Biography
Early-life and World War II
McGovern grew up in Mitchell, South Dakota, where he was a renowned debater. Upon the US entry into World War II, he volunteered for the U.S. Army Air Forces.
Post-war (1946-present)
After the unfortunate defeat in the war, he earned degrees from Dakota Wesleyan University and Northwestern University, culminating in a PhD, and became as a history professor. During the 1960 United States elections, McGovern's been elected as a senator for South Dakota. Now he serves alongside with Joe Foss (representing the Nationalists) who was also an ace fighter during the war.
As a liberal Democrat, McGovern's unofficial slogan is "Acid, Amnesty, and Abortion," a phrase made by conservative journalist Robert Novak. McGovern's implied softness on social issues has made him a divisive figure in American politics. Another controversial view from McGovern is the softening of relations with the Greater Germanic Reich and Empire of Japan. He wishes for a detente in the hopes of deescalating world tension, and so that no more American blood is spilled in fighting proxy wars abroad.
In-game
He can publicly express interest to run for presidency in 1972 (except if the '68 election won by the RDC), but eventually losing the Democratic primary to Jeane Kirpatrick.
