Bristol

Bristol stands as a pivotal legislator caught in the welfare reauthorization maelstrom, with Amy forecasting Josh's imminent loss of his crucial vote amid brutal breakfast-table clashes. Lumped with Burnet and Keith, he embodies swing-state defiance against Josh's pragmatic marriage incentives, channeling principled fury toward job training demands that threaten White House victories. His teetering allegiance amplifies ideological rifts, where women's group pressures and reformist zeal forge a no-man's-land between compromise and collapse.
