257, the Speaker is not irreplaceable_2

In another timeline, Riel Edwards lamented that his personal votes might not compare with those of the other two candidates, so he didn't participate in the next gubernatorial election, but now it was different.

Donnie's influence was greater than Nucky's, and there were more weapons in the ammunition depot, giving Riel Edwards hope.

During a conversation with Riel Edwards, Donnie also made his choice, indicating his willingness to continue supporting Riel Edwards for Governor of New Jersey.

It's best to stick with the devil you know!

Donnie, Nucky, and Riel Edwards had established a solid foundation of cooperation. There was no need to switch loyalties, and having Riel Edwards serve another term as the Governor of New Jersey would mean one less opponent for Brad Dorn when he ran for Governor later on.

Brad Dorn's political path had already been laid out by Donnie. Next year, Brad Dorn would succeed the current Mayor of Atlantic City and become the Mayor of Atlantic City.
