Entourage

efficient detail-oriented coordinated politically attuned
The Entourage coordinates logistics for President Bartlet during key events. They manage motorcade departures after ropeline exchanges, with Toby processing inputs amid political challenges from figures like Senator Hoebuck. At the Capitol during inauguration preparations, Larry and Ed advise on inaugural ball order—Plain States first, then Rust Belt—to meet Political Affairs priorities. The group clusters around Bartlet, debating details and reacting to C.J.'s arrival in a bustling, anxious push to maintain procedural rhythm and political alignment.
