Following a split decision in 2022, both Democrats and Republicans had much to celebrate. Democrats could celebrate increasing their majority in the Senate, though they still did not have the votes to overturn the fillibuster and get around Mitch McConnell, while Republicans could celebrate their capture of the House of Representatives, and election of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker.

While Joe Biden has made the decision not to run for reelection, announcing it shortly after Election Night, all eyes now turn to Vice President Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump. For each, their entry or lack thereof, would shape their party's primary field.


Rules

This game will begin on May 1, 2023. You can schedule your announcements for President before this date if you wish.

President Biden will not endorse before the Democratic National Convention. Owing to the Hatch Act, cabinet officials, and other administration officials also will not endorse candidates.

There are no limits on endorsements, however some endorsements (such as newspapers in Iowa/New Hampshire, and former President Trump if he is not a player candidate) will not endorse before certain dates.

In terms of advertisements, there are no limits to the number of ads a candidate may run, but they must declare where an advertisement is airing, what medium it is using (such as print, TV  radio or internet) and for how long it will be out.

Eligible Candidates

Republicans

Former President Donald Trump (GregtheGreat657)

Former Vice President Mike Pence

Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo

Senator Ted Cruz

Senator Josh Hawley

You can, though I should warn you, this primary won't be as easy as 2024 will be IRL for Trump.

Of course.

I'm delighted to have your wealth of experience in gameplay too, so I hope you stick around for the long haul.

things should quiet down a little for me in May, so I should have time to devote to this! Can I claim Kathy Hochul?

You could have Hochul.

This won't start until after Easter/Passover, and that's still a couple of weeks away.

While the game won't officially start until around Easter, I would like a couple of things right now.

A Harris/Buttigeig player (or even two players playing both).

At least one more Republican (preferably a more high-profile one than Phil Scott).

In the coming day or so I'll also have the results of the 2022 Midterms posted here for reference.

I meant to ask if you wanted Scott as a Republican or as an Independent, but in hindsight, I can't see running as anything other than a Republican.

I'd be willing to tentatively sign up, but I can't promise I'll be able to play for the entire game. How long do you anticipate it to last, and how long would you estimate I'd have to spend on it? Depending on the answers to those two questions, I'd likely be willing to sign up as Roy Cooper.

Also, do we check with you for endorsements, or can we just posts any unclaimed endorsement with the exception of those you mention we can't? (Like, for instance, if as Roy Cooper, I wanted - just an example - Mark Kelly's endorsement, and no one else had claimed it, would I need to check with you first about endorsing, or could I just go ahead and announce that Kelly had endorsed me?)

How long the game will last probably will depend on how active the players are.

I wouldn't anticipate having to spend more than a couple of hours per turn on the game, unless you are being very through.

You would PM me endorsement requests. Not all will get through immediately (for example, it's likely that an endorsement request of Chris Sununnu by a Republican candidate won't be accepted until closer to the New Hampshire Primary).

Okay then let's sign me up for Roy Cooper.

That would be fine with me.

For future players, I'd really appreciate someone taking either Harris or Buttigeig.

Can I be Vince McMahon? Considering that you said any other Republican that's eligible can be taken.

Sure, but at this time I would prefer someone take Kamala Harris or Pete Buttigeig, as I don't feel comfortable starting without one or both being played by someone.

Know what, I'll be Kamala. If that's what it takes to get the game started.

Thank you. The gameplay thread will be up later this week.
