Campaign modes

Play alone against the computer or compete against other people in multiplayer. In a general election, run against the opposing party’s nominee and seek the 270 electoral votes needed on election day. In the primaries, compete against three candidates from your own party, beginning before the Iowa Caucus and continuing through the convention, to win the nomination by securing the most delegates. Focusing on key caucus states early can give you a competitive edge.

Candidates and ideology

Each candidate has custom stats, including stamina, intelligence, charisma and media bias. Candidates also have their own ideologies, distinguishing figures within the same party, such as Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris among Democrats, or Vivek Ramaswamy and Mike Pence among Republicans. You can also create and customize a candidate of your own.

Campaign strategy

Use speeches to state your position on pivotal issues, endorsing or contesting topics in chosen states or exposing an opponent’s stance. During presidential debates, candidates address pressing issues in a selected battleground state; you can express support or opposition, challenge an opponent’s position and risk negative reactions from the audience. Manage your stamina as you campaign.

You can spend your campaign budget on advertisements, travel and operatives who improve your public relations or hinder an opponent. Build specialized campaign headquarters to increase funding, provide valuable cards or amplify your messaging. Poll tracking and leaderboards show how candidates are performing and which issues they support over time.
