Early in William McKinley’s Second Term, he was shot and nearly killed by a radical anarchist. What if he doesn’t survive? His VP, Theodore Roosevelt, seems to have been an interesting character with some progressive ideas, especially for a Republican at the time. Is there any chance for some progressive reforms decades earlier than OTL? Of course, the failed assassination set back progressivism and populism as associated with the assassination plot, and the US wouldn’t elect a Progressive President until Hoover in 1932 for that reason. I’d also be interested in potential affects on foreign policy, as McKinley and subsequently President Fairbanks were more isolationist than Roosevelt seems to have been.
