I tried to pass progressive healthcare bill

I do know this is an issue–I’ll be fixing it before the story is published! It should be possible–though very difficult–to pass as a democrat, and it is intended to be impossible if playing as a Republican.

I believe there should be added a US house and senate relationship.

I’m guessing the same applies to trying to pass a moderate/conservative abortion bill as a democrat?

In Year 6, we need a chance to get a 2/3 majority of the Senate under our control and repeal the 22nd Amendment.

For a stable and secure society.

How do you even increase that to reach a good amount? It should depend on the public’s opinion brah

Btw, my campaign against Hoffman consisted of attacking him, I followed attacks to him to the core and chose Sam and yet somehow, I end up losing in the political debate.

Public popularity does help, you get one point for being above 50% and two points for being above 57%. Raising money for your party and not pissing off Cassidy helps as well. And of course personal donations.
Even then, the absolute absolute best you could hope for is losing the house by enough of a narrow margin that the opposing party fights over it and getting a net gain in the Senate. A president getting wiped out in the midterms has been the political reality for the last 70ish years, with a few very specific exceptions

You need either high charisma or high media approval, I forget if there are any other ways to get it

I had 64 charisma, 65 media approval and I went through the strategy of attacking Hoffman by doing it all the time and choosing Sam.

And yet somehow, Hoffman wins…

Great game! Recently did a play with a all out conservative Republican while being as morally, financially and politically corrupt as possible… Got away with the whole impeachment but ended up losing re-election to Hoffman in a landslide.

On a side note, I noticed that the epilogue says that my MC lost the primary to Nunez, while that isn’t the case and I only lost the general.
