A Changed America - The Seventh Party System

[Huey Long is a Republican]

The story of the Seventh Party System (2040-2080) can theoretically be traced back to the deathknell of the Sixth Party System in 2008 with the election of America's first African American President, Democrat Barrack Huessein Obama II of Illinois in 2008, who won his election on the back of a coalition of the White Working Class, Suburbs, the Youth, Minorities, and Liberal Republicans who disliked the Bushes but disagreed with the Huckabee and Paul wings of the Party, styling themselves in the role of a George Pataki or Mitt Romney. Obama's Presidency would be one of controversy and change, with various scandals such as the IRS targeting Conservative organizations, the Fast and the Furious Scandal, the Bundy Ranch standoff, the battle over the Affordable Care Act, nicknamed Obamacare, and the 2013 Government Shutdown, the crisis revolving around Libya, Iraq, and Syria as well as the Arab Spring, the Russian Annexation of Crimea in 2014, and several other things that made his overall Legacy, to most Historians, around Average. Not Terrible, but not perfect either. It was his Presidency that would affect another political party, his rivals, the Republicans. Following the 2014 Midterms, a large collection of Republicans who were more conservative than the rest of their party were against the Speakership of John Boehner and eventually forced him to step down. California Congressman Kevin McCarthy would attempt to succeed him but would be blocked by the House Freedom Caucus. Eventually, the Party settled on Paul Ryan, who hoped to be Speaker with a President who aligned with him, though no one could've expected the ultimate result of the 2016 Presidential Election.

Following the 2012 Election Defeat of Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, the Party did an autopsy and it found it was increasingly out of step with the youth, minority, and suburban voters and so leaders of the Party attempted to moderate it, promote the idea of being for immigration if its reformed, dropping the anti-SSM rhetoric of the Bush Years, and becoming more Socially Liberal to appeal to the youth. However, the Conservative Base disliked the idea of this happening to the party and showed their disdain with a targeted effort to defeat House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, Boehner's original successor and a leading advocate for Immigration reform within the Republican Party and one third of the so called Young Guns Trio (the other two being Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Kevin McCarthy of California) in his primary. This effort would ultimately succeed and cause the Republican Party, now spooked, to abandon immigration reform and bi-partisanship with Obama out of fear of being primaried by their voters. Then, in 2016, the Republican Primaries began. Many expected Former Secretary of State, Former Senator, and Former First Lady Hillary Clinton of New York to easily win the Nomination for the Democrats while the favorite for the Republican Party was, starting out, Former Florida Governor (1999-2007), Son of President George Herbert Walker Bush of Texas, and Brother of President George Walker Bush of Texas, Jeb Bush though the more Conservative or Libertarian wings of the Party supported Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, and Rand Paul. However, the unexpected winner of the primaries would ultimately be Businessman Donald John Trump Sr. of New York while the Democrats saw an unexpectedly fierce contest between the Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. Despite the polling leads of Clinton and all indications pointing towards a Democrat victory, including the Hollywood Access Tape that was leaked in October, Trump would ultimately win by a couple thousand cotes in three states, flipping the states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania for the first time since Reagan and Bush Sr though he lost the National Popular Vote.

The First Trump Administration (2017-2021) would be characterized by the infighting of the Party with individuals like Bob Corker, John McCain, Barbara Comstock, Mitt Romney, Jeff Flake, Dean Heller, Phil Scott, and Larry Hogan holding some kind of opposition to him while there were more obvious supporters for the President such as Ted Cruz, Matt Gaetz, Paul Gosar, Mo Brooks, Bradley Bryne, and Tom Cotton. As for Policy, the First Trump administration was, in a ways, stuck in the past, calling for the defunding of Social Security, increased militarism, tax cuts for the Wealthy, and other points of Republican orthodoxy since the 80s, however Trump would also hold true to his own ideas with increased immigration restrictionism, a focus on protectionism, an attempt at an infrastructure package, the usage of madman foreign policy, and other such America First ideas. Of course, in 2020, the COVID-19 Pandemic and George Floyd Riots and Protests that broke out across the nation would eventually lead to Trump's defeat and the much overblown, on both sides, January 6th, 2021 attempt to storm the Capital, especially when compared to the 2069 stand-off between Law Enforcement and the Military against the extreme left organization of AFANN throughout January, February, and March of that year. It is mainly due to all these factors that the First Trump Administration was less he tried and more he was manipulated by those around him, thus leading to him being given a Average score on our rating, kept afloat by his peace talks with the Taliban, North Korea, limited success on Trade and Immigration restrictionism, and the strong economy under that collapsed not due to his fault but mostly due to the Pandemic of 2020-2021.

The Biden Administration, however, can only be ranked as a horrible administration, with the locking up of individuals who were at or near the Capital on January 6th, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, the failure to get any real infrastructure deal or package out, and the collapse of the Democrats in several states, such as them losing the Governors Mansions of both New Jersey and Virginia and losing the lower Executive Offices of Virginia and both Legislative Chambers for New Jersey and the Virginia House of Delegates. Then came the 2022 Midterms, which saw Trump-aligned candidates win not just their primaries but also their general elections along with some Progressive aligned Democrats (with the firing shot being the victory of Nina Turner in Ohio 15th's special Election in 2021), with the House seeing the Republicans gain 88 House Seats due to a major collection of all that happened domestically, the overturning of Roe v Wade depressing Democrat Turnout, the War in Ukraine, rising gas and food prices, rising inflation, and the Biden Administration being unable to get much of anything really done, leading to the House going from 220D-215R to 303R-135D, the highest party majority since the 1930s and the House Freedom Caucus gained 106 New Members, going from 46 Seats to 153 of the 303 Republican Seats, a little over half of the Seats that the Party held. Thusly, the newly emboldened Freedom Caucus used their majority to switch up the Republican Party leadership, electing for Speaker Andy Biggs, electing for House Majority Leader when the Party was in a majority Scott Perry (he would be Bigg's whip if the Party was forced into a Minority by losing +84 Seats), and for Perry's Whip would be Greg Murphy while the Democrats, enraged, sought a complete change of the Party, refusing to back Hakeem Jefferies for their Leadership and forcing the Party to accept as Party Leader in the House Ro Khanna and as Party Whip was Pramila Jayapal.

Meanwhile the Senate Map was the following :

A 60R to 40D Senate Majority with the new Republican Senators being Mo Brooks (AL), Kelly Tshibaka (AK), Jake Bequette (AR), Ron Hanks (CO), Leora Levy (CT), Josh Clark (GA), Jesse Sullivan (IL), Todd Rokita (IN), Jim Carlin (IA), Kris Koback (KS), Eric Greitens (MO), Adam Laxalt (NV), Don Bolduc (NH), Joe Pinion (NY), Ted Budd (NC), Rick Becker (ND), J. D. Vance (OH), Jackson Lahmayer (OK Reg), Nathan Dahm (OK Spec), Jo Rae Perkins (OR), Sean Gale (PA), Timothy Swain (SC), Bruce Whalen (SD), and Tiffany Smiley (WA). Upon entering the halls of Congress, Fresh Senators Brooks, Tshibaka, Bequette, Hanks, Clark, Sullivan, Carlin, Kobach, Greitens, Bolduc, Budd, Becker, Vance, Lahmayer, Dahm, Gale, and Swain met with United States Senators Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, and Tom Cotton along with other members such as Marsha Blackburn, Bill Hagerty, Rand Paul, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Tommy Tuberville, Mike Lee, Roger Marshall, Cynthia Lummis, and Ron Johnson and created the Senate Patriot Caucus, forming a block of 30 Senators, half the Republican Senate Delegation to form the Senate Patriot Caucus. Unlike the House Leadership, which was an easily done affair despite McCarthy attempting to woo three votes over to him (the votes being Congresspeople Wardynski of Alabama, Greene of Georgia, and Leavitt of New Hampshire), the United States Senate was held up as the Patriot Caucus formed a united front against McConnell, forcing up to Nine Senate Leadership ballots before he finally caved into a compromise with the SPC. Said Compromise stated he would resign from Senate Leadership in 2025 following the 2024 Senate Elections, the new Senate Majority Whip would be Senator John Neely Kennedy, who stated he would not run for Leadership in 2025. Then there was demands such as a proper investigation into the Hunter Biden Scandal, a few new Permanent Committees that were involved with going after Leftist Elements in the Government and also investigating big money in politics, the NRSC chairmanship going to Hawley, and several other things. Meanwhile, the Democrats, having lost Chuck Schumer as their leader and seeing Kirsten Sinema leaving the Party to become an Independent saw the Senate become 60-37-3 (Maine Senator Angus King and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders were both Independents who caucused with the Democrats). The Party would reach a compromise on January 1st, with Illinois Senator Dick Durbin becoming the new Senate Minority Leader while replacing him as Senate Minority Whip would be Brian Schatz.

Finally, while not as important as the former two, the Governor Elections were just as Bad for the Establishment of Both Parties and was a warning sign for the Republican Party with the following result :

The New Incoming Governors of 2023 would be Lynda Blanchard (AL), Charlie Pierce (AK), Kari Lake (AZ), Sarah Huckabee Sanders (AR), Bob Stefanowski (CT), Janice McGeachin (ID), Darren Bailey (IL), Derek Schmidt (KS), Paul LePage (ME), Tudor Dixon (MI), Scott Jensen (MN), Charles Herbster (NE), Joey Gilbert (NV), Mark Ronchetti (NM), Lee Zeldin (NY), Jim Renacci (OH), Mark Sherwood (OK), Christine Drazan (OR), Joe Gale (PA), Taylor Marshall (TX), Tim Michels (WI), and Brent Bien (WY) with the state legislatures of every new Republican Governor State. The final death knell to the Estahblishment holding control of the Republican Party was when in the RNC Chair Election, Harmeet Dhillon ousted incumbent leader Ronna Romney McDaniel and became the new party chair. With a Congress that was massively hostile to his administration, President Biden found most of his legislation blocked and the Republicans attempting to jam through Legislation of their own while the states changed laws to fit their party as they saw fit and they would also ensure that their preferred Candidate, Donald John Trump Sr. of New York, would be able to get past the Primaries and the General Election without any issue. The 2023 Impeachment of Joe Biden ended with the House voting to Impeach and the Senate failing to vote for a conviction with the interesting reveal that Senators Manchin, Sinema, and, surprisingly, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, having voted to impeach, likely in fear of how the 2022 Midterms defeat for the Democrat Party being turned against them.

The 2024 Primaries would see Joe Biden struggle in his primary, losing around nine states to his Primary challenger Robert Kennedy Jr. of California while Donald Trump faced no real opposition after the political collapse of his only real opponents in the primary, Vivek Ramaswamy and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis but winning every states. At the Republican National Convention, he would announce that his Vice President would be Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn while Joe Biden was renominated with Kamala Harris being renominated for his Vice President. The 2024 Election would be just as dirty as the 2020 Election but without the COVID-19 Pandemic and the George Floyd Protests consuming the nation. Trump attacked Biden on his handling on the Economy, which had downspiraled massively, the Afghanistan withdrawal, inflation, enlonging the war in Ukraine, Hunter Biden and the stuff in the scandal, his inability to get things done, his failure to prevent the coups in Africa backed by Russia and the Wagner PMC, and several other things Trump viewed as political failures while Biden attacked Trump for being a racist dog-whistler, Charlottesville in 2017, January 6th, cozying up to Dictators like Kim Jong-Un (to which Trump responded with pointing out how Biden cozied up to tyrants like the King of Saudi Arabia), lack of respect for Human Rights, Corruption, and other things. In the end, it was the choice of the American Voter and they backed Donald Trump, who had interestingly been convicted of Treason in Fulton County but never served in Prison, over Biden and winning the National Popular Vote as well.

Former President of the United States Donald John Trump Sr. (R-FL)/United States Senator Mary Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) : 358/49.7% (37 States)
President of the United States Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (D-DE)/Vice President of the United States Kamala Devi Harris (D-CA) : 180/47.3% (13 States + ME-01 + DC)

Meanwhile, for the Senate, the Trumpian Republicans would see Gains as Mark Lamb won Arizona, Jim Banks won Indiana, Kevin Rinke won Michigan, Dan Eubanks won Mississippi, Matt Rosendale won Montana, John Glen Weaver winning Nebraska Regular while Beau McCoy remained in the Senate Seat he was appointed to after Ben Sasse's retirement, Stephanie Phillips won Nevada, Ed Durr won New Jersey, Bernie Moreno won Ohio, Manny Sethi won Tennessee, Ronny Jackson won Texas, Trent Staggs won Utah, Scott Parkinson won Virginia, Alex Mooney won West Virginia, Kevin Nicholson won Wisconsin, and Reid Rasner won Wyoming, adding 8 Senate Seats to the Republican Majority, creating a 69R-29D-2I Supermajority in the Senate while the Republicans gained 12 House Seats, bringing the House to 315R-120D and picked the Governor's Mansion of North Carolina thanks to Mark Robinson, bringing the Governors  from 41R-9D (the Republicans had flipped Kentucky and Louisiana in 2023 with Ryan Quarles and Jeff Landry respectfully) to 42R-8D. With the 2024 Elections over with, the Trump Right had won full control of the Republican Party, with Hawley becoming the new Senate Majority Leader and his Whip being Rubio. With a single seat Supermajority in the Senate and a Supermajority in the House, the Second Trump Administration (2025-2029) could do whatever it pleased for at least the first two years and it would go and do exactly that. However, the 2024 Election was just the final deathknells of the Sixth Party System and what came with the 2028, 2032, and 2036 Elections would be the final deathknell, leading to the Seventh Party System starting with United States President John Doyle of Michigan.
And there is my Future TL. Now you may wonder why I had the TL see the Republicans gain so many House, Senate, and Governor seats in the 2022 Midterms (if you're wondering how, I just gave every Republican candidate in every race +7 up and the results were above and gave an extra nudge for Primary Trumpy candidates). The reason for that is this TL is not meant to be 100% realistic. The In-Universe Author of this Timeline is a University Student from the year 2100 studying PolSci so he will also be covering these events with none of our modern biases. Just have fun with the TL, because I have a pretty big feeling everyone will enjoy the Second Trump Administration (2025-2029), Luna Administration (2029-2037), the Newsom Administration (2037-2041), and the Election of 2040, leading to President John Doyle of Michigan. Have Fun (also, would you believe this is my second time writing this? my computer bricked and autorefreshed this tab when I was working on it yesterday).

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Upon the start of the new Congress on January 3rd, 2025, President-elect Donald Trump gave the Senate his list of Cabinet Nominees and even three new potential cabinet picks, being split off from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services, as well as a brand new department, with the new positions being the Departments of Immigration Affairs, which would handle Immigration affairs unrelated to terrorist activities, of Posterity, which would handle the birthrate of the United States and its future generations, and Department of Drug Control and Addiction Aid, aimed at combating the Drug Trade and giving victims of Drug Addiction and Abuse the help they rightfully need, and he promised to sign an executive order that would create the office of National Mental Health Crisis Advisor that would advise the President on matters of Mental Health that are affecting the nation. With a much more conservative cast of people surrounding him as advisors, someone like South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, once influential within Trump's inner circle, was ousted by men like Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville, Arizona Senator Blake Masters, Ohio Senator J. D. Vance, Missouri Senators Eric Greitens and Josh Hawley, Pennsylvania Senator Sean Gale, and Montana Senator Matt Rosendale, as well as his son Donald Jr. and his friend Michael Flynn.

When the time came for the Cabinet, on the day of his inauguration, Senate Majority Leader Josh Hawley announced that all nominees would likely be confirmed by the end of the month in an easy vote due to the Republican Supermajority in the Senate. Thus, the Cabinet came to be as such :

Secretary of State : Marco Rubio (R-FL) [Replaced in the Senate by U. S. Representative Byron Donalds (Republican), who was replaced in the House via Special Election by Disabilities Activist, Actor, and 2020 Candidate for this District Darren Aquino (Republican)]

Secretary of Veterans Affairs : Tulsi Gababrd (I-HI)

Secretary of Homeland Security : Palmer Luckey (R-FL)

Secretary of Immigration Affairs : Paul Gosar (R-AZ) [Replaced in House via Special Election by Former Chief of Staff Tom Van Flein (Republican) {Position to be created later in the year}

Director of National Intelligence : Kash Patel (R-VA)

Director of the Central Intelligence Agency : Michael Flynn (R-RI)

Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation : Rudy Giuliani (R-NY)

United States Trade Representative : Peter Navarro (R-MA)

Director of the Office of Management and Budget : Dave Brat (R-VA)

Administrator of the Small Business Administration : John Schnatter (R-KY)

National Mental Health Crisis Advisor : Laurie Thompson (R-MN)

Press Secretary : Michael Knowles (R-TN)

With a Cabinet in office, President Trump would hold his first official meeting with the Senate and House throughout January, February, and March where the President, Speaker Biggs, and Senate Majority Leader Hawley began working on turning President's Agenda that he laid out throughout his entire Presidential Campaign of 2024, called Agenda47 with plans for it to be introduced and passed in Early May and go into effect the day before Labor Day, 2025. On March 9th, 2025, State Secretary Rubio was able to get Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky to agree to a meeting and in a week, they found a candidate willing to use a city to host peace talks, Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele. Trump would meet with the two European Presidents and got them to agree to the terms of the proposals his Agenda47 Plan introduced while also getting Russia to give Ukraine around $50-100 Billion to rebuild the rest of their country while the US would compensate them with $40 Billion as a singular one-time payment and UN Peacekeepers, not Russian nor Ukrainian, soldiers would be the ones deployed on the Russo-Ukrainian Border to ensure that peace remained as neither side would dare strike under the threat of a possible UN retaliation. Thus, on March 17th, the Treaty of San Salvador that ended the four year long Russo-Ukrainian War, at the anguish of the United States' more hawkish allies such as Poland, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Lithuania, Finland, and Sweden, all of whom wanted Russia to be pushed out of Ukraine and possibly even topple Putin.

With Trump's first major Foreign Policy Victory finished, he would return to the United States and continued to drum up support for the new plan he, his cabinet, and Congress were crafting into one massive piece of Legislation and also began to contact and slowly convince Governors to agree to the idea of celebrating America's 250 years of Independence that was proposed by his Agenda47 plan, though it was mainly out of pragmatism than any real sense of respect for the President and a few Governors, such as Maryland Governor Wes Moore, told the President to go pound sand, though he would eventually come around to the idea after his state legislature convinced him to enter into it.

The President's massive list of Policy proposals were quickly worked on and adjusted and added onto to become a behemoth of energy, tech, law and order, immigration, military, education, diplomacy, posterity, mental health, drug addiction, housing, infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, homeland security, manufacturing, and anti-human trafficking legislation that was mixed in with a balanced federal budget and several new ideas of the rising new right movement within the Republican Party. This massive piece of Legislation would be named the Luna-Vance Act, after Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna and Ohio Senator James David Vance, but was also known as the Making America Great Again Act/MAGA Act. In with all the policies proposed by the Trump Campaign in 2024 was a proposal to repeal Hart-Celler, making Immigration laws far harsher than ever before, new immigration quotas, and the creation of new mandatory Immigration Moratoriums that would take place every twenty years with a ten year window between every period of the Moratorium, a return to President Nixon's massive and ambitious Project Independence Plan to end American Reliance on fossil fuels and foreign energy and slowly bring them into a new era of energy while researching fusion power, and a laundry list of pro-natalist policies all based on the ideas of Hungary that were designed to increase the Birthrate of the United States above replacement level along with anti-abortion actions, such as a federal late term ban but an announcement that how the states react will be up to them, though abortions cannot happen past the late term, a mandatory showing of what abortions look like in schools to discourage it among expectant mothers and students, and to show the benefits of having a family compared to being childless and without a family through clinical studies and facts while also using great ads as well. Finally, there was a mass repeal of the PATRIOT Act and a great lessening of the deep state of the Bush Jr, Obama, First Trump Term, and Biden Administrations. The MAGA Act, called the most conservative piece of legislation to touch the desk of any US President by all news outlets and many activists and politicians, was signed into law on July 4th, 2025 and would be up for renewal in a decade with the addendum that if the law was renewed five times (meaning renewed in 2035, 2045, 2055, 2065, and 2075), it would become permanent law in the United States. At the end of 2025, Jason Mirayes would defeat Lee Carter in Virginia and Jack Ciattarelli would win re-election in New Jersey

With the end of 2025 would come the 2026 midterms and in it, President Trump would see an interesting turn of events as Senators Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Jim Risch of Idaho, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Steve Daines of Montana, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Mike Rounds of South Dakota, John Cornyn of Texas, and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, the last of the Establishment Republicans that were more aligned with the more pro-compromise, fiscally conservative, socially moderate neoconite Bush wing of the party, announced their retirement along with many older Republicans and Democrats. At the same time, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and several other major political figures were either term limited or were retiring from their terms. The 2026 Midterms would show the United States and if it approved of what President Trump had passed in his second term or if they were against it, though due to partisanship, many doubted that much would change. The resulting aftermath of the Midterms would result in perhaps one of the most surprising moments in the history of the United States.

Fresh Senators, 2027 : Buzz Kelley (R-AK), Junie Joseph (D-CO), Brian Kemp (R-GA), Bryan Zollinger (R-ID), Robert Peters (D-IL), Brian Lenney (R-IA), Savannah Maddox (R-KY), Ralph Abraham (R-LA), Michael Sylvester (D-ME), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), Omar Fateh (D-MN), Chris Brown (R-MS), Caleb Hinkle (R-MT), Chris Sununu (R-NH), Mark Walker (R-NC), Travis Nelson (D-OR), Sam Bell (D-RI), RJ May (R-SC), Tony Randolph (R-SD), Andy Ogles (R-TN), Mayes Middleton (R-TX), Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), Saira Blair (R-WV), and Andrew Ocean (R-WY)

Republicans : 71 Seats (+2)
Democrats : 27 Seats (-2)
Independents : 2 Seats (+-0)



New Governors, 2027 : Alex Lee (D-CA), Andrew Boesenecker (D-CO), Kellin Atherton (D-CT), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Grayson Lookner (D-ME), Jen McEwen (D-MN), Timothy Smith (D-NH), Farrah Chaichi (D-OR), Alan Morgan (R-SC), Aaron Aylward (R-SD), Glenn Jacobs (R-TN), and Brian Cina (D-VT)

Republicans : 35 Governors (-7)
Democrats : 15 Governors (+7)

2026 House Elections

Republicans : 275 Seats (-35)
Democrats : 160 Seats (+35)

With the 2026 Midterms over, the President saw the House Majority he held when he first took office loose its supermajority status (292 Seats were needed for a House Supermajority and they were 17 seats short). However, he gained two Senate Seats, which was believed to be because Kemp, Youngkin, and Sununu were all popular Governors with high name recognition, even if he lost Maine and lost seven Governors. Overall, due to the Republicans still being in relative control of most of the nations infrastructure, it was considered a major victory by media outlets and by the Trump Administration, who declared that the Midterms showed that even despite the losses, the American people believed that the United States was better than it had been under President Biden. What's more interesting is the Supreme Court. In 2025, President Trump was able to get the Senate Judiciary Committee to agree to a new idea of Court Packing recognized as a "Thirteen Districts, Thirteen Justices" Act that expanded the Supreme Court of the United States to Thirteen Justices, meaning Trump now had four open Court Seats to appoint candidates to and what's more, in 2025, 2026, and 2027, Justices Thomas and Alito, and Chief Justice Roberts, all announced their retirements in the respectively mentioned years. Thus, Trump announced his Supreme Court Nominees, all of whom would be easily Nominated and Confirmed to the Supreme Court.

These picks would be Eighth Circuit Judge David Stras, Third Circuit Judge David J. Porter, Tenth Circuit Judge Allison H. Eid, and Sixth Circuit Judge John K. Bush were the first four appointments of the Trump Administration following the passing and enacting of the Thirteen Justices Act that permanently set the number of Supreme Court Justices to Thirteen with the only way to change them being by unanimous vote, an impossible task that Senate Majority Leader Hawley devised. With the first four supreme court appointments for the new seats made, Trump went about appointing his final three picks, being Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who was appointed to replace Clarence Thomas, followed by Ninth Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke to replace Justice Alito, and finally former Texas Senator and Current Constitutional Law Advisor to the President Ted Cruz was appointed to replace Roberts as Chief Justice.

In just twelve years, Trump had restored the Republican Party to power in 2016, lost that power in 2018 and 2020, regained that power in 2022 and 2024, and maintained that power in 2026. He had completely changed the political environment and by the end of his second term, he was moderately popular, with a 47% Approval Rating for the job he had done to a 41% Disapprove due to his rhetoric, though his policies earned high marks of 67% Approval to 25% Disapproval and the Republicans under Hawley and Biggs saw massive increases in their support nationwide, as well as Harmeet Dhillon. Of course, the Democratic Party was still a threat, but not since the end of the Civil War had the Republican Party been so dominant and both the Speaker and the Senate Majority leader would not give up the power they had long fought for without a fight.

As 2027 came, both major parties began looking to create a field of Presidential Candidates. However, the choices seemed obvious for the Republicans, being either Vice President Blackburn, Former Florida Governor and Trump 2024 Challenger Ron DeSantis, Senate Majority Leader Josh Hawley, Ohio Senator James David Vance, or Arizona Senator Blake Masters. However, they all refused, so Trump got to speaking with a multitude of other Governors, Senators, and Representatives and eventually found one he liked, the member of the house that introduced the MAGA Act alongside Vance, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, who agreed to represent the new Trumpian wing of the party that had finally taken control. Opposing her would be Former Vermont Governor Phil Scott, representing the remaining liberal elements in the party, and Former Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy, who voted to impeach Trump in 2021, trying to represent the Moderate wing of the Party. Of course, Trump immediately endorsed Luna and she became the instant frontrunner following that moment while the Democrats would be stuck in a battle between the Establishment Neoliberal Former Vice President Kamala Harris of California and Progressive Texas Congressman Greg Cesar. With both the 2028 Primaries set, the election would turn out to be quite the political battle
