Time treats everyone equally, and passes silently. When discovered, it usually leaves only a few words of regret and sighs.

"Ah! Another year has passed!"

This year's winter vacation was particularly long for Evan. He stayed in Sacramento for almost a month and did not return to Los Angeles until January 17.

This is Earl's request, and Evan can only cooperate. Who made January 17 his birthday?

According to the Warren family tradition, Earl held an extremely formal and grand birthday party for Evan.

On the day of the banquet, there were a lot of guests. Those who came to celebrate Evan's birthday not only had relatives and friends who had close contact with Earl Warren, but also had many friends.

For example, the person in charge of a company that has business dealings with Evan’s company in California;

For example, Evan's classmates and friends at university, idle people like Rick and Orville, also ignored the school's start time and arrived in Sacramento early.

As for Evan's own men, everyone who can come has come.

Evan didn't like this kind of birthday party that was held in great fun, but he knew that it had nothing to do with whether he liked it or not.

The so-called birthday party focuses not on birthdays, but on those attending the banquet.

At the dinner that day, Evan, one of the protagonists, smiled so hard that his face was almost froze because of receiving guests.

Another protagonist of the dinner, Earl Warren, took this opportunity to officially announce his decision to participate in the general election in front of many guests.

This year is the year of elections, and many political activities will be carried out around the theme of elections.

Earl Warren intends to win the presidency, which is not beyond the public's expectations. Almost the same day the news came into being, major officials of both Republican and Democratic parties in California expressed support for Earl Warren's decision.

Generally speaking, the US presidential election is divided into two stages. The first stage is the party primary election, which usually begins in February and ends in June. The purpose of the primary election is to select candidates who represent their party in the final election. At this stage, each state will first select candidates representing their state, and then vote for the only candidate at the party's national convention around June.

As for the second phase, it is the official election after the candidates are determined, and the election date is the day after the first Monday in November.

There are two ways for states to determine candidates, one is party and caucus meetings, and the other is direct pre-selecting. The former only requires party representatives to decide, while the latter requires voters from the entire state to participate.

At this time, the California Republican Party adopted a caucus, so it was no surprise that Earl, who had the support of the whole party, became a presidential candidate in California.

As time goes by March, the quadrennial election drama officially opens.

On the Republican side, as many as 15 people publicly announced that they would participate in the general election. In addition to Earl Warren, there were also Thomas Dewey, who represented New York, Robert Taft, Ohio, and General Douglas MacArthur, who represented Wisconsin. Since then, as the election progressed, Harold Starson, who had served as governor in Minnesota, emerged and won the primary elections in four states, becoming the leader of Republican candidates.

"Haha, it's really lively!"

One morning in May, Rick, who was watching the newspaper while eating breakfast in the BlackerHouse public restaurant, suddenly smiled and said, "I count, one, two... twelve, there are twelve people who still have candidate signs. I really don't know how many days it will take for the National Congress to determine the final candidate?"

"I guess five days are definitely not enough."

"Hey, Evan, what do you think?"

Evan, who was sitting opposite Rick, was biting the straw intently until the milk in the glass bottle bottomed out and said, "I said, Rick, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate to comment here? You should know that one of the candidates is your father."

"I know!" Rick put away the newspaper and said indifferently: "But what does it matter? Isn't your father in there too?"

"Besides, isn't what I said true?"

Compared to the Republican Party, which looks like a group of dogs scramble to eat, the Democratic Party is much calmer under the leadership of Truman. Although it really goes, the chaos in the Democratic Party is not better than that of the Republican Party, Rick just can't help but complain.

He always feels that such a Republican Party will have problems.

Evan has the same feeling about this, but Evan doesn't want to say it out loud.

Because of Truman's defeat in the midterm elections and his attitude towards civil rights, the Democratic Party was actually divided into two parts. Henry Wallace led some Democrats to form the New Progressive Party and participated in the general election.

However, it is precisely because of Wallace's departure and recent diplomatic achievements that Truman was able to integrate all the strength of the current Democratic Party. Coupled with the smooth implementation of the Marshall Plan, the domestic economy began to improve, and Truman's support rate began to recover.

According to Evan's observation, the Democratic Party has begun to emerge from the shadow of the failure of the last midterm election. However, the Republican Party is still in a state of peace and prosperity at this time, and there is no sign of alertness.

At this point, Evan was not surprised that Truman was re-elected.

"Since you can't see it, why not remind the Senator (referring to Rick's father)?"

Looking at Rick with a depressed look, Evan suggested.

Rick said: "Do you think I haven't tried it?"

Evan glanced at Rick in surprise.

Rick looked helpless: "But the old man doesn't think the Democratic Party has a chance to turn around... I just want to say that I'm just thinking about it."

Evan nodded and thought to himself, "So too..."

It would be much better to encounter the same mentality of Evan. Politics is too troublesome, with Earl on it, Evan felt that he could be more relaxed while he was young and tall.

"I won't talk about this..." After finishing the remaining bread, Evan wiped his mouth and said, "I'm going to the lab, see you back."

"Oh! See you back." Rick replied subconsciously: "By the way, I heard Orville say you want to participate in the graduation defense. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Evan packed up his dining plate and said, "This is the case."

Rick sighed, looked at Evan with admiration and said, "You really have, you can get enough credits in two years."

"In this way, we are also students from the same class."

"Yes, Rick." Evan picked up the dining plate, said goodbye again, and walked away.

After watching Evan leave, Rick picked up the fork and started to solve the breakfast that was about to fall out.

What job should I do after graduation?
