And now, with the colors fixed and stuff, ta-da! Now we're using the Dems=Red, GOP=Blue color palette, b/c that's what Wikipedia uses!
"The Sakuraverse" / The West Wing Integrates Into Our Timeline
The 2016 United States presidential election was a contentious one, with many candidates throwing themselves into the ring to seek election. The primaries consisted of Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Senator Bernie Sanders, Governor Martin O'Malley, among other minor candidates. A strange, yet admirable candidate was Former Deputy Chief of Staff Joshua Lyman. A liberal Democrat, he had strong liberal credentials during his time in the White House in the 1990s, and attracted voters from both Clinton and Sanders. While not considered a front-runner by any means, he managed to garner enough support from grassroots campaigns and Democrats who wanted to bring back the old Bartlett-era policies, and secured the nomination at the convention.
Despite Barack Obama's relatively successful two terms in office, there were growing concerns that Lyman would be bogged down by the Iran deal, which had narrowly made it through the Senate, as well as being bogged down by some of the lesser points of his time as Deputy Chief of Staff -- particularly questions regarding his fitness for office after being diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1999 after being nearly killed by white supremacists, the debacle with marijuana legalization during the tenure of Milly Griffith as Surgeon General, and the Presidential Health Scandal that nearly cost Josiah Bartlett re-election in 2000.
Despite these concerns, Joshua Lyman secured his victory, in no small part thanks to his crack political team, his charming and well-adored wife, Donna Lyman, and the shining endorsement of former President Bartlett. With this victory, he would become the next President of the United States. Lyman was also noted for being one of the youngest Presidents of the United States, being elected at age 47 (he was born in 1969)
