Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) was elected in 2044, after Michelle Obama was impeached. He was a closeted socialist, eventually causing a major economic crash. The young politicians, especially the young Republicans (who worked to reunite the party and succeeded) were outraged and agreed that they needed a strong candidate to go against Booker's policies. Booker added fifty-trillion dollars to the national debt (equivalent to thirty-trillion in 2016). Also, he was the last male Democratic President, as he made a law that males can not run in Democratic Primaries. Women were on their way to becoming a protected class, as promised by many Democratic candidates.
