The 2016 United States elections were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016. The presidential election ended in an historic tie wherein neither President Selina Meyer nor opposition candidate Bill O'Brien received a majority of electoral votes. After a deadlocked vote in Congress, the vice presidential vote in the Senate elected Laura Montez to be president. The opposition party retained control of Congress.
Meyer won her party's nomination after defeating Danny Chung and several other candidates in the 2016 presidential primaries, while O'Brien won his party's nomination.
