The Politician is an American comedy web television series developed by Ryan Murphy for Netflix. It is centered around a politician named Payton Hobart.
The first season of The Politician centers on Payton Hobart, a wealthy student from Santa Barbara, California, who has known since age seven that he’s going to be the President of the United States. But first he’ll have to navigate the most treacherous political landscape of all: Saint Sebastian High School. To get elected Student Body President, secure a spot at Harvard, and stay on his singular path to success, Payton will have to outsmart his ruthless classmates without sacrificing his own morality and carefully crafted image.
In the second season, Payton, now a student at New York University, is running for a seat in the New York State Senate against incumbent Majority Leader Dede Standish.
