In The War That Came Early, Franklin D. Roosevelt receives the Democratic nomination in 1940 as he was in OTL. This is the only election depicted in the series.

In Colonization, Hubert Humphrey is the nominee in the 1964 election, the only election depicted in the overall Worldwar franchise.

Other Nominees
In The War That Came Early, the Republican Party fractures during the 1940 election. While Wendell Willkie is the primary nominee for the party, Alf Landon is the nominee for the isolationist wing.

In Colonization trilogy, Earl Warren is the Republican nominee in 1960 and 1964, although only the 1964 election is depicted within Turtledove's actual work.

Southern Victory
Throughout the 20th century, the Socialist Party became a viable opposition party to the historically dominant Democrats.

Other Nominees
George McClellan runs as an Independent in the 1864 election in The Guns of the South. He loses, but he does carry two states.

Norman Thomas is the Socialist candidate in 1932 in the novel Joe Steele as he was in OTL. His impact on the election appears to be a irrelevant as it was in OTL, as well.
