IOTL, President Grover Cleveland holds the distinction of being the only man to be President twice, as he was first elected in 1884, then defeated narrowly in 1888, before coming back in 1892. He lost in 1888 because he failed to hold two extremely narrow and competitive swing states, Indiana...

So let’s say that somehow someway Grover Cleveland wins re-election over Benjamin Harrison in the 1888 Presidential Election. 1892 rolls around and William McKinley is elected Presidency. The Panic of 1893 still happens (unless a second Cleveland term would have prevented it) causing the...

Would Theodore Roosevelt have ever become President if McKinley had survived his assassination attempt?

First, to check, how plausible do you think it is for William McKinley and/or the Republican Party to pick this man to be the running mate in 1900? Second (if it is at least somewhat plausible), supposing this had happened and that McKinley was still assassinated September 1901 - what is his...

President McKinley surviving his assassination is a popular POD in several TLs, especially those dealing with a leftist America such as the phenomenal Reds! However, what would actually happen had McKinley lived? A different 1910s? A continued Gilded Age? Socialism? WW1 under another president?

Carnations Forever If William McKinley Had Survived Hello, and welcome to my first-ever TL! I've been here for a little over two years now, so I figured that it was about time I contributed something to the board instead of loafing around and begging for likes. I jest, of course. Before we...
