As Bartlet's time in the White House comes to an end, two formidable men vie for the Presidency: Arnold Vinick, a Republican senator from California, and three-term Houston Democratic Congressman Matthew Santos.

As a grand jury convenes to investigate the military shuttle leak, the campaign's focus changes to national security. Vinick handles the issue while Santos is bound by his party loyalty to align himself with the Bartlet administration.
