecting votes, [[APG_Revival]] of the [[Bull Moose Party]] (in a coalition with the [[Democratic Party | Democrats]] and the [[Socialist Party (2019) | Socialists]]) became Speaker. 

Throughout Gunnz's Presidency, many things occurred which sparred controversy. Most notably was when his [[Gunnz Administration 25th Amendment Incident | Cabinet invoked the 25th amendment to the constitution]] and made [[Ibney00]] president, and the events in [[2020 Lincoln 2nd amendment sanctuary crisis | Montana's 2nd amendment sanctuary counties]]. In the midterm elections, the Republicans expanded their [[March 2020 Senate elections | senate majority]] while the Democrats (and Socialists) continued their hold of the [[March 2020 House of Representatives election | house]]. 

Due to a Supreme Court vacancy, Gunnz nominated his Vice President Ibney, and he was [[Confirmation of Ibney00 |confirmed by a 7-3 vote in the Senate]], and nominated [[iThinkThereforeIFlam]] who was also [[Confirmation of iThinkTherforeIFlam | confirmed]]. 

==Nominations and Primaries==
===Republican===
{{Main|June 2020 Republican Party Presidential primary}}
Throughout the primary season, Gunnz was in a tough battle with more conservative members of the party, most notably [[List of US Senators from Dixie | Dixie Senator]] [[DexterAamo]] and [[List of US Senators from the Chesapeake | Chesapeake Senator]] [[iThinkTherforeIFlam]]. Both of them dropped out, Aamo after resigning and Flam after being confirmed as Vice President. Gunnz secured the nomination easily, and changed running mates to Representative [[polkadot48]].

===Democratic===
{{Main|June 2020 Democratic Party Presidential primary}} 
Many candidates entered the Democratic primary, however at the beginning, there were two front runners, Representative [[NinjjaDragon]] and House Majority Whip [[PresentSale]], while smaller candidates including Governor ZeroOverZero101, Former Representative [[ConfidentInt]], and [[Assembly of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake | Chesapeake Assemblyman]] [[Plebit8080]] also ran. After a debate on foreign policy, both Ninjja and Sale dropped out, and Zero became the front runner. Even though Speaker of the House APG_Revival entered the campaign, Zero quickly received the nomination.

===Debates===
Two debates were held, one for [https://reddit.com/r/ModelUSElections/comments/gyabml/presidential_debate/ President] and one for [https://www.reddit.com/r/ModelUSElections/comments/gym8bq/vice_president_debate/  Vice President]. In the Presidential debate, Zero attacked Gunnz on many fronts, including his administration's record on LGBTQ+ rights and his errors throughout the term, especially around the 25th amendment invocation. In the Vice Presidential debate, Cheatem attacked Polkadot for her inexperience and views on issues (including universal healthcare, which she came out in support of while a Democrat). 

===Battlegrounds===
The campaign was mostly fought in three states: Chesapeake (more specifically the second congressional district), Dixie, and Lincoln. Atlantic and Sierra were safe for Gunnz and Zero respectively, with neither opponent or their running mate making an appearance in the opposite. Throughout the campaign, both candidates and their running mates campaigned on the major issues for their party, which included healthcare, climate change, and foreign policy.
