VOTE HERE!

The Progressive Republicans are at a standstill, between a road, a path, patches of grass, and a forest.

On March 8th, 1987, the Progressive Republicans & Republican-Democrats decided to both install a plan which would "let there be more freedom", and allowed candidates to run in "Caucuses" before in the general primary (Inspired by u/TWAAsucks**)***.*

Important Things Under The Administration:

McGovern had got the I.N.F. Treaty signed with the Soviets, however.... Black Monday had come, and it made the economy go down, but McGovern raised taxes on markets to improve the economy.

Also, the New York Giants had very surprisingly won the Super Bowl XXII.

Giants After Winning The Super Bowl!

With a more helpful Congress & Senate, and McGovern got more passed (Agricultural Protection Act of 1987, 1987 Act Against Discrimination Against Crippled People, a 10% cut to Military Spending, the 1987 National Railway-Transportation Act, 1988 Aid To People In Need Act, and also lowered housing prices by 0.8%). His approval rating went up to 57%.

CONGRESS:

No major party (Republican-Democrats or Progressive Republicans) have a majority, with the Progressive Republicans & Republican-Democrats (under Mo Udall) having the same amount of representatives in their parties. Also, the People's Coalition (under Dennis Kucinich) with about 7-8 seats, the Libertarians (under Ron Paul) with 3-4 seats, and the Conservatives with 1-2 seats, with Jack Kemp staying as Speaker.

Jack Kemp surprised after being re-elected as Speaker, 1987.

SENATE:

The Progressive Republicans barely lost the Senate, while winning the overall popular vote. They got a few new senators, with Kit Bond, Jim Santini, Jim Broyhill, and Jeremiah Denton. The Republican-Democrats gained with Bob Graham, (Former Senate Majority Leader Herman Talmadge decided to not run, so Wyche Fowler won in Georgia), Brock Adams, Kent Conrad, Michael Barnes. In South Dakota, McGovern was replaced by George V. Cunningham, but was primaried by Tom Daschle, and Daschle won the primary, but also won the general senate election, with Claiborne Pell becoming the new Republican-Democratic Senate Leader.

Claiborne Pell announcing he is the newest Republican-Dem. Senate Leader, 1987.

GUBERNATORIAL:

(Notable Races Only!) In Texas, Former Governor Bill Clements beat Governor Mark White, In Pennsylvania, Bob Casey beat Governor Bill Scranton III, In Florida, Bob Graham was replaced by Bob Martinez, Charles Graddick won against H. Guy Hunt in Alabama, and Mario Cuomo obviously won re-election in New York. (Some other races include Al Gore winning in Tennessee, Carroll Campbell winning in South Carolina, and Evan Mecham winning in Arizona.)

Newsweek Article in 1986 About Some of Mario Cuomo's Policies.

Also, there are 2 new Supreme Court Justices, being Abner Mikva & Guido Calabresi, since the referendum was above 60% in favor.
