Character

Fox

Fox stands as a pivotal Republican aide in the White House's frantic lame duck offensive for Test Ban Treaty ratification. Toby Ziegler locks onto him—paired with Fowler—as a prime target for immediate outreach, calculating that Stensen's exit cracks open votes ripe for loosening. Amid Oval Office chaos where strategies collide and Leo enforces iron discipline, Fox materializes as the elusive congressional lever, his influence pulsing through Hill networks that could salvage Bartlet's nuclear legacy from Senate sabotage.
