Walt Whitman 2016 presidential campaign

The 2016 Walt Whitman presidential campaign was a re-election campaign for the 2016 United States presidential election by President of the United States Walt Whitman, who took office on January 20, 2013.

Walt Whitman began his reelection campaign just after the 2014 midterm elections. He officially filed his campaign with the Federal Election Commission on February 2015, Whitman held more than 68 rallies and fundraisers for this campaign. He has visited key electoral states. The campaign has raised funds and ran two nationwide advertising campaigns. Whitman said in several stump speeches that the slogans for the 2016 race would be "Whitman all the way!" and "Promises Kept, America!". On June 25, 2015, Whitman confirmed that Vincent Brewer would be his vice presidential running mate in 2016, replacing Vice President Jim Crawford, who became Vice President after the resignation of Vice President Tom Walker. Whitman's reelection bid was ultimately unsuccessful; on November 9, 2016, most major news outlets officially projected that the Democratic Party ticket of John Calvin II and George Nelson had defeated Whitman and Brewer.
