Sheldon Johnson, Jr. Runs in 2016 (Johnsonverse sub-timeline)

NOTE: This scenario is non-canon to the main Johnsonverse timeline. On January 1, 2015, Sheldon Johnson, Jr. announced his intentions to run in the 2016 US presidential election as a Democrat. After winning many Democratic contests in 2016, he became the presumptive nominee on June 6 and selected retired Army National Guard lieutenant colonel and Illinois' 8th district representative Tammy Duckworth on July 22, before becoming the official nominee on July 26.

On November 8, Johnson and Duckworth defeated Republican candidates Donald Trump and Mike Pence in the general election. They were sworn in as the 45th president and 48th vice president, respectively, on January 20, 2017. They were projected to have defeated Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Nikki Haley on November 7, 2020, four days after the general election was held.
