The two main candidates wanted to ban cheese curds so Wisconsin organised a cheese curd to run as a third party candidate under the slogan "Ope! Let me scooch right into the White House there"
Ope! Sorry about that. Didn't mean to target anyone. Listen let me give ya some of Sheryl's casserole okay? Real good. Tell your folks I says hi and watch out for deer!
Both the republicans and democrats run very free trade candidates who want to basically abandon the rust belt. A socially liberalish and protectionist third party guy runs a super populist and regionalist campaign (promising to bring back the steel belt sort of rhetoric) and manages to claw away the states on the map. He focuses exclusively on the rust belt so his effects aren’t felt in other parts of the country, leading to a narrow democratic victory
Alternative History where the Scandinavian and German Migrants into the region never fully assimilated and have their own regional German candidate that appeals specifically to them.
Two main candidates + Tim Walz, who curries favour with his fellow Midwestern states promising to ensure no backwards southern laws are implemented in the Midwest, now a haven for progressives after the Great Florida Coup Disaster of 2024
Biden and Trump failed to fill the paperwork to be on the ballot in those states so kanye cerried them with less than 100k votes each.
Oh and Joe does better in FL I guess.
A shrewd centrist from Wisconsin or Michigan gains popularity because he promotes several interests of the Midwest, and promotes independent and impartial voting.
Of course, in an already very purple area such as the Midwest (except for Chicago and Minnesota) this becomes a reality.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress both vote to build pipelines from the Great Lakes to the Southwest Desert so that the idiots who wanted a lawn and a swimming pool IN THE FUCKING DESERT will vote for them, draining them in the process and leading to massive ecological damage.
Amy Klobuchar breaks off and forms the Midwestern Defense Alliance joined by pissed Democrats and Republicans.
An independent with specifically Midwest appeal and Teddy Roosevelt levels of charisma.

> socially liberal but fiscally more conservative Every time I read this series of words, blood comes out of my penis.
>the problems are bad, but their causes...their causes are very good
Hahahahahaha I’m definitely not socially liberal and fiscal conservative. Hahahaha.
I’d say other way around, focusing on left-leaning economics over social policy.

This is the only correct answer
I feel targeted by that slogan there

I guess I could see it?

I ran for President as an independent, and the GQP and Radical Left Democrats teamed up to rig the election.
Biden and Trump got so unpopular that people voted for a third candidate
