They also seem to be softly-nationalist. Honestly, they seem to be the perfect party for me. Sign me up as a member.
The 1946 United Nations Senate Elections were the first of their kind in the world, one of the first legislative bodies elected by such a large portion of the world. Established by the United Nations Charter in 1945, the Senate was to act in order to help promote peace and prosperity across all the world. One of its weakest points however, was the fact that there was no universal standard to election to it. While in many democracies, the election was held fairly and openly, other states like USSR had sham elections, and countries such as Saudi Arabia and Iran simply appointed them. After taking their seats, the Senators organized themselves out of their political affiliations. The New Liberal Party, was a big tent centrist party that attracted classical and social liberals from all over the world, but the United States has much control over the bloc. The League For Values is a bloc that is primarily consistent of absolute monarchies, dictatorships, military juntas and right wing governments that nonetheless joined the allies in World War 2. The bloc promotes loyalty to their countries and decidedly culturally conservative values. The Social Democrats are a party that have ridden the waves of the new Social Democratic and Democratic Socialist governments that have taken power mostly in Europe. They seek to promote strong welfare states and many are focused on dismantling (although not too fast) their colonial empires if they have them. The Democratic Union Party Of The Americas is a third positionist coalition that seeks to promote Latin American unity and is dominated by the supporters of such personalities like Getúlio Vargas and Juan Peron. Finally, the United Communist Party. Although predicted to have a strong chance in winning post war senatorial elections in Western and Southern Europe, however the only free election they won was in Czechoslovakia, making the USSR claim that elections were rigged in many countries. No one party ended up having the majority though, and the New Liberals decided to enter a minority government with the Social Democrats, although League countires such as the Dominican Republic and China would frequently cross over to vote for some of the USA's legislation.

Oh my. Alfonso López Pumarejo in an infobox.
Though it's Colombia, not Columbia.

The United States presidential election of 2052 was a contentious one. In 2048, Alexander Hertling, the Conservative Governor of Florida, had swept into the White House in a landslide, on a platform of fiscal conservatism, "putting America first", and a general call to order for the American nation and to "end lawlessness, immorality, and debauchery" -- his four year term as President of the United States had been an unmitigated disaster. The Liberals had been hopeful that 2052 was their year to win the national election, but had their hopes dashed quickly.
Jamie Greene had served as a Major General in the USAF, whose role was growing less and less focused on Terra-bound air missions, but on facilitating the boldly going where no man had gone before, to quote a show from nearly a century prior. In 2052, the Common Sense movement which began as a spark on the Internet, began to grow in power as Maj. Gen. Greene was drafted by the party (consisting of disgruntled anti-Hertling Conservatives, and people on the left of the Liberals, whom were unwilling to support the fringe Social Justice Party.), and was hailed as the "21st Century Eisenhower".
Her campaign hit the President for "backing down from American obligations", and emphasized her background as both a leftist supporter (her having been a member of the Socialist Party, USA during the early 21st century,) and her upbringing by two Reaganite Republicans. She emphasized the need for America to cooperate abroad, and to adhere to the ever buzz-word: common sense.
After the votes were counted, both on Earth, and on America's settlements off-planet whom had statehood or any other means like that, it showed that while Greene commanded a plurality, she did not win the election outright, resulting in a hung Electoral College. Enough of the House was convinced to vote for her as President of the United States, but the Senate, dominated by the Hertling Conservatives, refused to consider Sen. Nathan Wilson of Nevada to be the VPOTUS, and instead chose the incumbent Vice President David Kowalski.
On January 20, 2053, President Greene was sworn in, and the next chapter in America began.

What has happened to US demographics that a colony ship has a larger population than California?

Earth is still pretty sick from global warming and ecological problems -- lots of damage to the planet has left many parts of California too hostile to live in long-term. Also, those ships are actually a mixture of long-term military personnel and colonists. The USS Eisenhower is stationed on the outer-rim of our solar system, and the USS Obama is stationed in Alpha Centauri.
Makes sense, but letbme rephrase the question. How many people live in California, and how many live on one of those ships?
Also, how do you maintain representative democracy across light years of distance. And how has a ship reached Alpha Centuari in this century?
This is excellent! Will there be more?
The population boom in the Great Plains and Mountain West (relative to New England) is interesting, as is the fact that this U.S. apparently includes Taiwan and the Falklands.
I also like the fact that green represents Greene - was that intentional?

The State of California, based on her 28 electoral votes, has... idk, maybe around 20-21million?
Representative democracy is maintained due to the way that the colony ships have been set up -- by and large they're floating states. A ship has reached Alpha Centauri this century due to immense breakthroughs in early warp technology in the 2030s. We're not very capable of going further than Alpha Centauri at this point, and are primarily focusing on understanding our home system before expanding outwards, hence why the colonies aren't numerous outside of Earth, Mars and Luna.
It wasn't intentional, no. And I figured a slow crawling reversal of global warming, and an attempt to support fertile Earth would encourage settlement into the Great Plains and Mountain West.
Because I'm one biased motherfucker and I will never accept my state's slow, quiet death due to irresponsible climate action. I would say "Governor Scott sold his soul to Satan for Florida to stay healthy" but he is Satan, so that wouldn't work.
