Chapter 807: Another Party
The party hosted by the President was more like a small ceremony meant to reassure people—both others and himself.
Every presidential election is an uncertain affair. Until the final result is announced, no one dares to say they’re guaranteed to win.
There have been presidents in history with 70–80% public approval who still inexplicably lost elections. So unless the fruits of victory are firmly in hand, it’s best not to relax.
The President hoped to use this party to send a message:
I haven’t forgotten our agreement. I hope you’ll continue to support me.
Look how many people already do. Supporting me is your best choice.
That was the attitude he wanted to project.
Lynch spent the whole afternoon and post-dinner hours making casual small talk, though mostly listening to what the President had to share—internal and external updates from the government.
People often ask: why do the rich keep getting richer?
