OOC: This is in a timeline where Elvis lives longer but politics are mostly the same.
Elvis tried running for Congress as a Republican in Mississippi in 1984, the same year Reagan won reelection. His campaign was publicized and was embarrassing to watch as he made so many gaffes and seemed ignorant of so many basic things. The election had him lose by a 2-1 ratio after a financial scandal broke out in September 1984. He lived until 1998 until he was killed in a car accident.
