Morgan Mitchell

ambitious obstructionist media-savvy
Mitchell lunges into spotlight as senator-elect, brandishing Hardball megaphone to claim Foreign Relations perch and strangle Test Ban Treaty. C.J.'s scorn unmasks him: raw freshman, power mirage. Yet his gambit thrusts early blade at Bartlet agenda, priming Senate ratification wars with media-fueled bravado. Offstage thunder signals disruptive hunger, weaving into White House siege of lame ducks and treaty deadlines.
