The Politician Season 2: Plot Details
The first season of The Politician ended with Payton becoming class president. That is because, his competition, Astrid gets dropped out of school. Meanwhile, Payton does not get admission to Harvard. Therefore, he decides to compete for the New York State Senate. However, for that, he needs to stand against Dede Standish and her chief-of-staff, Hadassah Gold.
Lately, Platt also discussed the plot with The Hollywood Reporter. As he stated, Every time we think we know, creators shock us. All I know is that it will be very much focused on mine and Judith’s race and that we’ll be in New York now. And we’re theoretically a little bit older and coming into our own as adults.”
