In an emotional press conference with President Clinton, longtime Senators Debbie Stabenow and Dianne Feinstein announced their retirements. Both cited that a woman is finally President, with Feinstein staying, "We, as a country, have shattered a ceiling. Now, it's time for other to shatter their own ceilings." Stabenow and Feinstein both expressed gratitude to the President. Feinstein's seat is expected to be filled by a Democrat, while Democrats will have a harder time keeping Stabenow's Michigan seat, a state that shifted toward Republicans in 2016.

August 25th, 2017: Clinton Announces Climate Change Initiative


President Clinton announced that in the wake of Hurricane Harvey's destruction in Texas and a forming hurricane off the coast of Puerto Rico and Florida, she will increase funding for the EPA and other environmental protection agencies in the coming months. Clinton also said that the U.S. government will help those affected by the hurricanes. Clinton is expected to sign executive orders and push bills through Congress to combat the effects of climate change.

September 3rd, 2017: Garland Finally Confirmed


The Senate has finally confirmed Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court, with 55 yeas to 45 nays. 3 Republicans, Sen. Susan Collins(ME), Sen. Lisa Murkowski(AK) and Sen. John McCain(AZ) voted for Garland. This marks a major shift in the Supreme Court, putting a majority of liberal to moderate judges on the bench. Garland will be sworn in tomorrow, finally putting 9 justices on the court once again.

September 11th, 2017: Clinton Attends Memorial Service in NYC


President Clinton, a year after she collapsed at the same event, attended the 911 Memorial Service in New York City.

September 23rd, 2017: Gillepie vs. Northam in Virginia


Lt. Governor Ralph Northam and Frmr. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie will face off in Virginia's Gubernatorial election on November 7th. Northam beat out former Congressman Tom Perriello in a close contest, with Northam winning by 2.5%. Gillespie also narrowly beat out Corey Stewart on the Republican side. Primaries were also held for the Senate special election on the same day, with incumbent Mark Herring, a Democrat, officially facing Congresswoman Barbara Comstock.

October 3rd, 2017: President "Hillary"


In a new move to try and bump the President's approval ratings, aides and senior officials will begin to call President Clinton "Hillary". This effort is to try and increase her likability numbers as well as make her more approachable. Many Americans feel the President is "out of touch" and "cold". Clinton will travel to Virginia and New Jersey tomorrow to campaign for Democrats in those upcoming election. 

October 13th, 2017: Trump: "Women are meant for childbirth"


Newly-elected Congressman Donald Trump Jr. today said that "women are meant for childbirth, motherhood". These comments sparked outrage from both sides of the aisle and even caused President Clinton to respond, saying, "Congressman Trump, much like his father, has no respect for women and the role they play in our government." Trump Jr. has said he will not resign but faces strong pushes to do so from Speaker Ryan and House Democrats. These comments will not help Trump in his blue district where he narrowly won over Democrat Bill Thompson.

October 27th, 2017: Gillespie Campaign in Collapse


Frmr. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie's campaign for Governor of Virginia is in collapse, after new reports show that his campaign has just $15,000 dollars on-hand. Reports show that Republicans are more focused on the Senate battle in the state, resulting in little financial help for Gillespie. Gillespie has laid off hundreds of campaign staffers and has not held one campaign event in 6 days. As Gillespie falters, Republican Congresswoman Barbara Comstock looks poised to win the Virginia Senate race over incumbent Mark Herring. Comstock leads by 5 points in the most recent polls and would be a key pickup for Republicans.

November 7th, 2017: Comstock Wins Senate Seat while Northam, Murphy Grab Governor Mansions


In a major pickup for Republicans, Congresswoman Barbara Comstock narrowly defeated incumbent Senator Mark Herring in Virginia, winning Vice President Tim Kaine's old seat. Comstock's win narrows the Democratic majority to 1 seat and could result in a 50-50 split if Republicans win in Alaska on December 7th. On the Governor side, Lt. Governor Ralph Northam defeated Republican Ed Gillespie who's campaign dried up in late October. In New Jersey, Frmr. Ambassador Phil Murphy was elected over Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno, resulting in a Governorship pickup for Democrats. The night had mixed emotions for both parties, as Democrats celebrated winning Governor races and Republicans celebrated winning a Senate seat in a leftward moving state.

Virginia Governor: 98% Reporting
Northam- 52.5%

Predictions/thoughts?

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

It seems strange the way you gave Democrats an effective 4 point swing in Congressional Races in 2016 in the time line, but only a 1% swing in the Presidential Race. Also, The New York District you had Donald Trump Jr. winning, would never vote Republican. It has a D+34 PVI, which is nearly triple the scale of the real life largest PVI for a District controlled by the other party (MN-07, R+12). It also happens to be majority African American.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

Thank GOD Northam still won. I was scared that might change after Hillary was elected President. As for predictions, I say Democrats keep the Senate in 2018. Why? Just because that'd be fun and original for Hillary 2016 TL's

November 15th, 2017: Hatch Retiring, Love and Romney Eye Seat


Long-serving Utah Senator Orrin Hatch announced today that he will retire when his term expires in 2018, opening the door for high profile Republicans to fill the seat. Frmr. Massachusetts Governor and 2012 Republican nominee is reportedly eyeing the seat as Rep. Mia Love reaches out to potential donors. Hatch has said that he hopes a "strong-minded American fills my seat." Love and Romney could run against each other, which would open up a nasty primary in a deep red state.

December 1st, 2017: Feingold, Sanders Announce Cross-Country Tour


Senators Bernie Sanders and Russ Feingold will be touring the country over 2018, campaigning intensely for progressive candidates. Feingold, who reclaimed his old Senate seat in 2016, will campaign across the rust belt for fellow Democrats trying to hold onto seats. Sanders, an Independent, says that this tour is not an endorsement of the Democratic party or a shift towards a specific party in general. Sanders is famous for being a reliable Democratic vote but still stays a registered Independent.

December 7th, 2017: Parnell Defeats Mallott, 50-50 Senate Split


Frmr. Governor Sean Parnell won in Alaska tonight, defeating Independent Bryon Mallott, who caucused this Democrats. Parnell trounced Mallott in a red state and this means that come January, the Senate will have a 50-50 split. Vice President Tim Kaine will be a decisive force, having to vote on many bills and break ties. Mallott bemoaned his loss, saying, "This is a dark day in Alaska's history. Senator-elect Parnell is not the real voice of this state." Republicans celebrated across the country with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tweeting, "Come January, I'll be the Republican Leader. No minority!"

Alaska: 100% Reporting
Parnell-64.1%
Mallott- 35.7%

January 4th, 2018: Clinton Approval Ticks Back Up


President Clinton is starting off 2018 with a higher approval rating, with 46% of American now approving of her job performance, according to a new Gallup Poll. Clinton's approval bottomed out in late 2017, hitting 40%. Her administration has clawed back though, fighting hard to turn public opinion. A key to this new popularity? Likability. 43% of Americans now "like" President Clinton, up from 29% in September.

Clinton Approval Rating:
Disapprove: 54%

January 18th, 2017: Scott Launches Senate Bid


Florida Governor Rick Scott will run for retiring Senator Bill Nelson's seat in November, opening up a big potential win for Republicans. The GOP looks poised to win the Senate in 2018, with only 1 pickup needed to gain control. The only declared Democrat is former Congressman Patrick Murphy, who lost his Senate race last year to Marco Rubio. Murphy is considered a weak candidate, having just run for Senate in 2016. President Clinton is expected to be lobbying Representative and former Governor Charlie Crist to run for the seat. Crist's entrance would make this a big race and a rematch after the two ran for Governor in 2014 against each other. 

January 20th, 2018: Clinton's State of the Union Sparks Hope for Democrats


President Clinton delivered a strong performance at her first State of the Union tonight. The President outlined her agenda for 2018, focusing more on social issues than the economy or foreign policy. 88% of Americans said they "liked" the speech while 61% said they came away feeling "optimistic". Clinton's big moment of the night was when she announced that by 2021, 2.5 million solar panels will be added across the country. The official Republican Response was delivered by new Senator Barbara Comstock of Virginia, who outlined her parties agenda and highlighted their recent special election wins.

February 1st, 2018: Love Announces Senate Campaign, Romney Endorses


In a joint appearance with Governor Mitt Romney, Congresswoman Mia Love announced her campaign for Senate in Utah. Love and Romney had reportedly both wanted the seat but Love worked out some agreement with Romney. Love would make history if elected and touched on that heavily in her announcement speech. Love is expected to win in a deep, deep red state. Love's win would be good PR for Republicans, who have to fight the image of a majority white, predominantly male, political party.

February 18th, 2018: Bill Clinton Suffers Stroke, Dies at age 71


At a speech in Michigan, former President and First Gentlemen Bill Clinton began to slur his words. He was then rushed off stage where he suffered a massive stroke. The former President, at age 71, is dead. Americans mourn the passing of a former President and the death of the spouse of a sitting President. President Hillary Clinton has cancelled meetings over the next 3 days and Vice President Tim Kaine has taken over a few appearances and meetings on her behalf.

March 1st, 2018: Insensitive Remarks Cause Congressman's Resignation


Congressman Glenn Grothman has resigned from Congress after tweeting, "Good riddance. Karma for being world's biggest rapist and world's worst President," upon the death of President Bill Clinton. Grothman met privately with Speaker Ryan and announced his resignation from Congress afterwards. Ryan said in a statement, "Rep. Grothman's comments are awful and these views are not the views of Republicans. President Clinton deserves our respect and we should mourn the death of a husband, father, President and patriot."

March 10th, 2018: Corker to Retire


Tennessee Republican Senator Bob Corker announced today that he will retire from the Senate come 2018. Corker has wrestled with the decision for months, seemingly going back and forth on whether or not to retire. The race to fill the seat starts late, with multiple people eyeing the race. Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn will likely run for the seat while Democrats already have a chosen their candidate, veteran and rising star James Mackler. Blackburn would most likely win, as Democrats lack a candidate with political experience and name recognition.

March 12th, 2018: Amash Jumps into Michigan Senate Race


Rising political star Congressman Justin Amash is running for Senate in Michigan, gunning for retiring Senator Debbie Stabenow's seat. Michigan jumped to the right in 2016, with GOP candidate Donald Trump narrowly losing the state. Amash said that he hopes to continue to move Michigan into the Republican column. Amash could do just that, but he will most likely face former Governor Gretchen Granholm, a strong candidate for Democrats. This race could be the closest in the 2018 cycle.

March 24th, 2018: Kander Filibusters for 20 Hours on Gerrymandering


Senator Jason Kander filibustered for 20 hours on the Senate floor against gerrymandered Congressional districts. A bill was introduced by Republicans that would give even less oversight over gerrymandering in states. Kander, who is a fierce fighter for voting rights and against gerrymandered Congressional districts, is raising his political star and is rumoured to run for President in the future. Kander narrowly won in 2016 in a red state and he has taken moderate views on some key issues but on the issue of gerrymandering, he isn't afraid to put up a fight.   

April 2nd, 2018: Biden will Retire at End of 2018


Secretary of State Joe Biden announced today that we will retire in 2018, opening up the job for President Clinton to fill. Biden has kept a low profile in his new role and has relatively been an uncontroversial figure in the administration. Clinton might nominate Attorney General Terry McAuliffe, who assumed office in January after his term as Governor of Virginia expired. Other possible nominees include former Secretary of Defense Bill Burns or Wendy Sherman, the former Under Secretary for Political Affairs at the State Department.

April 9th, 2018: Clinton Announces Upcoming Immigration Battle


President Clinton looks ready to get back into the full job the President, after a month of a light schedule after the death of her husband and former President Bill Clinton. Clinton plans to push immigration reform through Congress, hoping to pass a bill before a likely Republican takeover in November. Clinton would have to rally Democrats and multiple Republicans for the bill to pass. Vice President Kaine would most likely have to pass a tie-breaking vote if no Republicans vote for the bill. Democrats must work with a 50-50 "majority" while Republicans can't afford to lose one Senator.

Clinton Approval Rating:
Approve- 59%
Disapprove- 39%

[BigVic]

I don't think she will seek re-election and there will certainly be a GOP president-elect in 2020.


The death of FGOTUS and Clinton 42 would affect the rest of her Presidency.

[P. Clodius Pulcher did nothing wrong]

So awesome to see such a popular President Hillary Hopefully we keep our gains in the Senate

[MycroftCZ]

April 15th, 2018: Clinton will Stay Out of Midterms


President Clinton will not campaign with Democrats during the 2018 midterms, at least not extensively. Since the death of her husband, the Presidents' approval ratings have stayed high but aides inside the White House worry that their sympathy approval ratings will drop over the summer. Clinton is hoping not to hurt Democrats as they try to win tough races in Republican states.

April 21st, 2018: GOP Advantage Steadily Declines


The Republican advantage going into the 2018 elections is steadily declining, down from a 10 point advantage in January. Now, Republicans are only up by a slim 4 points, pointing to a Democratic revival in 2018. Mid-2017, Republicans were looking at sweeping gains but now, the race to control Congress will be tight and hard fought. Republicans are still likely to win the Senate, only having to pick up one state. But in the House, Republicans may actually lose seats due to the sight Congressional polls.

May 1st, 2018: Senate Races Tight with Top Tier Candidates


Arizona: Lean Republican
Flake- 59.9%
Sinema- 46.5%

May 8th, 2018:House Democrats Forced to Pull Immigration Bill


Merely 30 minutes until the scheduled vote on the Democrat's Immigration Bill, Minority Leader Ryan was forced to pull the bill because Democrats did not have enough votes. This is a major loss for Democrats and a big leadership failure on behalf of Ryan. Ryan had hoped to rally enough Republicans to pass the bill but he could only get 11 Republicans to switch sides. Republicans celebrated the failure of the bill and said that this will only help Republican candidates in November.  

[MycroftCZ]

May 17th, 2018: John McCain Dead at 81, Opens up 2nd Race in Arizona


Senator John McCain is dead at age 81, suffering from brain cancer for almost a year now. The Senator was a two-time Presidential candidate and a PoW in Vietnam. McCain's death incited grief from all sides of the aisle and McCain's presence will be missed on Capitol Hill. The senator's death has political ramifications too, opening up another Senate race in Arizona in 2018. McCain's wife, Cindy McCain, will serve until January 2019, when the person elected will fill the spot. Speculated candidates include State Senator Kelli Ward, who could drop her primary challenge to Senator Jeff Flake, for the Republicans and astronaut Mark Kelly for the Democrats.

June 2nd, 2018: Kaine Breaks 71st Tie in Senate


Vice President Kaine broke his 71st tie today on the Senate floor. The bill was to put stronger environmental regulations on oil and coal companies. Kaine is often considered the "101st Senator" due to the amount of time he spends on Capitol Hill whipping votes for Democrats and ultimately, voting on tied votes in the Senate. The 50-50 split has angered many Democrats, who had hoped to get more legislative accomplishments under their belt before midterms.

June 29th, 2018: Rubio, Cruz and Cotton Plot 2020 Runs


Three Senators are reportedly already planning 2020 Presidential runs. Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz ran in 2016 and hope to continue any momentum from that race. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is already reaching out to donors and party bigwigs about his chances in a primary. Two Governors are quietly planning runs, John Kasich from Ohio and Charlie Baker from Massachusetts. No obvious heir to the "Trump Throne" has emerged but chatter does surround former Alabama Cheif Justice Roy Moore, who has a history of controversial statements and has little name recognition.

July 10th, 2018: Clinton Signs 3 Immigration Executive Orders


President Clinton has signed three Executive Orders on Immigration. One opens up new paths to citizenship, one gives more protections to peaceful illegal immigrants and another, surprisingly, strengthens border security. President Clinton's approval ratings stay high, in the mid 50's but aides say they worry that the numbers could plummet before midterms. Clinton is not expected to campaign for Democrats in tight campaigns but the White House says that it may be reconsidering keeping the President completely off the campaign trail.

July 31st, 2018: McMullin announces Independent Campaign in Utah


Independent 2016 Presidential candidate and former CIA agent Evan McMullin announced another Independent write-in campaign in Utah. McMullin said that the two options for Senate are "disappointing" and didn't represent the "real Utah". McMullin attacked Rep. Mia Love for being a "Washington elite". McMullin's climb to a win in Utah is steep but he had been successful in the state before, racking in 25.5% on the vote and coming in 2nd over Hillary Clinton.

June 29th, 2018: Rubio, Cruz and Cotton Plot 2020 Runs


Three Senators are reportedly already planning 2020 Presidential runs. Senators Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz ran in 2016 and hope to continue any momentum from that race. Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton is already reaching out to donors and party bigwigs about his chances in a primary. Two Governors are quietly planning runs, John Kasich from Ohio and Charlie Baker from Massachusetts. No obvious heir to the "Trump Throne" has emerged but chatter does surround former Alabama Cheif Justice Roy Moore, who has a history of controversial statements and has little name recognition.

I can't think of any scenario where Clinton wins a second term.

Except this one.

I'd cross over and vote for Moore in the primaries just so he could lose spectacularly in the general

[MycroftCZ]

August 5th, 2018: Gindsburg, Breyer Announce Retirements


Supreme Court Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer announced they will retire in December, opening up two spots for President Clinton to fill. Ginsburg said that she hopes her seat will be filled by a woman and President Clinton has indicated that she will. Breyer is 79, about to turn 80 while Ginsburg is 85. Justice Anthony Kennedy, a crucial swing vote in the court, is 81 and may retire within the next year. Potential nominees for the post are Washington DC Circuit Judge Sri Srinivasan, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, Kentucky Attorney General Alison Lundergan Grimes and Judge Paul Watford. 

August 19th, 2018: Moore Announces 2020 Bid


Former Alabama Cheif Justice Roy Moore has announced he is running for President in 2020 as a Republican. Moore has lost his job twice in Alabama and has a history of controversial statements. Moore is currently polling low in the polls but he could fix that by raising his name recognition and gathering so-called "Trump Republicans" to support his campaign. Moore announced his campaign in Birmingham, Alabama in front of 500 supporters.

August 28th, 2018: Sinema, Kelly up in Arizona


Congressman Kyrsten Sinema and former Astronaut Mark Kelly are narrowly up in their Senate races in 2018. Kelly is facing State Senator Kelli Ward while Sinema is facing incumbent Jeff Flake. Arizona jumped to the left in 2016 and many think that if the state elects two Democrats in 2018, it could go blue in 2020. These races are still considered Tossups but the Democrats are leading narrowly. Sinema is running as a moderate and a problem solver while Kelly is running on Ward's past controversial statements and her "far-right views", as the Kelly campaign put it.

September 2nd, 2018: Clinton Nominates Lynch, Srinivasan for SCOTUS


President Clinton announced that she has nominated former Attorney General Loretta Lynch to fill Ruth Bader Ginsburg's seat while Judge Sri Srinivasan will fill Stephen Breyer's. Lynch is a controversial nominee because of Clinton past dealings with her and her Justice Department. Lynch will likely face challenges from Congressional Republicans while Srinivasan will likely be easily appointed to the Supreme Court. A liberal takeover of the Supreme Court is beginning to happen.

September 9th, 2018: Trump Steps Up Campaign Schedule for 2020


Independent candidate and businessman Donald Trump is stepping up his campaign schedule, hoping to get to the 15% threshold to qualify for the Presidential debate early before the nominees are decided upon for the 2020 General Elections. Trump is currently at 12% according to early polling and he is pouring another $5 million into his campaign throughout 2019 and late 2018. Trump is fully embracing the rhetoric her was famous for in his 2016 presidential campaign.

Didn't you say that Nelson retired in Florida. That Race would then be Scott vs Crist I presume.

There are just too many Democrats in Red States so Republicans will have a clear Majority come January 2019.

You did well tho in this TL to retire Pelosi for good.

September 23rd, 2018: Senate Confirms Srinivansan Easily, Lynch Narrowly


The Senate confirmed both Judge Sri Srinivasan and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch to the Supreme Court today. Srinivasan was confirmed 98-2, while Lynch was confirmed 52-48. Republicans Susan Collins and Cindy McCain voted for Lynch while many Republicans did not. Clinton celebrated the win and adding two young Democrats to the bench. Srinivasan is the first Indian American to serve on the Supreme Court while Loretta Lynch is the first African American woman to serve on the bench.  

October 8th, 2018: Clinton Visits Montana, North Dakota


President Clinton visited Montana and North Dakota today in the hopes of boosting struggling Democratic incumbents in those states. Clinton held a rally for Montana Senator Jon Tester while also meeting with Senator Heidi Heitkamp in North Dakota. These two Democrats are down in their races but they are close, with Tester and his challenger, Congressman Ryan Kinke, basically tied. Heitkamp is struggling against her challanger, Congressman Kevin Cramer.

October 15th, 2018: McMullin Takes Lead in Utah


Independent candidate Evan McMullin is leading in the Utah Senate race, overtaking Congresswoman Mia Love with 39% of the vote. Love, the Republican, has 35% while Democrat Jenny Wilson has 23%. McMullin would make history, creating a third Independent US Senator in office. The Love campaign says it "optimistic" but also says, "we have some work to do over the coming weeks."

November 1st, 2018: Polls Show GOP Senate Takeover


The final polls before the 2018 midterms point to a Republican takeover of the Senate, with Republican candidates leading many Democratic incumbents in red states. In Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Arizona, Missouri, North Dakota and Monatana, Republicans are up narrowly. These races hold the key to whether Democrats can hold their incredibly slim "majority" with the Vice President, or if Republicans can take over the Senate with big wins in a few red states.
