Jack Kemp was almost impeached, had many members of his cabinet resign (including his Vice President, Alexander Haig), and created an international scandal when he authorized a full-scale military invasion of the Republic of the Pacific, one of the United States' two new breakaway republics. Many international leaders decried the invasion, and it boosted the Socialists and Progressives in the polls. It was the first time in years that the Progressives put forth their own candidate, as they usually just endorsed Socialist candidates. Kemp was immensley unpopular entering the election, and many had projections of Harkin beating him by a large margain.

abstract
  • Jack Kemp was almost impeached, had many members of his cabinet resign (including his Vice President, Alexander Haig), and created an international scandal when he authorized a full-scale military invasion of the Republic of the Pacific, one of the United States' two new breakaway republics. Many international leaders decried the invasion, and it boosted the Socialists and Progressives in the polls. It was the first time in years that the Progressives put forth their own candidate, as they usually just endorsed Socialist candidates. Kemp was immensley unpopular entering the election, and many had projections of Harkin beating him by a large margain. Tom Harkin, Senator of Iowa, won the Socialists nomination. Many believed whoever won the Socialist nomination would go on to beat Kemp, no matter who he was, due to his massive unpopularity. Harkin chose Arkansas governor Bill Clinton as his Vice President, a strong opponent in the Socialist primaries. The Moderate Party endorsed Harkin for president. The Progressives, who normally ran on the coattails of Socialists in presidential elections, made a rare move by putting forth it's own candidate, Senator Al Gore of Tennessee. Gore chose representative Dick Gephardt of Missouri to be his running mate. Kemp won more electoral votes than Gore, but Gore won more votes in the popular vote. Kemp was the first incumbent president to come in third in the popular vote of a presidential election in the modern election era. Gore's running mate, Dick Gephardt, was also Socialist Mario Cuomo's running mate in 1988.
