McClellan winning the 1864 election is used as a part of a lot of CSA wins timelines, but there hasn't been much done with the electoral victory as a POD in itself. So what if McClellan wins the 1864 election? While it is out there in possibility, McClellan could win if you flip the close states of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New Hampshire, as well as Indiana, Wisconsin, and Michigan, which were all within a margin of 20,000 votes.

The thing with a McClellan victory is that Lincoln is still in office until March of 1865. By then the Civil War is already practically over already in OTL, but with Lincoln losing the election I'd think he would do all that he could to ensure the war is over and the CSA has surrendered by the time he leaves office. So what would a McClellan presidency look like in this case?

Here's the possible electoral map.
