Jay Laylin Elected As The 3rd President Of The United States Of Jesstopia

NEWS 28 - Jay Laylin and Cole Bindle will be the next President and Vice President of the United States Of Jesstopia come November 16, 2024, blowing Thomas Cooke and John Thurman a crushing defeat after a long and hard fought Presidential campaign.

"Jay Laylin just made history being the first Republican head of state of the United States Of Jesstopia," said Nancy Yates. "That is huge. No other Republican has ever been able to defeat a Nationalist for the nation's highest office and today shows a drastic shift in political ideology. We know that his policy will be the polar opposite of John McCallum and the Nationalist policy. He is setting an example for future Republicans who run for and win the Presidency."

"I am beyond proud of our party for what we have accomplished," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Rodham. "The election of Jay Laylin, a Republican to the Nationalist House is unbelievable and yet amazing. I can't wait to see what comes from his presidency over the next four years and I know he will do amazing things. Let's do this. Let's get our country back. Let's all work to bring back traditional family values, get help for the mentally ill and ensure our borders remain secure."

House Speaker Gretchen LeWolf issued a congratulations via a House Speaker Website post to President-Elect Jay Laylin and Vice President-Elect Cole Bindle. Both men are set to speak later this morning to address their supporters and voters who helped win them the Nationalist House.

"There is not much I can say but that I am ecstatic to work as your president," said President-Elect Jay Laylin. "The work we will be able to accomplish now that I will be President is something that I look forward to being able to accomplish for the great people of this country. Our veterans should come before immigrants. Israel shouldn't be punished for defending itself. Inflation shouldn't be so high and gas and grocery prices need to come down. I will work to do that starting Day one on November 16. Thank you all, I love you, god bless you and God bless the United States Of Jesstopia."

Vice President-Elect Cole Bindle also issued a statement about Laylin and his victory.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That is all I can say. You are all amazing, allowing Jay Laylin to make history being the very first head of state of this great country since the founding of our country," said Vice President-Elect Cole Bindle. "There is so much work to be done to get our country back on track. We have so much to do to lower your grocery, gas and housing costs. We have so much work to do to ensure our veterans are getting the care and medical equipment, medications they need at prices they can afford. Let's send illegal immigrants back across the border and out of our country. Let's get our country back to being one of the greatest countries in the world."

Both President-Elect Jay Laylin and Vice President-Elect Cole Bindle will be flying to Rufus County, to meet with President John McCallum as well as meet with other Nationalist House officials. The transition team is now underway planning the Laylin's and Bindle's move into the Nationalist House and Freedom House respectively.
