	What Comes After: A 2024 Game (Gameplay-PAUSED) « on: December 11, 2022, 11:53:45 PM »

Welcome to What Comes After, an election game for events yet untold, an election in 2024, our near future, without President Joe Biden or Former President Donald Trump in the arena. This coming election will be central in determining America's future, in the aftermath of the great battles of 2016 and 2020. Only time can tell what will happen next...

Welcome to the game thread. Here I'll go more into detail on the radical new layout I'm imagining for this game. There will be several turns, or chapters, in which you will be free to conduct campaign activities. As I said before, schedules are possible, but they might be time consuming and a chore, especially at the start of the game. Your broader aims in each turn should always be to develop a unique message for your candidate and then sell that message to different voter blocs. Different turns will have more specific aims depending on how close we are to the primary. This can be done through posting your stump speech, writing on prior and during campaign activities (book tour, major speech, pushing for major legislation if you're an elected official, forming a Super PAC, social media posts), laying out a political program, appearing in media, or generally writing on the strategy your campaign is adapting, and what kinds of voters you aim to appeal to. Elected officials will also have to make decisions on bills either to sign/veto, or to vote for/against. This is aimed to get you to take positions on the issues.

There will be a start to the turn, and a mid turn update. These will include the latest news, which could include anything from polls, to Trump posts on Truthsocial, to general updates. Really could be anything. There will also be debates, I'll decide about how those will be formatted, but the goal of debates is to get you to stake out positions on the issues and give you an opportunity to attack your opponents. I rather not get bogged down in back and forth, but debates will clear when the first debate occurs.

Endorsements and potential campaign surrogates are part of the game, but they are far from a be all end all. If you want an endorsement, you need to court them publicly, or request it from me. Endorsements will only be made if they are logical and you have made an effort. If you desire a more niche surrogate you are free to ask, of course.

These is also the new Dirty Tricks system. If you're interested in playing dirty, with opposition research, or with fake news, social media disinformation, or whatever you can come up with, message me. Your work may bear fruits in news updates. Note that I will never make up a scandal, it will all have to be based real information or events from the past. You are also free to message me privately about any other information you seek about your campaign but I cannot guarantee responding to every detail.

The primary schedule for both parties is still being ironed out, but we will be going with the 2020 GOP primary schedule with 2016 dates for those 2020 primaries that were cancelled, and for the Democrats, the DNC's new list (SC, NV/NH, GA, MI) and then the 2020 schedule afterwords. This will all be detailed as we get closer.

The game will begin in February of 2023. Remember to keep all out of character discussion in the signup thread, if you have public questions, put them there. And thank you all for playing, this cannot happen without you.

Chapter I: Introductions
February 2023-May 2023

This turn will be about candidates introducing themselves to the electorate and donors. Most voters may not know who you are, and if they do, they don't know how you the candidate plan to market yourself this time. This is the pre-campaign book tours and political theater, the first visits to key states, the newsmaking stunts, the announcement, and so on. This will be by far the longest turn. Don't feel obligated to detail every copious, repetitive, detail for February, March, April, and May (in fact, do not, that would take way too much time) tell us what matters for your candidate in a creative way. Also, note on polls. It's January, they don't even know who's running yet and it is EARLY, it's possibly total garbage the campaign hasn't yet begun. Better polls come later.

Chapter II: Red Hot Summer
June 2023-September 2023

The first turn has gone splendidly. It's clear what each candidates are about, the lane they're going for and how they are reaching voters. Now it's really time to put your nose to the grindstone. The temperatures are going up (ironic compared to our current predicament), the sidewalks are hot, the air is sweltering, and the campaign is kicking into high gear. This turn will be intense, have debates, and the polls will start to shift big as the summer progresses, in one direction....or another. Be on your toes! This turn will run through June, July, August, and September.

Debate Rules and Regulations

Welcome to the first debate of What Comes After. Debates in this game will be important in delineating differences between candidates, and forcing you to take tough positions. It will give you a chance to attack your opponents, and show why you're the best candidate. This opens up potential endorsements and other sources of support. Debates will be judged on the cohesiveness of your answers (not, cohesiveness is not grammar, people don't always speak in good grammar, but I will expect your remarks to be readable obviously), and rhetorical skill. There will be a host of different kind of questions. You are also invited (optional) to post another written statement, rebutting the views of others or attacking other candidates. Answers should be of reasonable lengths. Do not get into back and forths. Make your debate post and be done with it you will not be rewarded for going back and forth I don't need that. Not four sentences, and also not two paragraphs. Responses are due at the end of turn (NOT midturn).

Miami Republican Debate

Neil Cavuto: Welcome to the Republican Presidential Debate here in the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida. I'm Neil Cavuto of Fox News, I'm joined by FOX family members Maria Bartiromo and Ainsley Earhardt. There will be also be a post-debate panel of Tucker Carlson and Former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard to discuss the debate's events. Today we're moderating the first Republican debate for President of the United States. We'd like to thank the venue, the city of Miami, and Mayor Suarez, who is in the audience today. Let's begin.

1. An Opening Statement

2. Raise your hand if you believe that Donald J. Trump is the rightful winner of the 2020 Presidential Election (Say if you raised your hand and if you like, write one or two sentences)

3. Who is your favorite Republican President in your lifetime? (Keep your answer concise, 2-4 sentences)

4. The United States has an out of control inflation problem. The cost of housing, food, energy, and gasoline is spiraling, what will you do to control inflation and bring down costs for working Americans?

5. Will you support a national abortion ban? Would it be after 15 weeks of pregnancy? 10 weeks? 6? Or would you prohibit all elective abortions?

Personalized Questions:
To Governor DeSantis: You've promised to make America look more like right here in Florida with lower taxes and more freedom, how do you plan to make that happen as President?
To Governor Noem: Governor, you vetoed a bill to restrict Trans Women from participating in Women's Sports, defying the wishes of many conservatives. Why?
To Senator Hawley: Senator, you've said that "Washington Republicanism" failed in the 2022 midterms and you've disagreed with many Republicans on economic issues. You've worked with self-described democratic socialist Senator Sanders on stimulus checks, and you supported a recent rail workers strike. Sounds like socialism to some. What is your view of economic leadership?
To Governor Hogan: Governor, instead of voting for Donald J. Trump in 2020, the overwhelming choice of conservatives and Republicans, you wrote in Ronald Reagan for President. Why? Do you think Donald Trump was a good President?
To Governor Youngkin: Governor, you have been Governor Virginia, for only 1 and a half years as of today, why are you qualified to be chief executive?
To Ambassador Haley: Ambassador, do you believe that Donald Trump was at-all responsible for the events of January 6th, and was it an illegal event?
To Vice President Pence: Vice President you called for some of your fellow candidates to be executed, this comment was widely criticized as wildly deranged by conservatives. Would you like to apologize?
To Representative Amash: Congressman you are easily the most Trump-skeptical candidate here, you essentially called him a criminal and voted to impeach him twice. How can you gain the trust of conservatives?
To Mr. Stone: Mr. Stone you've run thus far, what many are describing as a "no holds barred" guerrilla campaign. You also have a conviction record. Some have said you're just too crazy to be President. Do you have the dignity and the personality to be a sober President?
To Ms. Lake: You have been saying you're the rightfully elected Governor of Arizona, however Katie Hobbs sits in the Governor's chair and is recognized as such by most of your fellow candidates and Republicans. Are you the rightful Governor of Arizona, why, and do you still seek to reassert your claim?
To Representative Gaetz: Congressman you were subhject to a sex trafficking investigation, and while you are unlikely to be charged, this in conjunction with other allegations over your personal conduct has raised concerns over your fitness to serve. Are you fit?
To Mr. Lindell: Mr. Lindell you claimed that Governor DeSantis's landslide re-election victory here in Florida was colored by irregularities. Can you elaborate on this claim?

6. Rebuttal Period/Free Space

Philadelphia Democratic Debate

Lester Holt: Welcome to the NBC/MSNBC Democratic Presidential debate. We're joined at Drexel University by all of our Democratic candidates for president, and an audience including Senators John Fetterman, Bob Casey, and former Governor Ed Rendell. I'm Lester Holt, I'll be moderating tonights debate alongside Rachel Maddow, Kristen Welker, and José Díaz-Balart. I'd like to thank the city of Philadelphia, and Drexel for hosting tonight.

1. An Opening Statement

2. Raise your hand if you support the adoption of a single-payer, "Medicare for All" style healthcare system. (Say if you raised your hand and if you like, write one or two sentences)

3. The world is faced with the imminent threat of catastrophic climate change. This means storms, droughts, and more common freak weather events, rising sea levels, among other negative consequences. What is your plan to address this, mitigate the effects, and prevent long term damage to the planet?

4. What could we expect for the first 100 Days of your presidency?

5. Who is the United States's greatest geopolitical adversary?

Personalized Questions:
To Vice President Harris: As Attorney General of California, you've been accused of "weaponizing technicalities to keep wrongfully convicted people behind bars rather than allow them new trials" and you argued against early releases and de-crowding California prisons. Can Democrats trust you to enact a criminal justice agenda that will be fair to all Americans?
To Vice President Gore: You passed on presidential candidacies in 2004, 2008, 2016, and 2020 when there was a great deal more speculation on you throwing your hat into the ring. Now at the age of 75 you've finally decided to give it another go. Why run now? Why is this year different?
To Secretary Buttigieg: African Americans are a core constituency for the Democratic Party, if you're the nominee you'll need strong turnout from African-Americans to win, but you've often struggled to get support from this community. What are you doing differently this time?
To Governor Whitmer: Is the water in Flint drinkable yet and, if not, what is your responsibility, if any?
To Governor Newsom: Governor, with another Californian in the race, especially the sitting Vice President, some are questioning why you've chosen to run. Why would you be the best President of anyone here?
To Representative Khanna: In October 2021 you criticized oil executives for increasing production. In March of 2022 you criticized oil executives for not increasing production enough. Which is it?
To Governor Pritzker: You're a billionaire, you've got over 3 billion dollars to your name, maybe more. So, do you pay appropriate income tax, and as President are you prepared to raise your own taxes?
To Senator Merkley: You were the only U.S. Senator at the time to endorse Bernie Sanders in the 2016 presidential election, and you've made some lonely votes at many points in the Senate. Could you elaborate on your independent streak?
To Senator Gillibrand: You recently penned a Washington Post Op-Ed on the importance of cybersecurity in national defense. What would your national security strategy look like?
To Mayor Adams: As Mayor of New York you've made reducing crime rates a priority with an emphasis on a strong police presence. If your philosophy of increased policing is the best strategy to bring down crime, why has crime not dropped-if anything it has gone up-during your tenure?

Debate Reactions

Opinion | Winners and Losers of the Democratic Debate

"(8/10) Merkley comes off as principled, authentic, and sincere. Democrats will pay attention."- Jamelle Bouie

"(9/10) Mayor Adams presents solutions and appeals to a broad audience of Americans. Can't be said for the others."- Bret Stephens

"(8/10) Whitmer has spunk!"- Gail Collins

"(9/10) Liberals take note. Khanna clearly deeply understands the issues and it showed."- Nicholas Kristof

"(5/10) One wonders if in the midst of Governor Newsom's feud with the Vice President, he's totally missed the American people. Same goes for her."- Peter Wehner

"(6/10) Confrontational!"- Gail Collins (On Senator Gillibrand)

"(7/10) Gore has yet to provide a comprehensive response for his quixotic exit from retirement, but he is a serious, competent statesman who rises above the infighting."- Peter Wehner

"(7/10) Gillibrand gets herself in the highlight clips. For better or worse."- Michelle Cottle

The New York Times, July 21st, 2023

So we saw some more of the rivalry between Vice President Harris and Governor Newsom… I also think Gretchen Whitmer performed well… Senator Gillibrand made a big showing... Jeff Merkley made a clear case for being the successor to Bernie Sanders’s movement…”
Van Jones, Live on CNN, July 20th, 2023

"I thought Gaetz was great. He's not afraid to say anything. It's fantastic."

"Stone sure likes to attack, attack, attack, and it's hilarious but I'm not sure anybody knows what he wants. Maybe he just likes chaos, it's pretty funny. We can have some chaos. It upsets the RINOs."

"I think people are still figuring out who is the most America First candidate. But it's pretty obvious that Haley and Hogan, total lightweights, they're just part of the global two party duopoly. I mean why is Hogan even here he belongs with the Lincoln Project RINOs. What a pathetic, emasculated person, just be a Democrat already stop pretending."

"I wanna see a Gaetz Harris debate. Or better yet a Gaetz Biden debate, see a senile old man just get destroyed, destroyed by an energetic real man. Fantastic stuff."

"Stone advanced some pretty strong attacks on DeSantis, and people who truly believe in the Trump movement will want answers."

"Reagan this, Reagan that from Haley, what about the Trump movement?"
Tucker Carlson, Live on FOX, July 24th, 2023

"Kari Lake really sticks it to the globalist establishment in both parties, she's a power player."

"DeSantis has done a lot of good work fighting the anti-America leftist indoctrination crowd in Florida. But it's unclear where he stands on America First issues, Republicans are certainly asking questions after tonight."

"But I'll say this for the Governor, Stone's been attacking him for a while from the sidelines, and tonight the Governor got a chance to respond and he showed why Florida voters gave him a 20-point landslide over has-been corporate Democrat Charlie Crist."

"Governor Noem has a lot of bad things to say about the other candidates. But more and more she seems like she'll let Republicans down on meaningful America First issues."

"It's no surprise Governor Youngkin defeated corrupt Terry McAullife in November of 2021, he's not afraid to call out the radical left for their hatred of America, and he has pretty strong MAGA credentials."

"You know Tucker, that whole debate I kept thinking, I agree with Hawley. He gets things exactly right. He delivers a searing indictment of the globalist class that sneers at average Americans."

"I don't think voters will like Ambassador Haley, she's an empty suit, nothing but America Last globalist policies that got America into a war in Iraq and now knee-deep in a war in Ukraine."
Tulsi Gabbard, Live on FOX, July 24th, 2023

"Roger Stone, he's a chaos agent. He sows chaos. But when he actually has to put up, he melts down. DeSantis is a Reaganesque conservative leader, he enrages the radical left, and he's hated by the grifter crowd because he can win and deliver. He showed that at the debate."
Ben Shapiro, Live on the Ben Shapiro Show, July 25th, 2023

"There's a very simple way of looking at these things. We know that the DoJ predetermined the Trump indictments to bring him down. We know that it was a coup, a slow running coup from the Dominion voting machines to the 1/6 Antifa provocateurs, to the indictments. Whose side were you on, Roger Stone was on the side of patriots, DeSantis was working with the elites."

Chapter III: The Road to Iowa and South Carolina
October 2023-Early February 2024

Another turn has gone by and the race is really, really heating up, but this is just the start. We're about to accelerate to full speed, this turn will lead to the Iowa Caucus and the South Carolina primary and conclude with those events. It will be really intense. At this point in the game I should expect to see television advertisement blitzes in early states, rigorous campaign schedules, and heavy use of campaign resources. This turn will run through October, November, December, January, and the first few days of February. Saddle up, and ride to the sound of campaign advertisements!

This turn update is HUGE, and it comes in 3 posts. So please, take your time, get a cup of your beverage of choice and read it through. It is full of important content. It's possible I missed a few things.

"Roger Stone is promising everything to everyone and spreading all kind of gossip. People say I met with him, or that I promised him support, I didn't, and I don't. He's a wild man. He's a wild man running around with a chainsaw. I worry about him, what he could do to the party. But if he directed that chainsaw to the alphabet soup agencies, the administrative state, which I know he hates, he could do a lot of good. If, if he's elected, which isn't likely."

Debate Rules and Regulations

Welcome to the second debate of What Comes After. Debates in this game will be important in delineating differences between candidates, and forcing you to take tough positions. It will give you a chance to attack your opponents, and show why you're the best candidate. This opens up potential endorsements and other sources of support. Debates will be judged on the cohesiveness of your answers (not, cohesiveness is not grammar, people don't always speak in good grammar, but I will expect your remarks to be readable obviously), and rhetorical skill. There will be a host of different kind of questions. You are also invited (optional) to post another written statement, rebutting the views of others or attacking other candidates. Answers should be of reasonable lengths. Do not get into back and forths. Please, please, do not get into back and forths. Make your debate post and be done with it you will not be rewarded for going back and forth, I don't need that. Not four sentences, and also not two paragraphs. Responses are due at the end of turn (NOT midturn).

Des Moines Republican Debate

Jesse Watters: Welcome to the Republican Presidential Debate here in the Des Moines Civic Center. I'm Jesse Watters of Fox News, I'm joined by FOX family members Pete Hegseth and Katie Pavlich. Today we're moderating the second Republican debate for President of the United States. We'd like to thank the venue, the city of Des Moines, and our guests, Senator Ernst, Governor Reynolds, and Congresswoman Miller-Meeks and Congressman Nunn, and we extend our well wishes to Senator Grassley, who is currently hospitalized but is expected to make a full recovery. We wish you the best of health Senator. Let's begin.

1. Under President Biden America has witnessed a shocking border crisis, with total madness and chaos as thousands of people and unlimited drugs, fentanyl, cocaine, pours into the United States. What steps will you take to bring this crisis under control, and also, how do you approach immigration in general? Do we need controls on all immigration?

2. Raise your hand if you support cost-controlling reforms to entitlement programs that Senate and House Republicans such as Scott Perry and Jim Jordan are supporting. (You may write one sentence)

3. Do you support continued monetary and weapons aide to Ukraine in their fight against Putin's Russia?

4. What will you do to end the spread of Marxism, woke ideology, and Critical Race Theory in America's public schools?

5. Do you believe that free trade is a net benefit for the American economy?

Personalized Questions:
To Governor DeSantis: Do you support American military intervention to remove the socialist Maduro regime in Venezuela?
To Governor Noem: Governor, Ronald Reagan said that the 11th Commandment was not to speak ill of another Republican. Do you think you've been unfair to any of the other candidates in your attacks?
To Senator Hawley: Do you support the overturn of Obergefell v. Hodges and return of control over marriage to the states?
To Governor Hogan: Would you require Supreme Court appointees under a potential Hogan administration to support upholding Dobbs vs. Jackson?
To Governor Youngkin: You've staked a lot of your campaign on your ability to win in Virginia, a state Biden won by 10. Do you think there are any Republicans running for President right now who are not electable?
To Ambassador Haley: You're a strong supporter of the State of Israel. Do you support meeting with controversial Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir as a part of diplomatic discussions with Israel?
To Representative Amash: Congressman, if you fail to win the Republican nomination will you still run as a libertarian?
To Mr. Stone: Some feel that you have been marketing a different Stone to different audiences depending on political expediency. What is the real Roger Stone? What would be your governing philosophy as President?
To Ms. Lake: You've come out strongly against entitlement reforms. You've said former President Trump is the only good billionaire. Do you consider yourself a fiscal conservative? Do you support tax cuts? Do you support free markets?
To Representative Gaetz: Congressman Mike Rogers of Alabama joked to a reporter the other day that you have done nothing whatsoever in your time of Congress aside from getting the phone numbers of female staff members. What have you done in Congress?

South Carolina Democratic Debate

Jake Tapper: Welcome to the CNN Democratic Presidential debate. We're joined at the Gaillard Center in Charleston South Carolina by all of the Democratic candidates for president, and DNC Chairman Jaimie Harrison and Congressman Jim Clyburn in the audience. I'm Jake Tapper, I'll be moderating tonights debate alongside my colleagues Dana Bash, Chris Wallace, and Jorge Ramos. I'd like to thank the city of Charleston, and the Gaillard Center for hosting tonight.

1. What is your approach to immigration policy. Do you support increasing the cap for asylum seekers and refugees? Do you support more liberal measures like decriminalizing illegal border crossings into the United States?

2. There has been an uptick of crime, especially in urban areas like New York City and Chicago since the COVID-19 pandemic. What measures will you support to bring crime, theft, and gun violence under control?

3. What measures would you take as President to protect access to abortion for women in states where state governments have taken measures against abortion rights? What about measures for LGBT people?

4. Are you concerned about Saudi interference in American elections? How do you view our relationship with the Kingdom in general, is it time to re-evaluate what has been a longstanding alliance?

5. Raise your hand if you a gun buyback program, voluntary or mandatory. (You may write one sentence)

Personalized Questions:
To Vice President Harris: Many general election polls have shown you trailing Republican frontrunner Governor Ron DeSantis, can Democrats trust you to keep the White House in Democratic hands?
To Vice President Gore: Back in the 1980s and 1990s you had a reputation as a moderate, even conservative Democrat. Can Democrats trust you too advance a progressive agenda if you're elected on healthcare, family leave, and other key issues?
To Secretary Buttigieg: Mr. Secretary, what is your current home state? You were Mayor of South Bend Indiana, but you now have residence in Michigan, is that correct?
To Governor Whitmer: Would you sign the PRO Act, which protects collective bargaining on a national level, if elected President?
To Governor Newsom: Governor, there's been a lot of back and forth on the campaign trail over healthcare, and your position on it, and how specific your demands are here. If a plan for single-payer healthcare came to your desk that was not your own, would you sign it?
To Representative Khanna: You represent much of Silicon Valley. Would you support legislation to break up big tech companies? Do you support more government regulation of social media companies?
To Senator Merkley: Would you support the imposition of a Wealth Tax, akin to the ones proposed by Senator Warren and Sanders in 2020? What about a financial transaction tax?
To Senator Gillibrand: You recently accused Mayor Adams of sexism in some of his remarks directed at you on the campaign trail. Do you have anything more to say on that? Do you think the Mayor is a sexist?
To Mayor Adams: As Mayor of New York you signed a budget with strong cuts to education, including to city libraries, by many millions of dollars. Was this really necessary, is this consistent with the values of the Democratic Party?

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Welcome to CNN, America's Election Headquarters, I'm Jake Tapper, and we're going headfirst into our coverage of the South Carolina primary on the Democratic side and the Iowa caucus on the Republican side. These are the first contests in a long and rigorous process to determine the party nominees for the 2024 presidential election. The time is 7:58 we have just two minutes until polls close in South Carolina. South Carolina has promised to be an explosive, exciting contest. What once appeared to be a cakewalk on the road to a coronated nomination for Vice President Harris, has become a tight race to the finish with the surprise entry of Vice President and 2000 Democratic nominee Al Gore into the race. It appears many of the other candidates are telling their supporters in the state to support him instead. The Vice President has benefitted from the support of Democratic congressman Jim Clyburn, whose endorsement was so crucial for Joe Biden four years ago. Alright, I think that's 8, and the polls in South Carolina have closed.

We're staying that the South Carolina primary is too early to call. But we do have a top tier, that top tier is 3 people. According to our exit polls there are 3 Democratic candidates with a chance to win the day in the Palmetto state. Those three candidates are, Vice President Kamala Harris, Vice President Al Gore, and Mayor Eric Adams. That's the top tier, and I think that's all we have for now. No results have reported yet.

Actually Jake, we have something.

Well there it is, I'll take you to John King, at the famous magic wall.

We've just gotten some results these from Aiken and Oconee county in the west and north of the state.

Well, thank you John, much more to come.

Note to All: Honestly I'm glad we've made it thus far. So many of these games die so early, such as my last attempt, I'm glad this one is chugging along just fine. So appreciative towards all of you. Now let's get this show on the road. To our Republican candidates, Iowa results will come starting later.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Tapper: Welcome back to CNN, America's Election Headquarters. We're watching results trickle in right now for the South Carolina Democratic primary, me and world-famous master of the magic wall John King, as well as our panel. We're watching really just three possible winners for this primary, Vice President Kamala Harris, former Veep Al Gore, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams, it appears like everyone else is totally out of the picture. We've also seen a lot of vote coming in very very quickly. So what's going on John.

King: So Jake, in the run-up to the primary, it seemed basically every other candidate who wasn't Kamala Harris or Eric Adams has given way to Vice President Gore. It seemed that rather than let Kamala Harris prevail with ease, they lent their support to the candidate best suited to defeat her. Seems a lot of Democratic politicians don't want to see her anywhere near the top of the Democratic ticket. Many people agree, many do not. Including Congressman Jim Clyburn, who endorsed Harris a few weeks ago. Look at the middle of the state, that's his district, around Lake Marion and Moultrie, Congaree River Valley. That's his district, high concentration of African Americans, strong numbers for Vice President Harris, see her at 44%, 43%, 47% all along this area. Strong numbers. That's just one region with quick turnaround time, we're seeing a lot of results trickle in from all over the state. Notice how Vice President Gore is currently, for now, ahead in Greenville County with 15% of its vote reporting. Well you can look at the statewide picture now. An interesting race for sure.

Tapper: Very interesting John, more to come, so stick with us.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Tapper: Welcome back to CNN, it's almost 9 on the east coast and results from South Carolina are coming in fast, very fast, we're gonna check on John King at the magic wall for more, and I believe we'll have our first numbers from the Iowa Caucus soon after that. Take it away John.

King: Thanks Jake, well the race is tightening, it's tightening. Almost half the results are in. Not quite there, but approaching. We just got a substantial number of votes from the northern part of the state. Pickens, Lexington, Greenville, a few others. Vice President Al Gore is sweeping them with strong numbers, taking 36%, 44%, 42%. Very strong performances, and Jake they have more left, but they've reported now over half their vote, rocketing the former Vice President into a much stronger position. I also want to point our Mayor Adams, who appears to be outdoing his polling thus far, a strong performance for the New York City Mayor here down south. He's holding steady at a pretty hefty 24%. That's nothing to scoff at. He's cobbled together a fairly strong group of African Americans, white moderate Democrats as well. A lot of vote left, and also worth pointing out that's it decently evenly distributed throughout the state but with some sizable vote left in the aforementioned northern counties, in Charleston, where Harris is ahead, albeit by less than she is statewide and Sumter which has yet to report a lot, where she is very strong.

Tapper: Thanks John, we have longtime Democratic political strategist James Carville with us in the studio. He's backing Al Gore for President. What do you make of this James?

Carville: Well thanks you for having me in Jake, and you know I'm buoyant. People said a few months ago that Vice President Harris would sleep her way through this primary, these results, if they hold, show how untrue that was. People said she'd landslide in this state, but she had to rush the state with her people, her money, her resources in these last days. Al Gore showed her he's a forced to be reckoned with, and I reckon he has showed the whole country.

Tapper: Well James there's still a lot of Harris vote left out, she could very well build a stronger lead. She looks poised to win, do you think she's gonna win? Can Gore go on without a win here?

Carville: Oh shuure. No worries there. Gore can go on, even if he loses, loses by a fair bit. He showed that he is the strongest match for Vice President Harris. He's the number 2 in this race, that's what I'm seeing in South Carolina. He's putting up very strong numbers. Look, I think Kamala is gonna take this state, but we'll see by how much.

Tapper: Thank you James, more results, and first reports from the Iowa caucus when we come back.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Tapper: Welcome back to CNN, it's just past 9 on the east coast and we now have results from both the Iowa Caucus, and the South Carolina primary. So, based on the CNN Exit Polls, in Iowa, we're saying there's a top tier of Governor Ron DeSantis, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley, and Kari Lake. Well would you look at that. But that's just an exit poll, apparently we've got Nikki Haley right behind Kari Lake, according to our exit poll, so expect a real fight for third place. So now we're gonna go to John King, with more results from South Carolina, hopefully soon from Iowa.

King: Yes Jake, so I'm looking at South Carolina, we have about 70% of the vote reported. And Vice President Harris has around a 10-point lead, and it's been that way for a while. Vice President Gore gained from a batch from Greenville, pretty good, Harris matched that in the midlands, so it's been pretty steady, but I think we're looking at a moderate win for Vice President Harris, certainly not what she wanted a few months ago, but she's staved off disaster.

Tapper: Well there's no CNN projection yet.

King: Well, not yet no. This race is uncalled.

Tapper: Well, hold that thought John, we have a projection.

Tapper: CNN is projecting that Vice President Kamala Harris has won the South Carolina primary, replacing Joe Biden's historic win 4 years ago. But time will tell if this will propel her to the nomination. John?

King: That's right Jake. Looks like the latest from Columbia and other urban centers that gave us the certainty we needed to call it. I'm gonna switch over to Iowa now. We're watching results there, caucus-going is well underway, and sources on the ground are reporting, strong, strong turnout thus far.

Tapper: Thanks John, we're going to commercial now, but we'll be back quickly, with a lot more results.

Sorry folks, slight delay. Results will be faster now. Credit to OldKyhome for gif and graphic, thank you.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Tapper: Welcome back to CNN, where we're following the South Carolina Democratic primary and the Republican Iowa caucus. We're taking you right to John King, at the magic wall. What's going on in Iowa John?

King: Yes Jake. 2008, Iowa went to Mike Huckabee, the candidate of the Christian Right, in 2012, a very narrow win for Rick Santorum, also the candidate of the Christian Right, in 2016, a win for Ted Cruz, and again, favored by the Christian right. Going into tonight it appeared that Josh Hawley was the choice of the Christian Right. Republicans in Iowa are pretty religious, pretty conservative. Hawley positioned himself as strong on those issues. Right now the first precincts fully reporting caucus results are from rural northern Iowa, Winnebago, Kossuth, Butler, Howard counties. And wow, wow those are some strong, startlingly strong numbers for Josh Hawley. Caucuses are not like regular primaries remember, there is the first alignment, the realignment, and so on, this will take time.

Tapper: Alright John, we'll come back to you soon. Very early in Iowa. This is where things stand in Iowa and South Carolina right now.

Tapper: Remember that's a very, very, small sample size out of Iowa. It's very early, more when we come back.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

King: ...okay so we're getting a clearer picture in Iowa. We've got about a third of the vote in, a lot more urban vote now, Des Moines, Davenport, Iowa City, and so forth. That's been a lot stronger for Governor DeSantis, but wow, very, very strong numbers for Josh Hawley in rural Iowa, putting him in a very strong position. Kari Lake as well, looking strong. But I'm watching Des Moines, Iowa City, they have a lot more vote left, Des Moines has some populous suburbs as well. Those have been very reliable for Governor DeSantis, and Ambassador Haley. Look to the rurals though, very good for Kari Lake as well, but Josh Hawley is dominating, dominating out there. If we switch to South Carolina it looks that about all the results are in, and it's going to be about a 10-point win for Kamala Harris, so a mixed result for everyone involved, we'll see what people think.

Dispensing with some of the fluff. Moving quickly.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

King: This race in Iowa has been tightening as the urban cores have reported. You can see every, well, I'll say non Trump-aligned candidate has benefitted, Glenn Youngkin now at 4%, and DeSantis now closing in on Senator Hawley. Nikki Haley doing better. Will this be enough for DeSantis to close that gap and make up the difference? We've got some vote from Dallas county, Polk, Story, and in the east there's some. Hard to say....

Tapper: Despite having the endorsement of, shall I remind our viewers, Iowa's own Governor Kim Reynolds, Haley appears to be treading water. Why's that?

King: Well, I think that has a lot to do with a perceived weakness on issues that pro-Trump voters care about, but I think it's possible that a lot of her supporters went to DeSantis, perhaps out of fear of Kari Lake, or Josh Hawley. But there's still a lot of vote left, a lot from the cities, some from rural areas, especially in the northwest. More vote still out, we don't have a call here yet. It's up in the air.

Iowa and South Carolina Results Coverage

Tapper: We have a major projection in the Iowa caucus.

(Ignore network inaccuracy)

Tapper: Josh Hawley we're projecting will win the Iowa caucus. He has won the Iowa caucus, and we're saying he will win 10 delegates, though that is an approximation. Here's John King at the magic wall to tell us more.

King: Josh Hawley will take home the Iowa caucus, a strong win in the Hawkeye state. What's powering his win? Our exit polls say strong numbers with evangelicals, and if you go to the county level, strong, very strong numbers in rural areas. Governor DeSantis was below his targets in rural areas, well below, but pretty strong in cities and suburbs. Time will tell if that pattern will persist. Kari Lake also did well tonight, right now she's ahead of Nikki Haley, by a little. Still a bit of vote out mostly in the rural northwest and the Council Bluffs area, but here's where things stand.

That's all for now folks. There will be final results in the morning, and MAYBE if I have time a turn update and some announcements. Maybe. Exciting stuff ahead! Thanks to oldkyhome for the graphics.

Chapter IV: The Wilds of February
February 2024

Read this very carefully please. We have passed Iowa, we have passed South Carolina, but things are just getting started. This turn will be totally unlike all others we've had before. It will compromise of the entire month of February, which means for Democrats, it will be Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia, and Michigan. For Republicans, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. Here is the oncoming schedule, as a reminder.

Democratic
(2/6/24) Nevada & New Hampshire
(2/13/24) Georgia
(2/27/24) Michigan
...

Republican
(2/6/24) New Hampshire
(2/20/24) South Carolina
(2/22/24) Nevada

Now, how will this work functionally. That's the key. As soon as I make this post, you will have FOUR real life days to post your reaction to Iowa (and especially if that includes ending your campaign) and your preparations for New Hampshire, whatever that entails (it doesn't need to be that much, I just need to know what you're doing, it can be simple). On January 21st I'll post the results for New Hampshire, and Nevada for Democrats. I may not be able to manage an election night, we'll see. Then, you will have 4 more days for Georgia for Democrats, and South Carolina for Republicans, the in-game dates for the primaries diverge here but I am giving you the same amount of time RL. The results for those primaries come on the 25th. You will then have four more days to post your reactions to those primaries and preparations for the next (Michigan for Democrats, Nevada for Republicans). Once the results for those primaries are out, the turn will conclude.

New Hampshire and Nevada Results Coverage

Tapper: Welcome to CNN, America's Election Headquarters, I'm Jake Tapper, and we're going headfirst into our coverage of two more states tonight, the New Hampshire primary, for both parties, and the Nevada primary on the Democratic side. It's been a long rocky road since Joe Biden and Donald Trump concluded their campaigns for President in just about the same month. In that time the 2024 campaign has panned out in frankly, a way nobody could have predicted. Iowa saw the shocking defeat of presumed frontrunner Ron DeSantis on the Republican side, and the shock comeback of Al Gore in South Carolina, finishing right behind Democratic frontrunner Kamala Harris. That was only a few days ago, now we turn to the Granite State. In the last few days, the news has been full of the Stone Truckers, a substantial convoy of truckers supporting Roger Stone's surprisingly popular, libertarian populist campaign for President. They've blockaded many roadways in New Hampshire and filled up the local news in that state. The Democratic side sees a pitched fight as well, with the late resurgence of Al Gore and Jeff Merkley upsetting presumed frontrunners for the state Pete Buttigieg, Gretchen Whitmer, and Gavin Newsom. It's 8'clock on the east coast and that means polls in New Hampshire have closed.

We're staying that the New Hampshire primary on both sides of the aisle is too early to call. We're not prepared to say anything about the top tier of candidates on the Democratic side, it is too close according to our exit polls, but on the Republican side, we feel prepared to say that their is a top tier, in no particular order, of Roger Stone, Ron DeSantis, and Glenn Youngkin. It seems that DeSantis is depending on a win here after a loss in Iowa, but he can survive a loss perhaps. Glenn Youngkin has banked a lot on this state. I don't think anybody knows what to expect from Roger Stone. I'm now going to take you to John King on the magic wall, who I believe has early results for us.

King: Jake we're getting our first results right now. We've got some towns fully reporting actually, in central New Hampshire, Salisbury is in. Wow check out Salisbury, Roger Stone with a tremendous lead there, that's a town that Ron Paul won 12 years ago, that Donald Trump won 8 years ago, that Don Bolduc, a Stone backer, won almost two years ago in the primary for U.S. Senate. Stone is at 39% of the vote there, Josh Hawley is at 31%. Nearby Bradford is a similar story, Paul, Trump, Bolduc, Stone. Bolduc was just around 43% there, Stone is at 32% now. But Stone's problem is that these areas are low population, a handful of votes being reported, Stone will net maybe a hundred votes here. Now, the bulk of the vote we have now is from the Massachusetts border area, Mitt Romney was very strong here when he ran for President, a lot of ex-Massachusetts residents here who like low taxes, business conservatives, not exactly Stone or Josh Hawley's base. Salem, Kingston, Windham, Derry, a lot more votes there, and look at that. Roger Stone is at around 5%, Hawley maybe a little higher. The story is there is check this out, Glenn Youngkin ahead, DeSantis right behind him. Youngkin is carrying all these towns right now, save Danville in which Governor DeSantis is ahead. Very interesting educational, population-based divide here in New Hampshire.

Tapper: What about the Democrats?

King: We're watching that too, same towns reporting. In those small towns we mentioned before, it looks like Jeff Merkley and Gretchen Whitmer are both taking one. But let's look at these Massachusetts border areas we mentioned before. This was Buttigieg country back in 2020 but the South Bend Mayor's withdrawal left these votes up for grabs. Right now it looks like Al Gore and Gretchen Whitmer are strong, both of them in the upper echelons, with Merkley, Harris, Newsom, and Gillibrand trailing behind them. But we've got a long way to go.

Note to All: Sorry for the delay, was exhausted this afternoon for unrelated reasons.

New Hampshire and Nevada Results Coverage

Tapper: John as I understand it we've gotten a substantial new batch of votes, what's going on.

King: That's right Jake, we've received a great amount of votes, this time from urban New Hampshire, Manchester, Nashua, Keene, and parts of the seacoast. When we talk about Massachusetts influenced parts of the Granite State, Nashua is ground zero. And we can see a pattern, Glenn Youngkin is ahead, DeSantis behind him. But if you're in the DeSantis camp, these numbers on the seacoast are worrying, Youngkin running up a 10-point lead in Portsmouth, a 12 point lead in Rye, 11 point lead in Seabrook. DeSantis is gonna want to hope that rural New Hampshire is killing Youngkin. So let's check rural New Hampshire. We're getting a few pieces of data from Grafton county, Belknap county, Coos county, a lot less urban. Bad news for Governor Youngkin, where he's lucky to get 5% in these towns, he's at 4% here in Rumney, not good. Better news for Stone in these areas, where he's either ahead or right behind Hawley. Now speaking of Stone, he's running up monster numbers in what rural areas we have (which isn't much), he's getting annihilated in the cities. Let's check Manchester, where he's at 6%, or Nashua, 9%. Concord, 3%.

Tapper: What does that have to do with the truckers blockades we witnessed? They were huge in local media.

King: Well, safe to say that high-education, business Republicans were having none of this. They're punishing Roger Stone tonight. Concord, the site of the biggest events, seems to have responded with the greatest vitriol, maybe they can get together with Ottawa residents and chat. To get the revolution he's looking for he's gonna have to hope the remaining rural vote is really strong for him.

Tapper: How about the Democrats?

King: Jeff Merkley held his massive progressive unity rally at UNH's main campus, in Durham. Watch this, he's at 34% in Durham, if that stands, that's more than Bernie Sanders got in 2020. That has got to be making progressives absolutely giddy right now. He's also seeing favorable returns in curiously, a lot of small towns in Grafton County, but most of the vote right now is urban. Merkley is strong there as well, he's ahead in Manchester and in Nashua. Promising. Governor Newsom also seeing promising numbers in the cities. Al Gore, and Gretchen Whitmer, they're looking strong in the seacoast, which is quite affluent. Al Gore is narrowly ahead in Hampton right now, which is populous. Senator Gillibrand we can see doing alright, but she'd need to find a lot votes elsewhere in the state to make a top 3 finish. Hard to see that, but you never know.

Note to All: It will be faster now

New Hampshire and Nevada Results Coverage

Tapper: We're now going to go back to John King at the magic wall for another update from New Hampshire.

King: We're getting a much more complete picture right now, we have right now some 75% of the vote in. We have got a lot, a lot of vote from small towns and rural areas across New Hampshire, which has heavily rebalanced the very urban sample we had earlier. Coos County, Belknap County, Carroll, Grafton, and more across the state. Let's take a look, Stone running up more impressive numbers, Hawley right behind him, ahead in a few counties. Very impressive numbers from Stone. But here's the deal, what we're witnessing is almost two different states. In the cities, in the educated suburbs, on the border with Massachusetts, there's a top tier of Youngkin or Desantis, then a big, big gap, then usually Senator Hawley, sometimes Lake or even Congressman Matt Gaetz here in Durham. In lower population, lower education areas, it's Stone, or Hawley, then Lake or Governor DeSantis, and a big gap down to Governor Youngkin. The good news for Governor DeSantis is that while Youngkin is getting shelled in rural New Hampshire, he's holding up ago, maybe DeSantis can eke out a win after all.

Tapper: And the Democrats?

King: A narrowing race. Al Gore, as well as Governor Gretchen Whitmer, are closing in on the Oregon Senator. A lot of the rural vote has been more favorable to their campaigns, to the detriment of Merkley and also of Governor Newsom. But I'd like to point out that Senator Merkley is holding up alright, he's up in Haverhill, in Lincoln, in Stewartstown which only reported about 40 total votes. Dixville Notch, the first in the nation counting township, voted for Governor Whitmer, fun bit of trivia there. Very embarrassing performance for Vice President Harris, she's behind Senator Gillibrand right, if barely, she's got to hope the remaining vote, which is a mix of suburban, urban, and rural is favorable to her.
