Chapter 1,442 Let’s Drink Until We Vomit

The opening time is the day after the polling day.

Several mainstream TV media and some online media will broadcast the vote counting results in each state in real time.

In an apartment building in Washington, several men were sitting on the sofa, staring intently at the vote counting results on the TV screen. The beating numbers seemed to have magical power, freezing time and language, and taking away all their attention.

At this time, a man in a suit opened the door and walked in.

Looking in the direction of the door, John Kennedy asked immediately.

"How's the situation?"

"I just asked, the results of Hawaii have come out, we won!"

After hearing these words, John Kennedy did not show any pride or excitement on his face. He just looked at the map of the United States on the wall and said calmly.

"Hawaii has only four electoral votes, and it is our traditional vote base. Winning in Hawaii means nothing. The key is those swing states. Only by winning those swing states can we win this election..."

At this moment, John F. Kennedy, who was staring at the TV screen, suddenly had a happy expression on his face. Although he quickly hid it behind his calm expression, the curve of the corner of his mouth was difficult to hide.

In less than half a minute, the results of the Indiana vote came out. John F. Kennedy won the state by a slim margin of 500 votes. According to the winner-take-all system of the Electoral College, all the state’s 11 electoral votes will go into his pocket.

But that wasn't what excited him the most.

You know, Indiana has always leaned toward the Republican Party, but now it has fallen into the arms of the Democratic Party. Although they only won by a slim margin, the significance of poaching such a piece of the area painted red on the map is still quite significant.

"Well done, the people of Indiana have turned to the embrace of the deep blue. I guess the Republican congressmen will be grateful to death for the loudmouth they elected," Joel Nissen, who was sitting next to Kennedy, whistled and said in a relaxed tone The tone was teasing.

"At least we'll thank him," Jim Margolis said with a smile.

Laughter sounded in the living room, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Although the outcome was not yet clear, everyone's clenched fists and furrowed brows could not help but relax. God bless, fortunately the American people are still sane, and fortunately the credit of the Democratic Party has not been exhausted.

At this moment, the laughter in the room suddenly stopped.

John F. Kennedy, who was looking at the TV screen, suddenly felt his mood drop from the clouds to the bottom, and his face gradually darkened.

Just now, the host on TV reported the results of the Missouri election.

With a 5% advantage, eleven electoral votes fell into the pocket of that scoundrel.

The originally great advantage was reversed in an instant, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat silent for a while.

"It's okay, the outcome is not yet clear," Joel Nissen put his hand on Kennedy's shoulder and comforted, "The key to determining the outcome is Florida and Ohio. As long as these two swing states are won, victory will It’s still ours.”

Taking a deep breath, John Kennedy said slowly.

"I know."

Florida and Ohio have twenty-seven and twenty electoral votes respectively, while Missouri's eleven electoral votes are less than half of those two states. However, Missouri's failure still made his originally relieved heart hang again.

The throne of the president is only one step away from him. It will be revealed at this moment whether the hard work of the past year has been paid off or worthless.

The hands that were originally slack clenched again.

His palms gradually became sweaty...

…

"Hahaha! Well done! Ivanka, go help your dad get the champagne from the refrigerator. My dear Mr. Bannon, the party has started early! We won two swing states! This is great victory!"

He punched the table hard.

Trump laughed loudly.

Ivanka rolled her eyes, but still walked to the kitchen.

Just now, three swing states have made their choices.

In addition to Colorado making the wrong choice, Nevada and Missouri, which hold 5 and 11 electoral votes respectively, have already stuffed their electoral votes into his pocket. The locking of the votes in the two swing states wiped away the gloom that had stained his brows a few minutes ago due to the rebellion in Indiana.

"It's too early to celebrate victory. When the election results in Florida come out, I will definitely have a drink with you." Steve Bannon pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and stared at the vote counting results on the TV screen. Said calmly.

Steve Bannon, former executive chairman of the far-right media Breitbart News, is now the director-general of the Trump campaign. Although Mr. Bannon does not speak much in public, he is the ideological source of the Trump campaign team.

Standing next to him now was Kellyanne Conway.

As the only female member of Trump's campaign team, she is also the first female presidential campaign manager in the history of the Republican Party. To a large extent, it was Ms. Conway who reversed white women’s bad impression of Trump as “disrespectful of women.” And it is precisely because of her words that "voters are eager to have someone outside the Washington political circle to challenge the existing power structure" that prompted Trump to stand firmly on the "non-mainstream" campaign route , alongside Bannon, can be called the two generals in Trump’s campaign team.

"I agree with Mr. Bannon's point of view. It's a little early to start the party." Kellyanne Conway agreed with Steve Bannon's point of view, but the joy between her brows was astonishing. Same.

The numbers shown on TV proved that her work over the past few months was not in vain. Whether it is for the promised bonus or the promise of entering the White House, this moment is worthy of joy. The Republican Party, which was originally at a disadvantage, has gradually caught up with the Democratic Party, which is temporarily leading. There is even a faint Exceeded sign.

But it's too early to say this now.

The electoral votes of the remaining three swing states are enough to change everything and reshuffle the so-called advantages and disadvantages. Steve Bannon closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart, his clenched palms almost soaked with sweat.

At this moment, wild laughter sounded again, breaking the silence in the living room.

"Haha, we won! We won! My dear Mr. Bannon!"

Just now, Florida, with its twenty-seven electoral votes, has made its choice.

It goes without saying what these twenty-seven electoral votes mean.

The game is not over yet, but the winner has been decided...

"You must have a drink with me this time! And Kailian, you also have a share! Let us celebrate this great moment, we won!" Unscrewing the bottle cap with a bang, Trump smiled. With his face glowing red, he handed the wine bottle in his hand to Steve Bannon, his trembling tone full of excitement, "Let's drink to America!"

Opening his eyes and facing the eye-catching red letters on the TV screen, Steve Bannon was silent for a long time without answering.

His eye circles gradually turned red, and he suddenly stood up and shouted in a stumbling voice.

"There's not enough champagne. Bring me the whiskey! I'm going to drink until I vomit today!"
