President Paul has been shot! We repeat!

"News is coming in that President Paul has been shot by Trump supporter Jonathan Smith. Witnesses report that the assassin had called Paul a thief for being chosen as President instead of Trump. Many other Republicans have also faced threats of violence since the election, some even resigning for it." -

Ron Paul during a eulogy at President Paul's funeral
Rand Paul is an interesting case, chosen to be President after running the most successful third party election in US History. Despite his short run as President, he did have quite the impact, or at least his death did. The Libertarian Party received a large amount of votes during the 2018 and 2020 elections, some out of pity, some from Republicans leaving for the Libertarian Party. One thing that ended up happening because of President Paul was the Electoral College was reformed, with a proportional system allocating electoral votes. A compromise for those who wanted to abolish the Electoral College and those who wanted to keep the Electoral College.
"President Paul inspired me and many others into running for office. He showed that despite hardships, you can do anything if you put your mind to it! No matter who opposes you! That is why I shall run for President of these United States!" -

"The effect of the Free State Project also changed the election system. New Hampshire became a Libertarian safe-state up to the 2072 election when the state was lost to the Progressive Party. Even after the Free State Project's 20,000 movers had reached New Hampshire in 2013, more Libertarians kept moving to the state to make it into the perfect Libertarian paradise. Multiple other similar projects were set up in various other states in the US including Washington, Texas, and Indiana. Those kinda stalled, but recruitment to Libertarian ideals did spread in those states with Washington eventually becoming a swing state and Texas and Indiana becoming Libertarian safe states." -

"Gary, I need you to stay right now. I'm already inheriting a mess of a situation. Just until the midterms, at least. You were his running mate, you might be able to help me keep the peace."
"Keep the peace? Rand is de-"
"I know he is! Look, I may not have agreed with him on many issues, but I do know he was a good person. I want to keep my administration as moderate as I can. Keeping you on my cabinet is one step to doing that."
"*sigh* Okay, I'll stay, but you have to make sure to input some of his Libertarian ideals into your administration."
"Deal."-
Part of a private Conversation between President Tim Kaine and Secretary Gary Johnson.
"Gary Johnson was an inspiration to me. His determination to keep going even after President Paul's death is something that kept me going. With the support of my husband John and my dear friend James, I have decided to run as Washington State's Senator to D.C.! Together, we will bring Liberty to all!" -
