Harold Stassen was assassinated on December 3, 1975 by Robert Cole Brown. George Romney was inaugurated as the 38th President of the United States. Following the inauguration of Ronald Reagan two years later, an Amendment was passed that would allow a President to nominate a new Vice President following a vacancy in the position, with confirmation from both the House and the Senate.
[2] Ronald Reagan remains a Democrat after becoming dissatisfied with the first Goldwater administration in 1968.
[3] Donald Trump, in this timeline, served as the Governor of New York from 1983 until is inauguration in 1989. Bill Clinton kept his biological father's name in this timeline, and therefore goes by "Bill Blythe III".
[4] After volunteering for Barry Goldwater's campaign as a high school senior, Hillary Rodham met and started dating Barry Goldwater, Jr. Eventually, the two became married. Hillary remained a Republican for the rest of her life.
[5] Barack Obama is a Republican in this timeline after becoming inspired by how the second Goldwater administration turned the economy around.
[6] Ted Cruz became a Democrat in this timeline after Canadian healthcare saved his life as a child.
