Christian Ludacris Bo is an American politician who currently serves as Vice President of the United States. He previously served as a U.S. Senator from the State of Dixie, as well as Senate Majority Leader, Minority Leader, and President pro tempore.

Early Life, Education, Career

Bo was born in Orlando, Florida to unmarried parents, Linda Wilton and Gary Bo. He also has one brother, Dominic Bo, and has said that he was close with his family throughout his childhood despite his parent’s lack of marriage. They went on to move to Winter Garden, Florida, where Bo went on to graduate from West Orange High School.

He went on to attend the University of Tampa in which he earned a B.S. in political science. Following that, he went on to work for various political campaigns throughout the State of Florida, where he gained deep knowledge and skill about politics and managing campaigns for office, which he has said has aided him in his various political campaigns.

Following the 2018 governmental restructuring within the United States, Bo took a small leave of absence from his work within politics and opted to spend a majority of the time up until 2020 with his family, enjoying a private life and career. However, in July of 2020, Dixie Governor Sandoval appointed Bo to serve as the Secretary of Internal Affairs for the State of Dixie in which he oversaw a multitude of things within that Department.

Dixie General Assembly

Bo was initially elected to the Dixie General Assembly in the August 2020 state elections to represent Dixie’s First district, which at the time consisted of the regions of Texas and Oklahoma. In this election, Bo faced Senator Trash, Representative John Smith, and the incumbent Assemblyman Andrew Blaze. Many originally expected the race to go for Sen. Trash due to his experience and magnitude within the state. However, Bo outspent Trash by $30,000 and went on to win the election with 52% of the vote, with Trash getting just 30% and Smith and Blaze taking the rest, and the election results were a shock to many.

Within the first half of the term in the Assembly, Bo was extremely productive and passed multiple pieces of legislation, including establishing LGBTQ+ curriculum in schools, legalizing prostitution, expanding access to contraceptives, criminal justice reform, and voting rights. In the second half of the term, the Assembly vacated the incumbent Speaker, Phoenix, due to him refusing to put the ratification of the Choice Amendment up for debate and, subsequently a vote, within the Assembly. Following this event, Bo was elected Speaker of the Assembly without opposition.

In the October state elections, Bo ran for re-election and faced political newcomer The Owl. However, The Owl did not show up to campaign or debate and Bo won re-election in a landslide, taking nearly 86% of the vote. Bo went on to be re-elected as Speaker of the Assembly for the 15th session. Bo, once again, provided another productive session in the Assembly, passing the Fair Vote Amendment, which instituted Ranked Choice Voting within Dixie, LGBTQ+ rights legislation, a resolution as to investigate the Dixie Secession Plot, and the budget for that session, which implemented a land value tax within the state. In the December state elections, Bo ran for a third term, and his opponent was former Assemblyman Ethan Matthias. While the race was more contentious than some expected, Bo prevailed taking 57% of the vote over Matthias’ 43%.

U.S. Senate

In the weeks preceding the September 2020 federal elections, Bo was initially considering a run for the House of Representatives. However, Bo received encouragement from the Libertarian Party to run for Senate to unseat the incumbent, Trash, the same person who he beat in the Assembly race just a month prior. Following this, Bo accepted and decided to run.

The race was contentious and, similar to the Assembly race, before the election began most predicted that Trash would end up victorious and with another six month term in the Senate. The debate between the two was one of the longest in that cycle, and the campaign was tied for the second most expensive race within that election cycle, with the two spending a combined $190,000. Trash ended up outspending Bo by $10,000, yet Bo emerged victorious on election day, taking 50.2% of the vote to Trash’s 49.8%. The margin of victory was well within the recount threshold, and Trash went on to file a recount. However, following it, Bo’s lead expanded and the final election results ended up being 50.71% for Bo and 49.29% for Trash. Bo was one of just three Libertarian wins within that election, and, afterwards, Bo was selected as Senate Minority Leader for the caucus of just him and Senator Valerie.

Following then-President pro tempore James Order’s resignation from the Senate and, thus, President pro tempore, Bo was briefly elected President pro tempore because he was the only nominated candidate to meet the requirements, despite the left’s supermajority within the chamber. However, his tenure did not last long, due to a motion to appeal the decision of the chair and revert the Senate back to the procedure from before in which nominations were open until all Senators had made a nomination. Following this, Senators Valerie and Bo did not make nominations on the Senate floor and, due to the previous motion which reinstated old rules, an election for President pro tempore could not go forward. Though, before then-Vice President Cabin Fever’s ascension to the Vice President, he handed the gavel to Senator Valerie, the Deputy President pro tempore. Later on, however, the left majority held an illegal election for President pro tempore in which a staffer from the same stole the gavel from Senator Valerie, in an act described as assault on the only female Senator at the time. This event became known as Gavelgate. The Senate was, for most of this period, unable to proceed with business and items of legislation, until a point of order from Bo which allowed the Senate to do as such. To get the gridlock over, and go back to normal within the Senate, the Social Democratic members of the left majority caucus led by Senator Epsilon Leclair broke off and, together, the Social Democrats formed a Cooperative Caucus in which Bo was Majority Leader and Drunk was elected President pro tempore closely afterwards.

Bo resigned from the Senate on November 10th, 2020, following his ascension to the Vice Presidency.

Vice Presidency

Bo was selected as Libertarian Party Presidential nominee and Dixie Governor Sandoval’s Vice Presidential nominee during his campaign for the Presidency in the November 2020 election. Originally slated to face a ticket composed of Former Senator Trash and Rep. Kevin Murphy, they faced off against Former House Speaker NotAName and Former Representative XRT-17 following the Trash Scandal, along with an independent ticket of Ryan Daly and Former Senator Zarphos.

The two went on to win the election in a landslide, winning in the North, Jefferson, Dixie, and Washington, D.C. Sandoval and Bo won a total of 18 electoral votes to NotAName and XRT-17’s 11 electoral votes, with Daly and Zarphos not winning any. Furthermore, they won a majority of the national popular vote with a 10 point margin. The following day, Bo was sworn in as Vice President of the United States.

As Vice President, Bo has been an active governing partner for President Sandoval, something which he promised during the campaign. In the role, he has taken COVID-19 head on as head of the White House Coronavirus Committee, along with presiding over the Senate on a regular basis similar to that of his predecessor in the Vice Presidency, Cabin. Furthermore, he has helped attempt to implement the administration’s agenda, having helped author various pieces of legislation and advising on things such as executive orders.

Libertarian Party

Following the November 2020 federal elections, Libertarian Party Chairwoman Valerie opted not to seek a third term as Chairman. Bo opted to run, and faced off against Aegues Phoenix for the role. Bo emerged victorious, taking 80% of the vote, and was elected to be the Libertarian Party’s third Chair. Bo opted not to run for a second term as Chairman, and he was succeeded by Howard Elkridge.

Political Beliefs

Bo is one of the more moderate members of the Libertarians, and is extremely socially liberal. Economically, he is around the center, though he has opposed certain left wing measures such as the Direct Tax Amendment or bills to raise the minimum wage at the federal level. On social issues, he supported the Choice Amendment and was also the plaintiff in a court case to strike down Dixie’s abortion ban. He also supports further power devolution to the states, the land value tax, and a universal basic income. His liberal stance on things such as LGBTQ+ rights and abortion has supposedly helped him with certain moderate left wing voters in various elections, such as his election to the Senate.

Personal Life

Bo is married to his wife, Amanda, an educator and teacher, and together they have two children, Carolann and Henry. Bo has a private residence in Tampa, Florida, along with a home in Arlington, Virginia.
