Soda (Roosevelt Room — Staff Gathering)

An unbranded, handheld soda referenced as a diegetic refreshment during a late‑night Roosevelt Room gathering. The source leaves vessel type (can or bottle) and temperature unspecified; the item sits among Chinese takeout and scattered folders and occasionally transfers into a character's hand. Staff treat it as a casual, portable soft drink—lightweight, nonfocal, and used to occupy hands during rapid conversation. Leo McGarry briefly takes the soda while continuing to brief the team and depart, leaving the drink incidental to the mounting crisis.
