Go for it, I know how difficult it is to find good pictures of him from the 1990s.
That's it? Wasn't that basically most politicians at the time? I'd think that killing off the last of Tammany Hall would be more important.
He set up an entrapment plan in order to divide the LGBT community and make them distrust others.
As homophobic as Warren were, he didn't do something like that.
Next up, 2000:
Jean Charest resigned as Prime Minister in 1998, to make the unprecedented decision to instead switch over to provincial politics in a bid to oust the Parti Quebecois from power. Charest was succeeded as Prime Minister by Elsie Wayne, who led the party until Charest's successor could be chosen, and then by former Prime Minister Joe Clark, who made a political comeback and became Prime Minister nearly two decades after having left office.
The 2000 election saw the parties remain identical in terms of the popular vote, but the Progressive Conservatives saw their vote decline sharply in Quebec and moderately in Ontario, allowing the Liberals to win these seats and win a minority of 111 seats, bringing Jean Chretien back to power.

President Warren's second term saw the incremental escalation of American involvement in Southeast Asia and the president taking further executive action to protect the civil rights of African-Americans and other minorities that the Senate, with its southern delegation acting as a continuous filibuster, was loath to do.
The economy was still humming, but the Republicans were facing the disadvantage of being the incumbent party for the previous 16 years. Vice President Dirksen made it clear he would not run for his own term and the party, after some spectacularly vicious party in-fighting, selected former California Senator and Secretary of Defense Richard Nixon as the party's next nominee over the liberal candidacies of Nelson Rockefeller and William Scranton. Nixon picked Scranton to ideologically balance the ticket, but Rockefeller pointedly refused to endorse the ticket, hinting darkly at skeleton's in Nixon's closet. The drama surrounding Rockefeller ended abruptly as the scion of the Rockefeller dynasty left the party for the Progressives shortly after Nixon's speech at the Republican National Convention.
The Progressives picked one of their best candidates, Minnesota Senator Hubert Humphrey after it became clear that this would be their best shot to win the White House since FDR. Humphrey selected fellow senator Missourian Stuart Symington as his running-mate, bringing defense credentials to the domestic-policy wonk's team. Northern Democrats, emboldened by the 1960 win in Michigan, reasserted themselves by preventing a segregationist from leading the Democratic ticket. Mississippi Governor Paul B. Johnson Jr, a noted moderate (by Deep South standards) and who had reluctantly began a very gradual push towards integration, became their nominee.
The national lead switched between Nixon & Humphrey constantly as the Deep South remained out of play for the two openly anti-segregationist (ardently so in Humphrey's case) main party candidates. Nixon ran on the strong Republican economic record and promised to bring victory in Southeast Asia. Humphrey attacked Nixon as not going far enough for bringing civil rights and attacked the Republicans as "holding back the tidal waves of progress and decency" by not instituting further domestic programs to help the poor and sick.
The final result shocked the nation. Humphrey won the popular vote, but Nixon won a majority in the Electoral College by the thinnest of margins (if only one Nixon state had gone to either Humphrey or Johnson, it would have been a hung Electoral College). The Progressives won a clear victory in the congressional elections, but were stunned at the fifth consecutive Republican presidential victory.

Darn, Humphrey never can seem to catch a break. Hopefully winning the popular vote means he'll be back in 1968.
Nixon won, i'm happy.
Any moves to abolish the electoral college?
In-universe? Probably from some Progressives who are miffed that this is the second time in four elections that the Progressives won the popular vote but lost the EC (the other was Dewey's reelection in 1952).
Out-of-universe, while it would make the infobox series easier, since the UK didn't go through a change of how they elect their MPs in this time period IOTL (and this is a "US with UK-style parties" themed one after all), it's going to keep on chugging along until the series ends.
In 2012, due to some stupid events happening (More Neocon Tea Party?), Rush Limbaugh gets the Republican Nomination. I'm basing the results off of a poll which had Obama leading by 16, I don't know why they did it, but they did.
In the House, the Democrats get 35 Seats, putting Pelosi with the Gavel once again, and the Democrats are able to get 57 Seats in the Senate. I want to live in this TL so badly.
(The downballot numbers are more unrealistic since Republicans would probably try spending their time on Senate and House races instead of the Presidential one)

Next up, 2004:
Jean Chretien was able to govern fairly successfully during his second term as Prime Minister, with a relatively comfortable (by recent standards, anyway) minority government and his ability to work well with both the NDP and the Progressive Conservatives. Despite these successes, Chretien retied in 2003, largely due to Liberal infighting among members wanting to make Paul Martin Prime Minister. Indeed, Martin won the race to succeed Chretien, but more difficult relationships with the NDP and the newly merged Conservative Party resulted in a quick election for 2004.
Ultimately, Martin was able to win a term of his own, and under his leadership the Liberals increased their seat count, coming the closest (at least since 1993) that any party has come to winning a majority government. The Conservatives and the NDP won the same amount of seats, although citing their larger standing in the legislature prior to dissolution, the speaker ruled that the Conservatives would form the official opposition.
