Kevin McCarthy (Valve Dystopia)

Kevin Owen McCarthy (January 26, 1965- December 28, 2048) was an American politician who served as House Minority Leader in the United States House of Representative from 2019 to 2022, House Majority Leader under Speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan from 2014 to 2019 and as the 47th President Of The United States (2025-2029). A member of the Republican party, he followed the conservative views of Ronald Reagan during his presidency.



Early life and the beginning of his political life
McCarthy was born in Bakersfield, California, the son of Roberta Darlene (née Palladino; November 16, 1940–February 27, 2023), a homemaker, and Owen McCarthy (June 12, 1941 – January 28, 2000), an assistant city fire chief. McCarthy is a fourth-generation resident of Kern County. His maternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant. McCarthy is the first Republican in his immediate family, as his parents were members of the Democratic Party. He attended California State University, Bakersfield, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science in marketing in 1989 and a Master of Business Administration in 1994.

McCarthy served on the staff of Congressman Bill Thomas from 1987 to 2002. In 1995, he was chairman of the California Young Republicans. From 1999 to 2001, he was chairman of the Young Republican National Federation. From the late 1990s until 2000, he was Thomas's district director. McCarthy won his first election in 2000, as a Kern Community College District trustee.

McCarthy was elected to the California State Assembly in 2002. He became the Republican floor leader in 2003. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2006.

47th POTUS
McCarthy won the Republican primary against Tom Graves. His influence as an experienced Republican who has served as the House Minority Leader helped him secure the nomination. Choosing the 45th President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr, as his running mate, McCarthy held rallies in 48/50 states in the country (only excluding Hawaii and Rhode Island) and won the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. Throughout his presidency, he was criticized as "trying too hard to become the new Reagan when he has none of the qualifications". Going into the 2028 elections, he had an approval rating of 47% and had troubles making the Republican primary as the incumbent president. He ended up losing the election to highly popular Democratic candidate Gabe Newell. (see the details of the 2024 election's result here)

He died on December 28,2048 from a cardiac arrest.
