Object
Mural‑Room Broadcast Monitor (Leo McGarry's Office)
A medium‑sized flat‑panel television with a thin dark bezel and cool, slightly flickering screen set against the mural room wall of Leo's office. Its glass throws a pale wash across faces; heavy coax or power cable trails down behind a credenza. Staff crowd the monitor, leaning forward until shoulders tense and breaths catch — the glow marks shifts from tentative worry to sharp relief when the roll call finishes.

Purpose
To receive and display live television broadcasts and network feeds for occupants of Leo's office/mural room, enabling staff to monitor political events in real time.
Significance
Functions as the scene's emotional fulcrum: the televised roll call converts private anxiety into a public outcome, precipitating both celebratory release (champagne, exhalations) and immediate ideological friction among staff. The screen times the moment of narrative payoff and undercuts it by exposing internal divisions.
