Brooklyn Heights, New York City. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

It's just a bridge away from bustling Manhattan Island, and across the river, you can see the World Trade Center and Wall Street.

To the west along Pierpon Street, you'll find a row of 100-year-old European-style red-brick buildings, neat and clean, with Riverside Park overlooking the Manhattan skyline at the end of the road.

Moving on, the sign that crosses this street reads:

"Clint Street".

That's right, it's that Clint.

Exactly at the intersection of "Rue de Clint" and "Rue Pilpang" is the "Place Pilpang" building. The 19-storey building, with its brown façade, looks unremarkable. But the ground floor is bustling with slogans, as well as media, journalists and satellite broadcast vans. They certainly didn't come for Morgan Stanley, the major law firms, or the attorney general's office for the Eastern District of New York.

On a day like this, the only thing that can attract so much attention is the 17th and 18th floors - that's Sheila? Clint's campaign headquarters.

Even though it was evening, everyone at the campaign headquarters was still busy, with excitement, anticipation, and nervousness on their faces.

Sheila? Clint sat alone in her office, looking a little tired, and it was a rare break for her. After all, she is nearly 70 years old, and since October, she can only rest for an average of five or six hours a day, running around giving speeches and canvassing for votes. She fought until the day of the general election, when everyone was busy and nervous, but she had a free time to take a break, and she did everything she could, and now all that was left was to wait.

Through the glass curtain wall, she can clearly see the busy campaign team outside, and the phone that keeps being lifted and put down. In addition to the volunteers who insist on calling the people to vote, more people are busy collecting real-time votes in each state and then summarizing and publishing the votes.

On the wall in the middle of the large office, a huge electronic screen hangs. In the middle is a map of the United States, which occupies most of the wall, divided by region, and already shows three colors: blue, red, and gray, which represent the approval rating.

Blue represents the victory of Democratic Sheila. Win all the electoral votes in your area, red means Republican Jeff won the election, and gray means that the results have not been counted.

On the left side of the map, there are two tall blue-red prisms. Represents the number of electoral votes received by both sides. At this time, there is still some distance from the winning line of 270 votes, and the two sides alternately rise. The large expanse of red and blue is shining, stinging people's eyeballs, just like the anxious voting and unification process, and people with a slightly worse heart are probably unable to look directly.

Sheila? Clint deliberately asked the chairman of the campaign team, Podesta, to inform the others not to bother her without special circumstances, she should take a good rest, whether she is elected or not, she will rush to Times Square to give a thank you speech to her supporters as soon as the dust settles, but she doesn't know whether she will be elected or defeated.

Let the teams do the talistics. With more than 5,000 paid staff and 35,000 volunteers, it's enough to have them busy.

But after all, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and after just closing her eyes and taking a short rest, she couldn't help but look outside.

It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, almost close to the last moment. Seeing the map representing New York State turn blue, Sheila smiled slightly, satisfied but not surprised.

New York State, with its large immigrant population, is home to a number of prestigious institutions of higher learning, open-mindedness, and a liberal ethos. It has always been a staunch follower of the Democratic Party and a large vote base, and it was here that Hilla was elected to the Senate in 2006 with 67 percent of the vote, and chose the highlight of her political career as a base for her march to the White House, apparently to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Over here. She is sure to win more than 5 million votes, which would be about half of the votes in New York State.

At the same time, it also means that as many as 29 electoral votes are available, but when she sees the red prism that is still a little higher, Sheila's face is gloomy again, and there are not many areas that have not yet counted the final results, and she is still behind Jeff? Booth. The situation is not so rosy.

But she didn't have time to think, because through the wall, she could vaguely see Podesta, the chairman of the campaign, walking briskly towards her. The 67-year-old seasoned politician with short head-length silver hair is the oldest on the campaign and once served as her husband, Bill? Clint's White House chief of staff, Obama's political adviser, was deeply rooted in politics and even helped her send the first letter announcing her candidacy, which can be described as the mainstay of the team. He doesn't come to himself before the results are out if there's nothing particularly noteworthy about.

There was a knock on the ajar office door, and Podesta walked in, a smile of surprise on his face, and Sheila's heart immediately relaxed, and it seemed to be good news.

"Unbelievable! Just received the results, and you beat the Republicans in Virginia by 1857139 votes over Jeff Booth's 1796277 vote! "Podesta took off the eyes that rested on the bridge of his nose, waved his arms excitedly, and made exaggerated movements, not at all like an old man over 70 years old." How did you do that!? We haven't gotten a ticket in Virginia in over 20 years! ”

Sheila? Clint stood up with the same excitement, her eyes falling on the big screen behind Podesta, the map representing Virginia flashed a few times, and then lit up with a dazzling blue!

"Go to these states and get a little more of it, and maybe there will be an unexpected surprise, ma'am."

Li Jie's special phone call flashed in her mind, and after the other party didn't know how to persuade the Citi consortium to increase her funding for herself, she had slowly raised greater expectations for this young man. So, despite the already tight staff, she got Huma, the chief of staff, to increase his commitment to those states. But previous defeats in West Virginia and Kentucky have made Sheila forget about it a bit.

However, Podesta's voice finally made her react, Bruce? The unexpected surprise that Li said is here!

"I'll explain to you later, I'll make a phone call and keep an eye on it."

Glancing at the number of votes that happened to overshadow the red prism, Sheila picked up the phone and dialed, she knew that she had to thank someone, and the 13 electoral votes that had been hopeless were doubling the effect of putting Jeff? What was in Booth's pocket was fished out to his side. Maybe it's the decisive votes!

"To be able to call me at such a stressful time, I guess you have good news, right? Ms. Sheila. ”

Li Jie sat in the office of the Enlightenment sect, also following the progress of the general election, and the final results of the vote have not yet come out.

"Virginia. Thank you, Bruce, I owe you a favor. ”

Although it is not clear how the other party did it, Sheila knows that it is definitely not a simple matter, at least not a verbal thank you can solve it.

"Why thank you? We are allies. Isn't it? ”

Li Jie wasn't sure about Jocelyn? Will McCaskey's female whip be able to do what she wants, but when she hears Sheila? Clint replied like this, he knew that the other party was doing a good job, and it seemed that the affairs of the pharmaceutical company could be grasped.

"Of course, Bruce."

Sheila clearly knew that the other party was not polite when she said this, but to remind herself not to forget to reciprocate. She was about to say something more when a sudden surge of sound came from outside, and countless arms were raised high, dancing like flags. Volunteers jumped and hugged each other, all eyes on her office.

"Boom!"

Sheila opened her mouth into the microphone but didn't say anything, while Li Jie, who was on the other side, clearly heard the boiling noise in the campaign headquarters and the clear shouts of "success", and he smiled: "It's time to meet your victory, Your Excellency." ”

"Thanks, Bruce, sorry, keep in touch."

After a hurried end of the call. Sheila? Clint had apparently begun to prepare for a later speech. Li Jie, on the other hand, walked to the window, and from the top floor of the Enlightenment building, it was clear that more than 150,000 Sheila supporters had gathered in Times Square, squeezing this "crossroads of the world" to the brim.

Countless human heads are illuminated by the lights as if they were flowing like the Milky Way. Behind them, Manhattan skyscrapers flashed with the word "USA", and huge podiums had already been set up, waiting for Hiraclint to arrive.

Several large screens were set up in the plaza in advance, on which a promo video of Sheila and Jeff was played, as well as the results of the end of the vote count. As soon as the state where Sheila won was played, the crowd erupted in cheers. And when Jeff Booth won the state, the crowd fell silent.

The latest election results have not yet been released in the news reports, and they are not as efficient as Sheila's team, but they are not much worse. Sure enough, ten minutes later, the turning point appeared, more than 150,000 supporters all looked up with bated breath at the same time, and a streamer with an excited face suddenly appeared on the big screen, almost reporting the number with shouting passion:

Breaking news! Sheila? Clint won 281 votes!

The crowd boiled over, reporters began to run all over the stadium, supporters hugged each other, cried tears of joy, and people shouted "Sheila, Sheila" and danced to the celebratory music playing......

Democratic presidential candidate Sheila? Clint won the election with 281 electoral votes over 257 votes from Republican candidate Jeff Booth!

Although there is still a final process to go through - the electoral vote to be held on the third Monday of December, this is almost a certainty. For all the electors to whom they are to vote have already been announced,

Even in the history of the United States, few electors have defected, and although there are still some state laws that do not explicitly prohibit electors from changing who votes, individual "disfaithful" ballots can no longer change the outcome of an election.

That is, Sheila? Clint is already confirmed to be elected as the 45th president of the United States, sworn in on January 20 next year.

The supporters cheered excitedly and waited for nearly an hour to see Sheila at 12 a.m. Clint appears on the podium.

Her opening line was a barrage of "thank you."

And then in the midst of all the limelight, Sheila? Clint opened his mouth and said:

"Thank you! Friends! This is our moment, this is our time - yes, we can! (yes, we_can!)" )
