California Delegation

The California Delegation erupts as a monolithic voting bloc amid the estate tax veto override inferno, every member slamming down ultimatums: deliver compromise on estate tax provisions or they defect en masse to repeal votes. Their iron resolve catapults Republican counts to 290, compounding Black Caucus betrayals and igniting White House panic—Josh and Toby race to staunch the bleed under Leo's command, their defiance fracturing Democratic lines in a high-stakes legislative bloodbath.
