Succession season 4 episode 8: Who won the election?
Well, technically we should just say that Mencken and Jimenez are really the only two contenders. Connor Roy is there, but we thought that his presence was more as a spoiler than anything else. We spent so much time on his political aspirations over the years and we had to think that, on some level, there needed to be a final purpose for it. We would’ve loved nothing more for him to screw over one of his siblings, especially when you consider how terrible that they have been to them over the years.

So what actually happened? It was curious, for starters, that Connor wasn’t even mentioned in the opening part of this episode. The rest of the characters were two preoccupied on the other candidates. When we finally got to Connor, he was talking to Tom and complaining about the lack of screentime he was getting on ATN.
Eventually, Connor did concede and while he claimed he was going to endorse Mencken, we’re not altogether sure that he did that. Instead, he made it clear that “the Conheads are coming,” which sounds a little bit like a threat.
The Wisconsin dilemma
Should ATN call it? Roman applied a lot of pressure to make that happen, which was the thing that would give Mencken a win. The funny thing, though, is that Greg was the person who was supposed to rally the message, and he took a little bit of time to relay it. We almost thought he would stall forever.
Yet that didn’t happen: He spread the message and Mencken was called as next President.
