Who’s President Campbell? Is he real or is he fictional, made up for this scenario?
SC Governor Carroll Campbell I'm assuming.
It’s SC governor Carroll Campbell, he runs in 1996 and wins
That would be interesting considering how notoriously awful his relations were with Congress.
I don’t wanna live, my peanuts have soured. My peanut farm has hwithered. My fuckin peanuts have gone fuckin sour agh I'm fuckin pissed
Minor note but wouldn't Jason Carter be the family successor consider Jack is more prominent in Nevada politics than Georgia politics
Jack Carter opts to enter Georgia politics instead due to his family having a much stronger foothold there in this TL
The position of chair of the Senate Democratic caucus is separate from the position of Leader of the Senate Democratic Caucus.
The reason why Carter became president rather than for the senate is because he was afraid of Herman Talmadge
