Is Biden still alive? I don't see him under any endorsements categories.

Interesting

Is Biden still alive? I don't see him under any endorsements categories.

Yeah, I forgot to add him. Fixed

[Edgeofnight]

Yeah, I forgot to add him. Fixed

Good to see. Excited to see where this goes! Any plans to do an endorsement segment for the Republicans?

Thanks! And yeah, I think the next or one of the next Republican PoVs will have endorsements.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

With Tony Evers being able to block Republican gerrymanders in Wisconsin (which would almost certainly results in WI-01 being more much more Democratic, since it would gain the Democratic city of Whitewater, lose its portion of Republican Waukesha County, and gain the remainder of Democratic Rock County), and the way you have Democrats winning big in 2022 in this timeline, how does Paul Ryan still survive?

As you are covering the 2024 presidential election in this timeline, which happens after the next reapportionment, I figured I would post the projected reapportionment changes in this thread so that you know what you are working with in this timeline:

Ryan was a popular incumbent (especially after he became Minority Leader) and Dems didn't really gerrymander the district, but he's retiring in 2024.

It will not. MT-02 is currently on track to be seat 436, which means that the state is barely missing out on gaining a seat, although if you look at the difference in the priority values of seat 435 and 436, the difference is actually substantial, so the confidence level is high.

When's the next update

Soon enough, I hope. I don't have much free time for the rest of September due to army recruit training I have to do between year 1 and 2 of university.

Larry

"Thank you, New Hampshire! Thank you! Let's go forward and win this!" Former Governor Larry Hogan smiled and waved to the small, clapping crowd in his recent townhall and left through the backdoor. Quickly enough, he was escorted into the back of his large campaign track, where TV screens with various news channels dotted the walls and computer screens full of polling and analysis were everywhere. And they started driving on, to the next townhall.

For the past weeks, his campaign has been doing everything possible to canvasse that state. They did run some ads and made some appearances in Iowa and Nevada, but New Hampshire was essentially the dominating state in their campaign. After all, he sensed an opening there- there was no Trump this time, and neither Pence nor Kelly really had what it takes to be popular there. The only other candidate who truly had a strong appeal in the state was Paul.

Of course, even if he won New Hampshire, Larry would have very little chance to win the nomination, and even if he won the nomination, he'd have very little chance to win the election, with Trump and the Republicans so unpopular. But he at least had to try. Larry was sure that of all the Republican candidates, he was the one with the strongest chances to win the general, and many Republicans knew it- this was why he got the endorsements of essentially the entire moderate Republican class.

"Governor!" A staffer approached him, carrying a cellphone. "Jud Gregg is calling you. He wants to talk about an endorsement."

Larry smiled- yet another major figure from the state to increase his chances. He'll get another boost and so, he'd keep trudging on through the Granite State, and hoping that the polls would keep improving and a miracle would happen.

Richard

"Look, Pete, I understand what you're saying," Governor Cordray said, giving his voice an empathic tone. "Fresh ideas are important. Our campaign brought many fresh ideas, such as our suggested immigration reform plan, and I can promise that in a Cordray Administration, we'll take advice and involve many young, bright minds committed to our agenda. But experience is important, too- I served as Treasurer and Attorney General in Ohio, fighting for the people of my state; I fought tooth and nail for the American consumer as the very first Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; I have close to two terms in office as Governor of the great state of Ohio, with very successful results and high approvals; and I was our party's Vice Presidential nominee last time around, giving me valuable experience on the trail. Now, Mr. Governor, I worked with you on many issues and I loved a lot of what you've done, but with all due respect, and there's a lot of it, you didn't even complete your first term as Governor of Indiana."

The debate stage seemed to grow warmer as Pete Buttigieg, standing two podiums to Richard's right, prepared for a rebuttal. "I think Mr. Cordray's missing an important point here," Pete said with his usual relaxed smile. "He's not the only one on this stage with valuable and strong experience. Quite the contrary. Every single man and woman on this stage has been a great public servant with impressive accomplishmets for the American people, whether as a legislator, an executive, or both. So while I have great respect for Governor Cordray's great service to the American people, I think it's wrong, and a bit preposterous, to suggest he's the experienced candidate. I, for one, strongly believe in my own resume- I'm very proud of the work I've done with a team of great people in South Bend, completely transforming the city from a declining town with rising unemployment to a rising city popular with youths. In Indiana, I did the same, investing in alternative energy and job training to create new jobs, which lead my state to be included in Time's list of "Top 10 States experiencing resurgence in 2022".

"Well, and I respect that," Richard replied immediately. Annoyingly, he felt that he was sweating a bit. It couldn't have been a good look. "But personally, I wouldn't leave the job my state elected me to do before even a single term has expire. What makes me the most qualified candidate on this field, I believe, is that I don't only have a lifetime of fighting for working Americans, but I also have experience on the national stage as a Vice Presidential nominee. I can campaign. I can win."

"With all the adoration I have for Senator Gillibrand, Mr. Cordray, she did lose the election," Buttigieg pointed out. "You were on the ticket, and you lost. I'm not sure that's a very positive experience, and doesn't really prove that you can win, but rather that you can lose."

"I..." Richard stopped himself before he could stutter and botch that answer. "I believe it's an unfair point. The majority of the American people voted for the Gillibrand\Cordray ticket; we won the popular vote. I can, and will, win the electoral college too."

"Senator Hickenlooper," the moderator, Elaine Quijano, turned to another candidate. "You've made experience an important theme of your campaign. Do you have any response."

"I sure do," John replied and looked at Rich, making clear who he's going to target, like most everyone else in that debate. "I think Governor Cordray is forgetting who he's standing on this stage here. I have two whole terms as Governor, something no one on this stage other than Mr. Chafee and myself can boast, and I have several years in the Senate now. I even have two terms as Mayor of Denver, a very big city. So I think that I have the right ideas and experience to implement them. Under a Hickenlooper administration, the rate of achievements and reforms will produce will be like like a factory of positive changes for the American people. Claiming that Governor Cordray is the most qualified candidate here is, well, misleading."

"I meant the most qualified progressive candidate, Mr. Hickenlooper," Rich gave his feisty reply. This, of course, lead to a heated exchange between the two, in which John touted his progressive achievements while Rich pointed to the Senator's joint healthcare plan with a conservative like Kasich and his past support of fracking.

The rest of the debate continued on similar lines- Cordray was at the center of attention, having to deflect barbs and attacks from the candidates around him, which proved hard. Pete continued performing well and producing strong soundbites and ansswers. Kyrsten Sinema tried to produce as many headlines as possible, positioning herself as the resident maverick and attacking the Democratic leadership, especially Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, as "very weak on Trump", and promising that as President she'd work to bring fresh ideas into congressional leadership and force congress to work again. Ralph positioned himself as the moderate, hammering the others on extremism but not doing much to gain new bases. Gavin used his charisma and positioned himself as the anti-Trump, constantly targetting the President and promising to erase the last eight years. Gretchen got a bit absorbed in the background- she wasn't as charismatic as other candidates and didn't have a very special experience or story, which caused her to struggle for attention, but she still had a strong performance. John's highlight was his feud with Richard, but he managed to keep himself visible for most of the debate and gave some solid answers. Tulsi had some major gaffes, including saying that "Assad and Putin aren't big problems" and attacking Newsom and Buttigieg as "swamp monsters", which gave them sympathy and damaged her, leading to Trump comparisons. Cory kept trying to get attention, but his philosopher-king style seemed to bore the audience and he was barely a factor. Finally, Lincoln Chafee had a few points of attention, such as a renewed call to switch to the metric system, but was mostly a non-factor.

Post debate polls showed a dangerous image for Richard's status as frontrunner. Following that debate, he scheduled several debate-prep sessions with Senator Warren and other suppporters.

Matt

Matt Bevin clutched hid podium, trying to smile to the audience despite the infuriating words being spoken by his opponent, Larry Hogan. "I'm a Christian. I love God, I love Jesus. But that doesn't mean I should be advocating theocratic measures that instill my faith into the government. Our founding fathers promoted the separation of church and state for a reason- if you mix the two, they corrupt each other. But some of my colleagues here clearly disagree with our funding fathers. Senator Bevin, as Governor of Kentucky, aggressively tried to cover up his economic failures by starting illegal crusades, such as against Planned Parenthood and starting a so-called 'prayer patrol' because he couldn't effectively combat crime. And Mr. Pence here, in his 2000 congressional campaign, promoted the use of federal money to fund conversion therapy. He opposed giving gay Americans the right to serve their country in the military. Folks, this is not patriotism. This is not Republicanism. This is not fiscal responsibility. This is just plain extremism. We shouldn't get into these types of culture wars- what we should be doing is fighting for tax cuts, fighting to reduce our debt, fighting for economic growth. It's the economy that matters, people's pockets, not who prays the hardest."

Annoyingly, the debate's moderator, Wolf Blitzer, turned to Mike Pence rather than to Matt, the man who was attacked more by Larry, for a comment. The Senator from Kentucky tried not to frown as the Vice President begun his answer. "Well, I think that Governor Hogan using old and debunked lies created by Democrats is... is unfourtunate. The economy is absolutely my focus- I was part of the efforts by this wonderful administration to pass the tax cuts we needed so much, and I speak about our debt every day. However, Governor Hogan is probably trying to hide his left-wing social positions by avoiding the issue of abortion- it's crucial that we pass bans preventing abortions on babies that can feel pain and prevent their murder, and it's crucial that we overturn the biased Roe v. Wade decision."

Before they could move on, Matt spoke up. "Wolf, I'd like to comment, since Governor Hogan attacked me, too."

Blitzer. "Very well. Your comment, Senator Bevin?"

The Senator started speaking. He was the most recent rising star of the Democratic primaries, reaching double digits in many polls and threatening Pence in Iowa, and he intended to have a strong debate. He had to out-Iowa Mike. "Larry Hogan's ungodly and anti-Christian comments do not surprise me. He was Governor of a state in which the majority has no respect for the Lord, and had to pander to these people to get elected and re-elected. He's trying to attack my advocacy for prayer and for my faith, and talk about the economy as if he understands anything about fiscal conservativism- well, I won't let him. I won't let Governor Hogan hide his repulsive pro-abortion position. You, Governor, are a liberal, and unlike the people of your state, the people in mine are God-fearing Jesus-loving Christians, who loved my pro-Jesus measures, just like I know our great party will!"

Larry Hogan just chuckled in response, which annoyed Bevin even more. "This is truly one of the most bizarre rants I ever saw, if I have to be honest. No, I'm not a 'liberal', Senator Bevin. I support and always supported Americans' second amendment rights and while, yes, I didn't unnecessarily fight the people of my state on the issue of abortion, I've always been pro-life, as the records show. So you're either uninformed, or you're lying to the American people. And I don't think you can boast about the popularity of your policies in Kentucky, Senator, considering the fact that you lost your re-election to a liberal like Alison Lundergan Grimes, who just won re-election last night despite your campaigning for her opponent."

This sent Senator Bevin scrambling for words. He had to find a witty, crushing response fast, or this debate would be lost. "I... I... I was elected Senator by the people of my state just one year after this loss, a fact that you, Governor, seem to be forgetting. If any of us has policies unpopular with our states, it's you Governor, because you wasn't elected to the Senate and I was. The people of Kentucky love me, and that's a fact." That was when Matt realized that he just made it worse.

The rest of the debate went normally- Matt wasn't able to recover from his flop and just faded into the background for the rest of the debate. A central part of it was the dispute between Paul and Kelly, who fought fiercely throughout the whole thing. Pence also had a respectable screentime, managing to appear statesman-like and collected while hammering in his being Trump's Vice President again and again. The two who seemed to have the most trouble gaining attention were Haley and Cotton- two top-tier candidates, on the paper, who just seemed too boring and pale in comparison to the rest. Haley got in some decent lines about her extensive Washington-outsider experience while Cotton touted his Trump support in the Senate, but the two didn't seem to gain much ground. Josh Hawley did pretty well, giving some charismatic and conservative answers, while Pruitt was mostly in the background, even though he had a moment to shine when the environment was the main topic and his hardline answer got him some cheering from the audience. Larry Hogan seemed like the most polarizing figure- he got booed by the audience often, but it was clear he had a great debate performance, using his sharp elbows and tongue, especially in his take-down of Matt. Sasse seemed to fade even more than Haley and Cotton, with his only highlight being a bold attack on the Trump administration's integrity and on Mike Pence, while Flake and Perry were basically non-factors, though the latter got some attention for new, red glasses he brought which seemed especially flamboyant.

[Cold War Liberal]

I'm torn! I love Larry Hogan in this but watching Mike Pence lose to an openly gay man would be cathartic... Hmm...

[America Needs R'hllor]

LOL at Bevin.

Also, I didn't realize he lost re-election in 2019, I would put Beshear as the governor and Grimes as the Senator in 2022.

I would too in light of Beshear's announcement, but I already had him beating Rand Paul in 2022, so decided to stay the course and just make this change.

Jason

"Here she goes," Jason whispered to his fellow Governor. "This is our chance to get the momentum we need and win Iowa. Let's hope she delivers." Pete just nodded, his eyes locked on the woman speaking a few meters away from them.

"The past years have been hard for all of us." Governor Cathy Glasson stood before the podium, facing a large and friendly crowd of Iowa Democrats. "We've watched our President attacking one Democratic institute after the other, eroding the foundations of our great nation. We've heard him attacking whole groups of Americans and smearing the honour of his office. But most importantly, we've watched Americans everywhere suffering from his policies- myself, I had a frontseat to seeing the farmers and workers of my state suffering from this President's disastrous trade policies. And all around us, in our nation's heartland, we saw how the great promise brought by Trump's populist rhetoric was shattered, and the people of our states realized that he won't be making America great again."

Cathy paused, letting the crowd sound a short boo for Trump before continuing. "But it hasn't been all bad, my friends. Our states elected great Governors and representatives in these years, people who care about the farmers and workers, the women and minorities, care about all Americans. Together, we've worked to thwart the bad policies of this administration and instead, worked to improve the situation of our constituents, including medicare funding, infaustracture projects, clean energy innovations and much more. In Iowa, we've managed to cut back unemployment, increase union membership exponentially to protect our workers, and rebuild our broken roads. While President Trump was failing to do anything, we've truly made Iowa great again!"

The crowed cheered for her, filling the open space with their cries. "Cathy! Cathy! Cathy!" At that moment, Jason was glad she wasn't running for President.

The Governor continued. "The Democratic candidates for President this year are all wonderful public servants, all of them. They represent our country's bright future, full of energy and new ideas. But if we want to defeat the Republican nominee, we need someone who represents something important- change. Hope. Someone who proved himself capable of delivering on his promises, but is a fresh face, untainted by Washington corruption and gridlock. And I know just the person."

"Mayor Pete! Mayor Pete! Mayor Pete!" The crowd screamed enthusiastically.

Cathy smiled at them gracefully. "For the past four years, I got to know and work with Governor Buttigieg. We were part of a group of midwestern Governors who truly want to bring change and progress to their state, who worked together due to the wonderful idea of Governor Jason Kander, who spoke here before me. We united, shared ideas and resisted the Trump administration together. What I learned is that Governor Pete Buttigieg is the man we need right now- bright and smart, an amazing Governor who cares about the people of his state and yet remains humble and connected to his roots. He can beat whoever the Republicans come up with. He can lead America to a bright, progressive future. This is why today, I'm officially announcing my enthusiastic support and endorsement of Governor Pete Buttigiege for President in 2024!"

The crowed erupted in cheers, shouting Governor Glasson's name and Pete's too. Cathy's speech got even more cheering than Jason's speech introducing her. It made sense- this was Des Moines, Iowa, her hometurf. "So now prepare to cheer for him as hard as you can!" Cathy shouted. "Let me introduce the Governor of Indiana and the next President of the United States, Pete Buttigieg!"

Jason Kander smiled as the Governor advanced, smiling to the crowd, which was going wild, receiving him as a rockstar. In the past weeks, it looked increasingly likely that the Governor of Missouri chose the wild horse four years ago- Pete was the rising star of the Democratic field after his strong performance in the second and third debate, and seemed to be gaining an increasing following. He was charismatic and relateable, traveling the country with his spouse and supporters, holding townhalls and personally talking with supporters. It was like he felt natural with the simple crowds. All of that scared the other candidates, especially Rich Cordray, the frontrunner, who got an important endorsement from progressive champion Jeff Merkley but seemed to be losing ground. So they started airing attack ads against him, targeting his record as Mayor and Governor and trying to paint him as an elitist, but it barely left a scratch. There just wasn't much substantial to attack him with.

With Iowa less than a month away, the race was reaching an important point- and Jason hoped that in that crucial time, his candidate would remain strong. If Pete was elected President, Governor Kander, who served as his campaign co-chairman, would have a strong ally in the White House. He didn't really think about the Vice Presidency, but it could help him reach the Senate in the future, or maybe get a nice cabinet appointment. And most importantly, America would have a leader again.

Why is Newsom winning New Hampshire?

He's investing a lot of resources in that state and is generally appealing to it with messaging that fits it. Remember, this is the state that voted Clinton over Obama- it tends to vote weirdly. Also, he managed to earn the support of important NH figures, so he's a top contender in that state. Whether he'll win it... well, we'll see, but it's pretty much a must for his campaign if he wants to win.
