1988 United States presidential election

The 1988 United States presidential election will be held on November 8th, 1988. The current major candidates include Reform Party President Oliver Nichelini, running with New Liberal Senator Harry Peters. However, Vice President Michael Schultz is the running made of American Conservative Joshua Cruz, a Senator from Bluegrass. However, for the first time, the Loony Party, now considered a major force in U.S. politics, is running a candidate, as Senator from Sequoia Eleanor Aquitaine is running alongside Carl The Helper, a turtle from Bluegrass.

The campaign begun when Cruz announced his candidacy in November 1987, with Aquitaine announcing shortly after. Nichelini made clear he would run in January, and other candidates did pop up, including former U.S. Representative Iron Smith of the Constitution Party, and former U.S. Representative Phil Collins.

None were forced to go through the primary process, as all were unopposed in their bids. However, New Liberal Harry Peters (later running mate of Nichelini) and Independent Alex Kenney both announced bids, yet they dropped out.
