One of the consequences of the United States' system of government stressing the separation of powers in order to curb the dominance of one party is that the two parties are fiercely competing all the time.

The most important thing in the struggle is the election of members of the National Assembly, once the members of their own party can reach a majority in the upper and lower houses, they can control the legislative direction of the policy, and according to the law, the cabinet members nominated by the president and the ambassadors abroad must also be approved by the National Assembly before they can formally perform their duties.

The legislative power is the most effective check and balance on the executive power, and Congress can even limit the power of the president by enacting a series of laws, provided that the president is not his own party.

Conversely, lawmakers can help their own presidents pass various laws and send divine assistance.

As for institutions such as the budget committees in the two houses, they can control the power of the state budget and finance and direct the direction of government policies, and at the bottom, they can use the fake public and private affairs to let more of the budget flow to the departments controlled by their own parties, and by the way, they can jam the source of funds for the rival party's projects.

In short, the popularity of the House of Representatives election for the president and senator is also a bipartisan contest.

The process is similar, with a party primary – a party nomination – an open debate with the opposing party's nominee – and a final vote.

At present, Edward changed his election registration to New Haven because of his schooling, and he is not registered as a member of either party.

But that didn't stop him from applying for the post of assistant to the House of Representatives committee, who is the Democratic attorney general George Duffy.

In turn, the other side also likes to find assistants from Yale, after all, they are elite students, flexible and thoughtful, and this is not the time of the wild West or the gang-ridden 20s or even more distant founding periods, when it is convenient to run for election - mainly by fist bullets and checks, and of course, on the surface, they have to go around giving speeches to canvass for votes.

Now that society has progressed, Millican has also become a "lighthouse", and naturally it is necessary to be more civilized, and the fist bullet has changed from the first choice to the final solution plan, but the role of the check has been greatly improved - buying various media services to package themselves to promote the campaign or buying data consulting companies to quantify the election data and provide corresponding analysis reports, naturally the bosses behind these companies are their own people, and it is only right that everyone earns money.

The only constant is that the candidates are still running around giving speeches and holding campaign rallies, which is somewhat like a circus tour in that sense.

In this mode, the mental requirements for campaign assistants are much higher than the physical requirements.

Since the last time he chatted with Dami, Edward has been thinking about how to blossom law and politics at the same time, and after thinking about it, he feels that it is most realistic to follow the traditional path of the United States.

On the one hand, the election campaign is like a battlefield, with strict requirements for all aspects of the participants, which is very suitable for testing people's abilities, and secondly, there will be various bigwigs and real power figures in the party to help the election.

Combined, as long as they are outstanding, it is easy to stand out from a large number of campaign assistants, be favored by various giants, and be pulled under their command to spend resources to cultivate, become a reserve army of politicians, and officially begin to intervene in politics

Even if you don't plan to enter politics in the future, it is much more convenient to become a lawyer after having this level of connections, instead of arguing with your opponent in court, take a government project to become a judicial partner of the government, and use taxpayers' money to support yourself.

There was another reason he didn't dare to mention to anyone: there was a text in his previous life called "Running for Governor", which opened his eyes.

That Edward had done a similar job when he was a student at New York City University.

It's just that he was a gangster student at that time, and the other party naturally wouldn't let him be in charge of big projects, just be a minion to run errands, and capitalist society pays more attention to the application of materials.

Anyway, it's a brick for the party, where it needs to be moved.

Typical things were, for example, nailing "Mike Wallace is the mayor" sign to a street tree during the day, or convincing car owners to put up a sticker that said "Mike Wallace is the best choice", helping to keep order in the venue while Wallace was speaking, practicing the combat requirement of "no one is seen when you start, no one is injured after you start" to put the troublemaker out and throw it down the street, or riding a bicycle to send delivery documents back and forth between the two offices at a playful speed.

In the evening, it was another activity, tearing down the sign with "Meghan is the mayor" and setting it on fire, or calling conservative people "Hey, Meghan is a blue pool, elect her up, New York will become a den" and so on.

But now, as a Yale law student, a future member of the elite, naturally there is a more important task for him to accomplish - to be in charge of the election canvassing in both regions. But Edward felt that the reason why the other party let him take on such a heavy responsibility was that he knew that he had "rich experience" in New York back then, although he was a gangster student, he was very talented in this area, especially good at fighting all kinds of battles, and he won quite beautifully, and he was not seriously injured because of this.

For a college student, that's already a good grade.

His employer, George Duffy, has been the Attorney General of New Haven for many years, which is why Edward chose to join him, regardless of whether he is officially elected to the House of Representatives in the future, at least his deep influence in the legal profession is definitely in his favor.

Senators are rationed, 2 places per state, a total of 100 people in the whole meter, so it is particularly expensive.

The number of members of the House of Representatives is different, the number of seats is arranged according to the population of each state, and at least one person must be guaranteed, and the populous states such as California and New York can get 40 seats in the House of Representatives, while small states such as Delaware and Alaska can have a seat to make their voices heard.

Connecticut has six seats in the House of Representatives, and the state has six congressional districts, one for each district.

The 88-year-old veteran of Connecticut's third congressional district, centered in New Haven, announced last year that he would not run. The vacant position attracted a group of pretenders to fight with all their might.

It's not as valuable as a senator, but it's also a member of Congress! Of course, the Democrats and Republicans are going to fight.

Before George Duffy can fight with Republican candidates, he must first pass the party primary, and after getting rid of his party comrades, he can get the official nomination at the Democratic National Convention in July, and then he can justifiably fight to the death with the Republican Party.

George Duffy's main rival is the current mayor of New Haven, Burke Kongsberg.

Connecticut is one of the so-called six states in New England, the first area where Mayflower passengers landed and colonized, and has a stronger WASP component than other regions, and has been the Democratic Party since ancient times.

In other words, as long as you win the party election, then becoming a member of the US House of Representatives is a sure thing.

No matter how much the Republican Party jumps, it is impossible to make much waves in the old and heavy-handed Connecticut, and in turn, the Democratic Party is just showing its presence in an area like Texas, which is rich in martial arts, and will not throw real money into it.

This election is a Democratic civil war for New Haven.

In addition, from the perspective of the overall environment, since the Democratic Party came to power in Franklin D. Roosevelt, it began to dominate the House of Representatives in 1933, and usually won more than two-thirds of the seats from 1933 to 1943, and the Republican Party and the Democratic Party each won a majority many times in the next 10 years, during which the Republican Party only briefly controlled Congress in 1946 and 1952.

In Edward's life, after winning the 1954 midterm elections, the Democrats took control of the House of Representatives for the next 40 years.

Therefore, for the new political newcomers of the Democratic Party, starting from the House of Representatives is really the best choice - they are all their own people, and they will be extremely tolerant and caring, even if there is a conflict, there are party bigwigs who come out to mediate, which is much safer and more appropriate than playing with the Republican Party.

Overall, the two seem to have their own strengths, George Duffy has an advantage in the legal system, and the lawyers' union and the police union have publicly stood up to endorse him.

Burke Kongsberg has been deeply involved in the administrative field for many years, has a large number of contacts in New Haven and even Teford (the state capital), and as a descendant of "Mayflower", he has an overt or implicit relationship with the entire ancient family in Connecticut.

It is precisely because the backgrounds of both parties are extremely strong that the other candidates have the feeling of accompanying the prince to study.

It's April now, judging from the poll data, these two are twisted, they have won and lost each other, and they can't open the gap, and there are several other candidates who are just showing their sense of existence, and they are familiar, and when the pair of CPs love and kill each other, they will announce their withdrawal.

As for why didn't you opt out sooner? After all, if George Duffy has been fighting with Burke Kongsberg, then they may be able to take advantage of the chaos to pick up a wallet, such as announcing the election themselves when George needs support the most, calling on voters to fully support Mr. George, which will naturally bring back a lot of benefits.

In the old Chinese saying, it is to wait for the price and sell.

Putting aside the careful thinking of these people, this is a bit of a headache for CP at the moment, and the rice-style election, while messy, is result-oriented – polling data dominates everything.

If the gap is large, the lagging side simply withdraws from the election, after all, it will cost a lot of money, and since there is no chance of winning, it is better to save the budget in order to make a comeback.

Now the two sides are caught in a hand-to-hand battle of data, and the data of various media show that the two sides have won and lost each other, but the gap is only 0.0 percentage points, and there is no so-called advantage.

The fight is about who can hold on better, and it's a torment for both men and their campaigns, especially George Duffy.

The son of a worker, he completed all his law courses on scholarships and student loans, and then entered the government justice system, where he worked for more than a decade, becoming the city's attorney general three years ago, and now thinking about "making progress."

The resume and background are very beautiful.

But there is also a significant weakness - no money!

His family conditions are average, and he has been engaged in judicial work in the government for a long time, so his income is average, and he does not have much money to spare.

The opponent Burke Constance Burke is different, the family has produced several successful businessmen, the business is not too big, but the victory is stable, "old money" does not believe in radicalization, and always only thinks that compound interest and time are his best friends, and this is indeed the case.
