Character

Cliff

romantically intriguing politically partisan

Cliff enters the narrative through Josh Lyman's teasing list of Republicans Donna Moss supposedly dates. Josh names him alongside Commander Wonderful and Dr. Freeride during a tense exchange in his office, where Donna demands more responsibility. This casual reference casts Cliff as a GOP figure in Donna's rumored romantic history, underscoring the blend of personal lives and partisan tensions among White House staff. His mention punctuates Josh's deflection of Donna's ambition with humor drawn from her dating habits.
