Hillary Clinton administration (2017-present)
Hillary Clinton (D) and her running mate, Tim Kaine, defeated a Republican ticket of Jeb Bush/Mike Pence in the 2016 presidential election. Clinton continued most of Obama’s policies in her first term, and was re-elected in 2020, beating a GOP ticket of Ron DeSantis/Ben Shapiro.

Some of Clinton’s first acts in her second term were granting statehood to the District of Columbia (renamed as Douglass Commonwealth) and the US territories of American Samoa, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, Fuzhou, and Trishel, as well as the Selenian colony of New States and the massive inhabited space station Destiny. Clinton presided over the Mexican Drug Civil Wars, which led to the Republic of Maya Coast, Second Republic of Yucatan, and Republic of Michoacan being formed and lobbying for admission to the United States.
