The Politician Season 2: What Was It About?
In case you forgot, season two followed Payton (Ben Platt) as he ran for Student President of his California high school and attempted to enroll at Harvard to eventually run for president of the United States. Payton admitted defeat after extensive plotting and failed efforts at assassination. The series finale followed Payton a few years later when he was a student at New York University, a pianist at a local pub, and an alcoholic.
McAfee (Laura Dreyfuss) realized there was room for Payton to challenge her and pick up his political goals when she began an internship in the office of long-serving New York State Senate Majority Leader Dede Standish (Judith Light) and her tough Chief of Staff (Bette Midler). Payton finally consented, and the series concluded with an impassioned speech by the young hopeful after intervention from his former classmates, notably Astrid (Lucy Boynton), who spilled a bombshell about Dede’s personal life.
