Auditorium Audience

The Auditorium Audience assembles in the darkened hall for President Bartlet's live debate. They settle into seats under the PA's directive, which counts down two and a half minutes to broadcast and urges silence during any technical glitches. This collective holds its breath, shifting from casual entry to rapt attention, their stillness amplifying the stakes of the televised showdown. No individuals emerge; the group embodies public scrutiny on the administration's performance.
