Election Night 2056: The Fate of America

I better be a Senator from Maine.

So, in this alignment, is the GOP more socially liberal, globalist, and less anti-Government (I'd guess so, given the way the map looks)?

You've hit the nail on the head! The GOP is sort of a technocratic center-right party these days. They still sort of have an evangelical wing, but overall the party's not even close to the social conservatism it had in the Bush-Trump era. President Richardson is no Mike Pence. Meanwhile, the Democrats have slowly but surely gotten more economically populist, culminating in the candidacy of Anna Byrd.

President Richardson only lost the DC suburbs overall by 1 point, 48-49, four years ago. This time around, polling indicates that he might actually win the DC suburbs, a first for the GOP in a long, long time. Either way, the DC suburbs aren't won by nearly the kinds of margins as they were in elections past, which allows the rest of their states to control the political landscape. Maryland is Democratic because of its Baltimore metro area, Virginia was Republican four years ago because the state's southern region voted so heavily Republican.

Also, yeah, Thomas Rhinoceros is an excellent fit for the state of Illinois. He's played an instrumental role over the years in helping the state transition politically from a solid Democratic state into a likely Republican one.

I better be a Senator the Governor from Maine New York.

Can Israeli Foreign Minister Tom Parrotstein congratulate the winner thx
Also, this is awesome (and amusing)!

I can oblige these requests, no problem! Sadly I doubt I'll have the opportunity to reference New York's other Senator or Florida's delegation because neither state has a Class 2 Senator, and well, Maine doesn't have any Democratic Senators to speak of

I'll be a socialist RINO if that's okay.

Works for me. New England can be... idiosyncratic, so it works! I'll just need a name to work with!

edit: alternatively, I can reference you as the state's popular Governor

Governor sounds good. I'd like to be known as "the MAINEiac", a nickname almost as frequently used as my real name, which would be something Italian.
