Newberry

Senator Newberry anchors a volatile fulcrum in Senate committee realignments, his projected shift to Armed Services then Judiciary clearing obstacles for White House maneuvers against Mitchell while advancing Test Ban Treaty ratification in the lame duck frenzy. Josh and Sam orchestrate the repositioning as a razor-sharp tactical stroke; yet Marino counters with urgent peer diplomacy, imploring Newberry to dig in and halt the domino cascade unraveling fragile majorities. Newberry's steadfast perch exposes the razor-edge interdependence of senatorial loyalty and administrative pressure cooker.
