Overview
Are your students ready to be the next President of the United States?
Win the White House puts them in charge of their own presidential campaign.
As presidential candidates, they will pick a slogan and develop arguments to support issues that resonate with voters. Students will need to raise funds to support their campaign, poll voters, and gain momentum through targeted media campaigns and personal appearances. But keep an eye on the Electoral Vote tally as the decision day draws near.
