Chapter 1,694 A Clown?

When I woke up, all the stress in my heart was completely gone.

Li Zitao stretched out comfortably, carefully avoiding the crossed thighs and arms, and got out of the bed, heading towards the bathroom.

When he cleaned up and came out, Annie was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for today's briefing report.

However, her eyes were always attracted by the scenery on the bed, preventing her from concentrating on completing her job.

"Ahem." With a slight cough, Li Zitao returned her attention to her work and asked proactively, "Alan, how is he now?"

"After rejecting the boss's proposal, he wants to further expand his influence and is actively planning to become the next party whip."

"Just him?"

Li Zitao really felt ridiculous for his whims. At his age, it was already rare and valuable to be able to enter the Congress.

Now that you are still trying to get the position of party whip, do you really think that all those old men in their 50s and 60s are dead?

"Is Danstead still the leader of the Senate Republican Party?" Li Zitao asked.

"Yes, he still won re-election." Anne said with some admiration.

The veteran senator has firmly held the position of majority leader for many years and has been reelected for more than ten terms now.

He is simply an evergreen tree in Congress and a tumbler in politics.

I don’t know how many competitors pray every day before dinner: Merciful God, please take away your devout believers and become Senator Sid!

"I remember that the leader of the minority party is his distant descendant." Li Zitao said.

Although Roosevelt was at the forefront, the Democratic Party was still in the minority in Congress, not to mention that the Republican Party had more capital support behind it, including Lee.

"Yes." Annie said.

"Let him take proper care of Yalan and don't let him lose his way." Li Zitao said, snapping his fingers and said: "In addition, he will be added to the invitation list for this year's annual meeting."

The annual meeting is about to be held in more than two months, and the number of members of Club 22 is getting larger and larger. Managing it is not an easy task.

"Madam said that this year it will be held at Lee's Castle." Anne still remembered this.

"Follow what she said. Mary prepared the annual meetings in previous years." Li Zitao had no objection to this.

…

Washington, Capitol Hill.

The Senate was crowded as Democratic senators gathered to discuss who should take over as party whip.

Most were bullish and supportive of senior senator Cormac Mace.

There was also support for the senior member of the congressional committee, Kirsler Brand, who was known as a well-liked person in Congress.

As for Aram Gumans, in the eyes of most people, he is just a political speculator and a sinister villain who seeks to climb up through shortcuts.

Even with his qualifications of less than one term, he still wants to run for the post of party whip.

The congressmen who heard the news only regarded it as a joke and the butt of jokes after dinner.

In fact, according to previous exchanges of opinions, the choice of party whip this time will almost certainly fall on Kirsler Brand.

Unless something unexpected happens, such as the opinion from the party leader that Kirsler Brand is not his person, this is the biggest variable.

However, politics is always changing and unpredictable.

Even a politician who has been immersed in politics for half his life may lose all his rights in an instant and become a loser and end up in embarrassment.

"Members and gentlemen, the leader is here." As the voice sounded, the noise of conversation gradually died down.

The old man in a straight suit, with white temples and a resolute face walked into the venue.

He was Senate Minority Leader George F. Fitzgerald.

Yes, his grandfather was John F. Fitzger, Kendy Sr.'s father-in-law, and his aunt was Kendy Sr.'s wife.

The relationship with Donstead Basfit goes back a lot longer. Their great-great-grandfathers are cousins, and they are both from political families, so they have always kept in touch.

"Quiet, please." All whispers died away as George F. Fitzger took the podium.

"You all know very well what we are gathered here for today. I think you have made your own decisions about the new party whip candidates.

Here, I believe that whether Cormac Metz or Kirsle Brand is elected, they will fulfill their duties and obligations as party whips with due diligence..."

Aram Gumans, who was sitting in the fourth row, looked gloomy after not hearing his name from the party leader.

He knew it was impossible, but Prabos Korda insisted that he try.

After today, he will become a laughing stock in the Senate, unable to fulfill his duties and exercise power.

Even if he becomes a senior member of parliament based on his seniority, this incident will still become a stain on him and reduce his influence.

"They believe in Li's power too much." Alan Gumans thought in distress.

"Please start voting!" While thinking, George Fitzgerald had already announced the start of voting.

Alan pinched the note written in his hand, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his pocket. He took a deep breath and took out another piece of paper and wrote "Kessel Brand".

He prefers Kirsler Brand to the powerful Cormac Mace.

What's more, if he serves as the party whip, I believe he will not mind his previous "overestimation of his abilities" and will not embarrass himself because of it.

This is what Alan cares about, and his performance is worthy of the response and awareness that a real politician should have.

No matter what situation you encounter, you will never give up until the last moment.

Forty minutes later, the voting ended.

After another half-hour of vote counting, the new candidate for the party whip was officially announced. "The person who will become the new party whip will be Kirsler Brand."

Kirsler Brand received a total of 174 votes and won an overwhelming victory and was elected as the new minority whip.

Wow~

Warm applause broke out, and even Kirsler Brand's competitor, Cormac Mace, stood up, smiled and applauded.

At this time, he is the person who should maintain his grace the most. If he looks gloomy or walks away, he will be in the major news newspapers the next day.

At the same time, he will also make enemies of his colleagues in the party. You should know that Kessle Brand is famous for his good popularity.

Although they have different opinions, even many people around him like this friendly and smart old man.

If he humiliates the opponent at this time, Cormac Mace will dig his own grave, and perhaps even his supporters will leave him.

Based on the above factors, even if he wanted to punch him in his heart, Cormac Mace still had to keep a warm smile and step forward to give him a hug and blessing.

"Bless you, my friend." There were no additional requirements, expectations or wishes, just simple blessings, which brought Cormac Mace a wave of praise.

As expected of a senior member of the party, ordinary people simply cannot learn this shameless skill!
