Bartlet's Victory — A Global Affirmation

The podium is the physical fulcrum of the scene: Bartlet mounts it to address the assembled crowd, lean on it for presence, and use it as the theatrical center that turns flashing numbers and applause into a formal victory moment.

Before: Set center-stage and occupied by the President; microphone and lighting arrayed for a speech.

After: Remains center-stage as Bartlet speaks and as the crowd applauds; continues to function as the focus of the celebration.
