As the 2023 Mississippi Gubernatorial election begins, incumbent Republican Governor Robert C. Landun enjoys an approval rating of over 55%. Democratic challenger Cameron Murray, a journalist, attempts a herculean upward challenge against Governor Landun. Nasty tactics and grueling attacks aren't uncommon with Murray.

Bobby has overseen a period of economic stability; he's also passed significant education reforms and vetoed multiple bills that could have harmed certain minority groups like the LGBTQ+ community.
Bobby's tough-as-nails approach has kept the more conservative members of the legislature in line despite their grievances with him. He's a no-nonsense “strong man” who isn't afraid of twisting the arms of his own party if it's for the right thing. This persona he's built has dissuaded any serious primary challenges to him that could have sparked from his perceived “liberal agenda.” Many have already called this race; taking down Mississippi's strong man will take a lot.

On the political front, you can push for tax cuts to spur the economy and return the budget surplus to the American people. You might also pursue education and immigration reform, individual Social Security accounts, and new laws to defend the family and the sanctity of life.

Expect Al Gore to unleash a new round of government programs and environmental regulations. You are still youngish, however. If the election was close this time, perhaps you can run again in 2004, or work on behalf your brother Jeb.

Gore has a lot of options in his campaign. He can embrace the legacy of Clinton, for better or worse. Politically, he can run as a centrist, or move to the left and run as a more traditional liberal Democrat than Clinton did. The presence of the well-known Ralph Nader as a Green Party candidate complicates this decision. Gore is essentially campaigning on two fronts.
