United States Presidential Election, 2012 (The FDR Amendment)

The United States presidential election of 2012 was the 57th quadrennial American presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. The Republican nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and his running mate, Governor of Indiana Mike Pence defeated Democratic nominee, incumbent President John F.

Trump was a dark horse candidate during the election and was thought to be defeated by the Democratic Kennedy but surprisingly Trump defeated Kennedy in the electoral college while Kennedy defeated Trump in every other category.
