The 2028 United States Presidential election was held on November 7, 2028 and saw Democratic Party candidate Gretchen Whitmer defeat Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin and Constitution Party candidate Donald Trump Jr.. The outcome of the election saw Whitmer become the first woman to be elected President of the United States.

Following massive Democratic gains in Congress in the 2026 United States elections, then-incumbent President Donald J. Trump was impeached for a third time, and eventually became the first U.S. President to be removed from office. JD Vance, Trump's Vice President and President upon Trump's removal, refused to run for the office in 2028 on account of the baggage of being from an impeached administration. Donald Trump Jr., son of the elder Trump, subsequently ran in the 2028 Republican presidential primaries on a "vengeance ticket", eventually becoming the front-runner for the nomination; however, he narrowly lost to former Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, who was nominated in part due to not being involved in President Trump's administration. As a result, Trump Jr. launched a bid for the far-right Constitution Party, with Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano as his running mate.

Whitmer, running with Texas Representative Greg Casar as Vice Presidential candidate, had run primarily on an economic policy of free trade and tax cuts for middle-income Americans, collectively known as "Gretchenomics", as a solution for pulling America out of the Second Great Recession, which Whitmer tied to the Trump presidency's high tariffs. Additionally, Whitmer promised to protect trade unions, as well as sign into law the Amber Nicole Thurman Women's Health Protection Act in light of the abortion-rights movement. Youngkin, choosing South Carolina Senator Tim Scott as his running mate, also ran on federal women's health protections, and promised tax cuts for rich and middle-class Americans as well as tax breaks for renewable energy companies. Youngkin also focused on foreign policy, particularly in brokering an international peace settlement for the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War. Trump Jr. was vehemently opposed to the abortion-rights movement, and wished to maintain the economic policies of his father's administration; as a result, many analysts deemed Trump Jr's campaign as "reactionary".

Due to a split right-wing ticket, Whitmer won the election overwhelmingly, winning 454 electoral votes in the largest presidential landslide victory since 1984. Youngkin, as a result of split votes in red states, won 15 states and 84 electoral votes, though lost his home state of Virginia in an extreme upset. Trump Jr., despite winning over 25 million votes, did not win any states or electoral votes in the election.

-== Early life and career ==
-A [[military brat]], Helmick was born at [[Fort Sherman (Idaho)|Fort Sherman, Idaho]]. His father, Major General [[Eli Alva Helmick]] (1863-1945) served as a commander in both the [[Spanish–American War]] and [[World War I]].
+Whitmer, running with [[Texas]] Representative [[Greg Casar]] as Vice Presidential candidate, had run primarily on an economic policy of [[free trade]] and [[Tax cut|tax cuts]] for middle-income Americans, collectively known as [[Bidenomics|"Gretchenomics"]], as a solution for pulling America out of the [[Great Recession|Second Great Recession]], which Whitmer tied to the Trump presidency's high [[Tariff|tariffs]]. Additionally, Whitmer promised to protect [[Trade union|trade unions]], as well as sign into law the [[Women's Health Protection Act|Amber Nicole Thurman Women's Health Protection Act]] in light of the [[abortion-rights movement]].

Youngkin also focused on foreign policy, particularly in brokering an international peace settlement for the ongoing [[Russo-Ukrainian War]]. Trump Jr. was vehemently opposed to the abortion-rights movement, and wished to maintain the economic policies of his father's administration; as a result, many analysts deemed Trump Jr's campaign as "reactionary".
-Charles Helmick entered the [[United States Naval Academy]] at [[Annapolis, Maryland|Annapolis]] in 1909. After completing his studies, Helmick was unexpectedly commissioned in the [[United States Army]], as a [[Second lieutenant]]. He saw service on the Mexican border before being sent to France with the [[15th Field Artillery Regiment (United States)|15th Field Artillery Regiment]] in 1918. After the war was over, Helmick served stateside on a number of Field Artillery posts.
+Due to a split right-wing ticket, Whitmer won the election overwhelmingly, winning 454 electoral votes in the largest presidential landslide victory since [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]]. Youngkin, as a result of split votes in red states, won 15 states and 84 electoral votes, though lost his home state of Virginia in an extreme upset. Trump Jr., despite winning over 25 million votes, did not win any states or electoral votes in the election.
-== World War II ==
-In June 1941, Helmick was transferred to the [[Army of the United States]] and assigned the rank of [[Colonel]], serving as chief of the Budget Branch of the [[United States Department of War|Department of War]]'s General Staff.
