The United States presidential election of 2016 was held on November 8, 2016 and was the 57th consecutive quadrennial election for President and Vice President of the United States. The election coincided with the 2016 Senate elections, House of Representatives elections, and gubernatorial elections, as well as many regional and local elections.

Democratic candidate Whitney Mason, the Governor of Appalachia, defeated Republican candidate David Gamble, the Governor of the Mid-Atlantic. The election is widely considered a disaster for the Republican Party, it being their second largest defeat in terms of the electoral college vote in over 50 years and their first presidential election loss in 20 years.
