About the President-elect:

Leah is the current Senate Minority Leader. She has mounted a successful campaign for President after having previously held various positions including Secretary of Energy and Secretary of the Environment.  Leah is a Democrat from Massachusetts.

Congratulations on effectively winning the election! How are you feeling?

Leah: It’s an exhilarating feeling, knowing that I was able to build a tripartisan alliance for the election, knowing that I was able to get a whopping 60% of all voters to believe in me and what my campaign stood for. I now get the honour of being able to lead America and work towards improving the livelihoods of countless Americans. It’s truly something different 🙂

You are a long-standing member of the community and have received high approval ratings for various positions. How much of your success in this campaign is due to your personal popularity?

Leah: I don’t think my personal popularity meant much in this race — I believe my success could be narrowed down solely to my extensive vision and plan for America, along with my commitment to numerous positions I’ve served in before.

How would you characterize this election and how did it compare to previous cycles?

Leah: Mmm well as everyone probably knows — this election was one of the first times when the Socialists and Democrats unified behind a single cause. This election was a battle between ideologies and beliefs, not parties. We didn’t see much of the hyper-partisanship that was observed last election — with parties bickering among each other, splitting the vote, etc.

Do you see this election as a testament that the four party system has settled?

Leah: Not really, I already have concerns with regard to party bickering start up once again — in fact, as we speak, an argument between the Socialist National Committee’s Chairman and former President Hull rages on.

As President, what steps do you plan to take to prevent partisan opportunistic opposition?

Leah: Well, for starters, I plan to (as superficial as it may seem) hopefully give each party an equal say in my upcoming Administration. Secondly, I hope to do whatever in my power to make it clear that petty partisan politics are not going to be tolerated. Other than that, there’s regrettably not much more I can do~

During your time on Virtual Congress, you have been a member of multiple parties. Do you see that as a potential advantage or disadvantage for your Presidency?

Leah: Well I guess that just makes it clear that I’m not one that really sticks to party loyalty. I serve the American people, and my political party doesn’t change that — which I believe is very advantageous.

You will be the first female President, not only that, but your Vice President is also a woman. How does it feel to break the glass ceiling?

Leah: Really feels great knowing and proving that us women are just as capable as men (maybe even better 😉 ). I’ve personally always been annoyed at the lack of female representation is politics, and it’s just terrific knowing a female was just elected President 🙂

What are your plans for your first few days in office?

Leah: First and foremost, I plan to use to the fullest the authority of the executive branch to immediately reinstate the ~100 environment rules weakened—if not repealed—by the Trump Administration. I also plan to assemble a competent cabinet at the soonest, and issuing a slew of different memorandums.

Previous administrations have had issues with inactivity, filling the cabinet and passing a budget. How will you prevent these issues from arising during your Presidency?

Leah: Well, I’m looking to offer utmost accountability and transparency into my Cabinet and Administration, that means weekly cabinet updates, press briefings every two days and two State of the Union addresses. I also plan to nominate only the best, and I’m not going to hesitate to relieve any cabinet secretary of their duties if they fail to meet their goals.

Closing out this interview, do you have any advice for new members just starting their political career?

Leah: Honestly, I’d advise them to stay committed to their beliefs, don’t pander to the high and mighty just for cheap political points. Be who you are — and trust me, the American people appreciate those that stay true to themselves.
