My Fellow Americans



My fellow Americans:

Last night President Donald J. Trump suffered cardiac arrest whilst in a meeting with some colleagues. The President was quickly taken to George Washington University Hospital, where he was immediately operated on. Unfortunately, the President did not pull through, and surrounded by his wonderful wife Melania and his 5 children, he passed away at 5:39pm, Eastern Standard Time. The President had just returned from a rally in support of our fantastic candidate for New Jersey Governor, Kim Guadagno.

Donald John Trump has had a fantastic record as President of the United States and will go down as one of the greatest in history. Thanks to President Trump, families are out of poverty and more people are working than ever before. Terminally ill patients are allowed experimental treatment. He has put the security of our country to the top of the agenda. Donald J. Trump's career of public service to our nation cannot be forgotten, and we thank him for everything he has done. President Trump has prepared our country for the future and it is now up to us to continue what he has started.

I know that I have not been elected to serve in this office, but I will make sure that we finish what President Trump started. I will carry out his agenda set out in 2016 and 2020. Trump wanted to help the working people, the families forgotten about by the establishment. This will be no different with me. This is a time for mourning, but President Trump would not want us to sit around and get nothing done. He wants us to get to work, as America has done before in many times of crisis.

I send my sincerest condolences to President Trump's friends and family. He has truly made America great again. His amazing life has had many achievements, but nothing more than what he has done for our country. I could not have asked for a better boss, friend and President. God bless you President Trump, and thank you for your service. I know that God is looking after you.

Thank you.

- Michael Richard Pence, the 46th President of the United States.

Going to skip to 2023, so we can finally get to the meat of this timeline.

A challenge?

JANUARY 21ST, 2023, WASHINGTON D.C - Rumors of a Marco Rubio primary challenge to Mike Pence were confirmed today when the recently re-elected Senator announced that he was forming an exploratory committee. He is the first to challenge the incumbent president, but he is likely not the last.

Anger from inside the GOP's moderate and Trumpian has been mounting since Mike Pence completely abandoned the late Donald Trump's agenda and instead pursued an evangelical Christian one, which moderate Republicans fear will render the party un-electable.

Their fears were confirmed after a dismal midterm result which resulted in the Democrats taking control of the Senate despite the fact that many felt that the Republicans could ride a wave of sympathy. Many are now calling for Pence to not run for a second term.

Rubio will likely be followed by former Ohio Governor John Kasich, President Trump's daughter Ivanka, and potentially former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan, although he is apparently waiting to see how the field grows before making any final decisions.

Meanwhile, on the Democratic side, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Joe Kennedy and newly-elected Senator Pete Buttigieg lead.

Did trump face a brief honeymoon increase in his approval after his death

Yes, and so did the GOP in general for a while - why they thought the midterms could've been so much better.

[Sir Mohamed]

I'd strongly support Gavin Newsom in such a Dem primary.

[President of the great nation of 🏳️‍⚧️]

Ah, what the hell. Senator Pete it is.

[Big Boy Beto]

Just a small update for this right now, I'm quite busy but I'll try to complete a larger update soon, I have some good plans for this.

Joe



Joe didn't want to be a tease. he wasn't that kind of guy. He was straightforward. He told Anderson Cooper that he was considering a run, and that all he needed was the green light from his family. We're talking about the Kennedys, so of course it was a yes.  He had called his aide and told her to begin organising a rally for the 9th of February, 2023.

Ivanka Trump had just formed an exploratory committee, and had skyrocketed in the Republican Primary polls. Joe had began to wonder she would be his challenger if he won the primaries, not Mike Pence, regardless if he runs for another term or not. He didn't think that the endorsement of Paul Ryan was a consolation prize for Mike.
 

However, the big shocker was when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez declined to run. She had said that she simply wasn't ready yet. Suddenly, Joe began to feel very confident about his chances.

President Pence to run for a full term


COLUMBUS, INDIANA (CNN) - Earlier today in his home town of Columbus, Indiana, President Mike Pence announced that he would seek the Republican nomination in 2024. The President had always presumed to run until the disappointing results of the mid-term elections last year, when his decision became less clear.

Pence, who wanted to run his campaign by stressing his ties to the popular former president Donald Trump, has had to find a different route after Trump's daughter Ivanka announced that she would challenge the incumbent president. Pence now seems to be running on the fact that he is the incumbent, by entering with 'Hail to the Chief' and having a giant presidential seal emblazoned on the wall behind him.

Pence is set to have the biggest primary challenge for an incumbent since Gerald Ford in 1976, who went on to lose the General Election to the now 98 year-old Jimmy Carter.

Joe Kennedy to seek the Democratic Nomination for President




BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS (CNN) - Joe Kennedy, a U.S Senator from Massachusetts announced that he was running for President just two days after incumbent Republican President Mike Pence announced that he was running.

"It is time to heal the wounds of division, it is time to rebuild our country" said the grandson of Robert Kennedy, who is the brother of John F. Kennedy during a rally in Boston where he announced his campaign.

Kennedy, a left leaning moderate, will travel to Iowa next week to begin speaking to voters, his campaign chairman announced.

Buttigieg is IN


SOUTH BEND, INDIANA (CNN) - Indiana senator Pete Buttigieg announced that he would run for President in 2024 earlier today. Buttigieg, who took office just months ago, is the only Democratic senator in a deeply red state and if he won, would be the youngest elected president in history at the age of 42. The senator's critics are calling him out for being a political opportunist, announcing his run for the White House before he has even set foot in the Capitol. Senator 'Pete' is currently flying high in the polls, ahead of Governor Gavin Newsom and neck and neck with Senator Joe Kennedy.

Murphy, Gabbard and Booker marred scandal

WASHINGTON D.C (CNN) Senators Chris Murphy, Tulsi Gabbard and Cory Booker have been marred in scandal recently, after being found to have offshore tax accounts in a leak that has been dubbed the "Belize Papers", in which over 9.4 million documents have been leaked. Booker and Murphy were potentially preparing to announce their run for President, whilst Senator Gabbard had already made it official. Chris Murphy has since announced that he would not seek another term as Senator, Gabbard and Booker have not commented.

Ivanka makes it official


NEW YORK, NEW YORK - (FOX) Earlier today, Ivanka Trump, the daughter and senior advisor of the late President Donald J. Trump announced her candidacy for President of the United States, primary-ing incumbent President Mike Pence. Trump has decided to use the infamous branding that her father used in his victorious 2016 and 2020 campaigns. Ivanka attacked Pence for "wrecking her father's legacy" and "abandoning the people". Trump is attempting to distance Pence from her father and is using the remnants of his populist wave as the basis for her campaign. She looks to be the biggest challenger to an incumbent President since Ronald Reagan challenged Gerald Ford in 1976, before Trump was even born.

Democratic candidates square off in debate


CNN - The first Democratic Primary debate was held earlier today in front of 25 million viewers. The most notable part of the debate was the absence of Booker and Gabbard, who are amidst a scandal. The star of the debate was Senator Pete Buttigieg came across as the most likeable and human and effectively appealed to people in the midwest. Senator Kennedy also managed to look good in the debate, coming off as as a sharp debater, successfully fending off attacks by Governor Abrams about his wealthy upbringing. Governor Newsom was the person who came off the worst in the debate, as he looked distant and avoided questions.

President Mike Pence has declined to have any debates with his challengers, Ivanka Trump and Marco Rubio.


CNN - Weekly News Roundup
JUN 15, 2024 - Hello and good morning. This has been another eventful week in politics and we're here to round it up quickly.

• Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York, a 2020 presidential candidate announced that she would not be running for President again in 2024, and instead endorsed Senator Joe Kennedy from Massachusetts.

.

• Pete Buttigieg came off glowing from the recent Democratic Presidential Primaries Debate, emotionally connecting with voters, emphasising his midwestern roots and sounding articulate and sharp at the same time. He has established himself as the solid frontrunner, with the 2nd placed candidate, the aforementioned Joe Kennedy trailing him by 4 points.

.

• President Mike Pence has declined to participate in any debates with his primary challengers Marco Rubio and Ivanka Trump, and as a result Trump has beaten him in a new poll released by FOX. This is a decision that may come to back to bite the President in his difficult election campaign.

Thank you for your time and we hope you have a great weekend.

Newsom Withdraws From the Race

After faltering in the first few Democratic Debates and a lack of funds, Gavin Newsom, once viewed as a frontrunner for the Democratic Nomination tearfully announced that he would be suspending his campaign, hot off of the heels of Marco Rubio's suspension and John Kasich declining to run.

The California governor entered the race in January as a favourite of the moderate wing of the party, although once Senator Kennedy (D-MA) entered the race his lane was quickly taken and a series of poor debate performances put the nail in his campaign's coffin.

It is likely that Newsom's remaining supporters will flock to Kennedy, although it is unknown if he or Governor Stacey Abrams (D-GA) can stop the rise of Indiana Senator Pete Buttigieg who placed third in the 2020 primaries.

2024 Electoral College: Our First Look (Sabato's Crystal Ball)


— Our initial Electoral College ratings reflect a 2024 presidential election that starts as a Toss-up, with the Electoral College leaning Republican and the popular vote leaning Democratic.

— We start with 247 electoral votes at least leaning Republican, 219 at least leaning Democratic, and 72 votes in the Toss-up category.

— The omissions from the initial Toss-up category that readers may find most surprising are Wisconsin and Georgia.

— Much of the electoral map is easy to allocate far in advance: About 70% of the total electoral votes come from states and districts that have voted for the same party in at least the last five presidential elections.

President Pence is facing an uphill battle to gain the Republican Nomination, and if he wins it he will an underdog for election. The president failed to capitalise on sympathy votes in the wake of the passing of President Donald Trump, despite his initial approval ratings in the seventies.

Despite this, his challenger, Ivanka Trump, is proving to be very popular, and we have had to take that into account in our ratings. She is consistently beating all of the Democratic candidates in nationwide polling, and usually by large margins in the Rust Belt states. However, there are other avenues opening for a Democratic candidate to win without the Rust Belt.

Our first ratings of the 2024 Electoral College show both parties within reach of victory, although the Republicans have an advantage. They start in the 240s in terms of electoral votes at least leaning to them, with just a handful of true Toss-ups to start.

The likely Republican states include Texas, Iowa, Ohio and Missouri, which has moved here from the safe column after a narrow loss for former Senator Roy Blunt and congressional losses for Republicans. The lean Republican states include districts in Maine and Nebraska, along with Florida, North Carolina. These states could represent another path for the Democratic Nominee, but more on this later. Wisconsin is also in this column, after slowly moving towards the right in recent elections, including the 2022 midterms. This state may move back to the Tossup column in the case of a strong Democratic nominee or a weak Republican nominee, but candidates like Ivanka Trump make Wisconsin likely to remain in the Republican column come election night.

The sole likely Democratic state is Colorado, after Virginia was moved to the safe column. Colorado may soon join Virginia in that category, but we have tried to keep the amount of safe states to a minimum.

The sole lean Democratic state is Minnesota, which narrowly went for Kamala Harris in 2020 whilst Nevada and New Hampshire flipped.

This moves us on to the tossups. Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, and Georgia, which has moved based on changing demographics and gains in the 2022 midterms. Of these, the Democratic candidate will be the marginal favourite in Nevada and New Hampshire, and the Republicans are the marginal favourites in Georgia, Michigan Pennsylvania, and Arizona, due to their small gains there in recent elections. If Ivanka Trump is the nominee the latter three will likely move into the lean column, however she will be weaker in the south.

The Republicans clearly have more paths than the Democrats to 270, however the most likely path for them is potentially not involving the Rust Belt. The most likely path for the Democrats if Ivanka Trump is the Republican nominee is flipping Nevada, Georgia, and Florida, and if Mike Pence is the Republican nominee the most likely path is flipping Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The current climate leads me to believe that this election tilts Republican, due to their small but steady advantage in the Rust Belt. However, the nominees for either party will greatly change this map.

Joe


It's surreal. It's like only yesterday Gavin withdrew from the race and Pete destroyed me in the debates. And today it's the day of the Iowa caucus. It's obvious that Iowa is Pete country, I just hope that we're in a good enough position for New Hampshire. The guy is a better Kennedy than I am! The overwhelming opinion is that the public like me, they just like him better. However, I have one thing Pete doesn't... I know people. I hope I don't have to play dirty, but I will if I have to, if it's for the sake of the party.


Joe had launched an onslaught of rallies, town halls, interviews and meet & greets in the last days of the Iowa campaign, trying to make up for lost time when they focused too much on the preceding debates. At some point in Iowa he was even polling behind Kyrsten Sinema. It was time, though. Joe sat down with his campaign team in their hotel at Des Moines and waited for the results to come in...


A Pleasant Surprise


Four More Years! Four More Years! Four More Years!" boomed the crowd as Mike walked out to the stage, the surprise victor of the Iowa caucus.

Thank you, thank you! God bless the state of Iowa!

After the polls closed, I received an extremely gracious phone call from Mrs. Trump, who congratulated us on our victory, and I congratulated her on the great campaign she ran here in Iowa. I know she only wants the best for our country. I wish her luck in the rest of her campaign, but of course, not too much luck!

My victory here tonight would not have been without all of you, knocking on doors, taking phone calls, donating and getting our message out there...

I'd like to thank my wife, my children Charlotte, Audrey and Michael, my mother Nancy, and my father Edward, who is with God right now... I know he is looking down on us right now, so proud of what we have achieved.

Together, we can continue to build a better America. Without your help we would not be standing here today. Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the great state of IOWA!

THE PRIMARIES

IT'S PETE

After storming to victory in the Iowa caucus, Senator Pete Buttigieg (D-IA) solidified his spot as the candidate to beat in the Democratic primaries, leaving his competitors in the dust. Speaking at
a victory rally in Cedar Rapids, the freshman Senator thanked his supporters and promised to fight on.

The question now is who will become his chief competitor. Senator Joe Kennedy (D-MA), the establishment's favourite, narrowly squeaked second, a delegate in front of Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) who vastly outperformed expectations, netting herself 24% of the vote.

It was a disappointing night for the Governor of Georgia, Stacey Abrams, who was expected to poll third with 23% of the vote. In a speech to her supporters she vowed to continue in the race, despite calls to drop out and face the inevitable. The survival of her campaign looks to hinge on South Carolina.

Looking ahead to New Hampshire, Senator Kennedy is leading, and Senator Sinema looks to continue her surge and take second from Pete Buttigieg, although that is looking unlikely. Stacey Abrams looks to outperform her Iowa margin.

THE PRIMARIES
Kyrsten


"New Hampshire, it's time!"

Kyrsten had been experiencing a completely unexpected surge. Her run was originally meant to raise her profile or get her a spot in the cabinet. Now she was vying for second, dare she say it, even first place in New Hampshire. Who could've thought? It's like Gavin Newsom's entire base flocked to her. She can neutralise Pete Buttigieg's appeal. Stacey Abrams is dead in the water. The establishment could support her over Kennedy. The stars were aligning. All she had to do was get more than she did last time.

Doing well in New Hampshire could give her the momentum she needed. Should the primaries result in the contested convention expected, she could take enough of the delegates from Buttigieg and enough of the superdelegates from Kennedy to become the compromise winner.

She was sitting with her campaign team as the results began to fly in. Stacey Abrams was looking to get an even lower slice of the vote than last time. Perfect. Buttigieg wasn't doing as well as last time. Fantastic. Kennedy wasn't flying ahead. Also perfect. This will be close.

"Lester, we have a major projection to make: Joseph Kennedy, the Junior senator from Massachusetts, is projected to win the Democratic New Hampshire primaries by less than a percentage point"

Thank you New Hampshire!!!!!! Tonight was a victory for working Americans. Forgotten by the establishment. We must not let our mission for a voice be quashed in the face of Mike Pence.

Unfortunately, I have yet to hear from the President. He is ungracious and disrespectful. He has disrespected me, my father, and most importantly America. It's time that we tell him what happens when you anger America. You, New Hampshire, have proven that we're stronger than Washington. Thank you, God bless you, and God Bless these United States of America!"


Mike

After a brief surge in Iowa, Mike Pence's approval and polling numbers fell through the floor, just like his emotional state. Ivanka was now leading him by over 12 points in some polls. Some people were already telling him to see the writing on the wall. Nevada was certain to go to Ivanka. However, maybe, just maybe, he could claw back South Carolina, god willing. He needed to get his message of true conservatism out there. Just like how that worked for 2016 nominee and his Vice President Ted Cruz, he thought. Ted was hedging his bets on 2028. He was barely bothering to campaign for the president. His circle was ever shrinking. The President was well and truly alone.

THE PRIMARIES
Joe


Joe had done it. He had won New Hampshire. It was a much closer margin than he would've liked though, and he was now tied with Buttigieg in delegate count going into Nevada.

Nevada was a virtual dead heat between Pete, Kyrsten, and himself an analyst explained to Joe, who was listening intently. He was the slight favourite but conceivably any of them could win it. If he or Pete claimed victory it would mean that they would become the frontrunners in the race. If Sinema won a contested convention would be virtually guaranteed. If Pete came third, Kyrsten would likely become Joe's chief opposition, and it was essential that her momentum be stopped immediately.

For the third time now, Joe and his campaign, and family sat down and eagerly awaited the results...

After slowly climbing up in vote share in the two preceding primaries, we can now project that Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona will win the Silver State. Kyrsten Sinema is the projected winner in the Nevada caucuses, narrowly beating Senator Joseph Kennedy in second and Senator Pete Buttigieg who is right behind him in third.

Ivanka

"And it is with regret that I suspend my campaign for President of the United States. I have fought for my values all of my life. This is not the end for me"

"Heh. That woman was deluded, she'll probably spend the next 4 years saying she was robbed" Ivanka was watching Stacey Abrams, who had just suspended her campaign after an awful showing in Nevada. She was with her campaign team as the results in the South Carolina primary flooded in. Ivanka, however, seemed confident. Cocky, even. She had won one state and she thought she had locked in the nomination against an incumbent President. Polls were showing that South Carolina could be close. Mike Pence was putting all his eggs in this state's basket.

And we can now project that Ivanka Trump will easily win the South Carolina primaries. This race seemed to be a tossup but at the end of the evening it looks like Ivanka Trump will comfortably carry it.

What did I say? Mike needs to call it quits. Super Tuesday's coming up. He's going to get massacred.

This looks to be a fatal blow for the Pence campaign, and insiders in the Republican Party are attempting to push him out of the race before Super Tuesday so Trump can focus on exploiting the split Democratic Party.

KYRSTEN'S BIG BREAK


Thank you, South Carolina! Together, we're gonna rally together and defeat Ivanka Trump this November!!!

In another close primary for the Democrats, Senator Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona won her second state, South Carolina, solidifying her spot as the front-runner going into Super Tuesday. This was another close primary, although Sinema improved her margin from Nevada. In second place was Senator Pete Buttigieg, who had won Iowa. Senator Kennedy came in third after narrowly losing Nevada and winning New Hampshire. A contested convention looks likely, with the candidates within 5 delegates of each other.

Sinema, who is running on a moderate platform with some progressive policies, is hoping that throughout the primary she can take the establishment vote from Senator Kennedy and the left-leaning votes Senator Buttigieg's court.

All eyes are now on Super Tuesday. The most likely result is that the candidates share most of the states, continuing with the status quo of a 3 way split. However, if Kyrsten Sinema can keep her momentum this primary could be over as quick as it started.
