Kirkland

Kirkland haunts the charged threshold of Toby Ziegler's office, ears attuned to the Communications Director's booming summons for Ginger amid veto override desperation. Fresh off ejecting Democrat Kimball, Toby broadcasts the bipartisan Hail Mary to Republican Congressman Robert Royce of Pennsylvania loud enough for Kirkland to absorb every syllable—razor margins, depleted options, Sam's terse nod sealing the peril. This silent sentinel embodies junior staff proximity to power's fracturing edge, witnessing tactical pivots that bind White House resolve against congressional defiance.
