Election Highlights
Democratic Primary:
The Democratic race was on of new times and new faces. Two of the top notch candidates were the youngest in US history. Secretary Hana and Robinson generally had very little conflict due to their affiliation to the same "Cruz" regime. However, Secretary Robinson outshined the beginning of the race, winning the first 8 States (Iowa, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alabama, Minnesota, Illinois, Wyoming, and South Carolina). This surge led to the suspension of Secretary Hana's campaign. Republican Primary:
Among Republican infighting President Ted Cruz managed to come out on top. Despite heavy competition from Rep. William Smith, Cruz's ideals of a president were flooded into the Republican mainstream ultimately leading to the conclusion Smith was not experienced enough. A fault in which he would bring up repeatedly against the Democrat's nominee Senator Tesis.
General Election
Senator Tesis visited many red states in the hopes of changing their conservative philosophy and turning the south blue again. He managed to travel to every state having intimate discussions with locals from residents in large cities to small towns. President Cruz pandered in the central hubs
Olivia won the election and nobody saw it coming. He is one of the only independent parties to win the election.
On December 17th, the Electoral College voted and confirmed Olivia's Presidency.
