United States presidential election, 2020 (Casting Shadows)

Mirk won the majority of the popular vote and a wide margin in the electoral college, supported by the failure of the incumbent Democratic President Joe Biden to stem the early 2020s Recession. O'Malley also faced a series of miscues and gaffes that affected a strong early campaign lead. This allowed Kirk to win by the highest popular margin since the 1988 election.
