RUFUS – Former Vice President Travis Loretti is currently leading all Nationalist presidential candidates in the most recent rounds of polling, likely setting him up for the Nationalist Party’s nomination. Loretti was seen as the strongest candidate for the party to choose.

Loretti served as the 3rd Vice President of the United States Of Jesstopia from 2022 until 2024, and was endorsed by several prominent Nationalists when he announced his bid for President on November 19, 2025. Loretti has been relatively popular with voters who support the Nationalist party citing his leadership as Vice President as a major factor.

“Former Vice President Travis Loretti will see incredible numbers, and has seen increasing popularity among Nationalists as candidates prepare to officially kick off their Presidential campaigns next year. Loretti appears to be heading for the top spot as Nationalists will need to nominate their nominee by July 2028,” said Marcus Kyser, a political analyst for News 28. “If Loretti continues his streak of popularity, he could easily win the nomination given he has full support from the nominating members of the nomination committees.”

Loretti is set to launch his campaign which is likely set to focus on President Laylin’s pitfalls and hateful rhetoric against LGBTQ Jesstopians, immigrants seeking safety of the United States Of Jesstopia and the President’s ongoing war with Iran. Loretti has been an outspoken critic of the President and his policies and even rallied with LGBTQ groups calling for Laylin’s impeachment.

“We must fight President Laylin and end his reign of terror on the transgender community, a community who for the longest time has fought for their place in society,” said former Vice President Travis Loretti. “As your President, I will work to continue the work that as Vice President, I and President McCallum were able to accomplish for this great community. I can’t think of any reasonable person in this country that would vote to scrape the rights away from any Jesstopian and President Laylin will continue to strip your rights away. I hope that we can reverse many of these harmful policies that have plagued our Federal government for too long.”
