How Does the Competition Work?

  • 12 people are chosen by users of the MainStream Nation app to compete as contestants on President-Elect and face challenges designed to test their fitness for the nation’s highest elected office.
     

  • Each week, the audience uses the app to eliminate contestants and the last one standing wins the support of the app’s voter base and the national recognition needed to run a winning campaign.

Could the Winner Run for President?

  • The show’s reach will expand in proportion to its impact on the political media landscape. Candidates will gain visibility and momentum that can carry over to the coverage of the general election following the season finale.
     

  • The winner of President-Elect may enjoy the kind of brand awareness and earned media experienced by non-establishment candidates in recent presidential elections as voters consider their ability to run a viable campaign for president without the support of any established political party.​

What Will I See on the Show?

  • This fast-paced primary packs more drama and substance into one season than is found in most 4-year election cycles as viewers follow their favorite candidates face tough competition.
     

  • Challenges involving high-risk military decision-making, economic vision, diplomatic skill, knowledge of governance, and political instinct.
