The middle-aged, bald Clyde Sorin couldn't understand how things had turned out this way!
His brother, Alex Sorin, was a senator from Arizona, and aside from being a major landowner, he was also a shareholder in two publicly traded companies.
Of course, a large portion of those shares were held on behalf of his brother...
It was a common practice in a political family!
Many people who don't understand American politics don't realize that in the so-called land of freedom, the United States, power can be inherited.
The father is the governor, the son grows up and in a different form, becomes a congressman, a senator, or supports a puppet to inherit the old man's position. By the third generation, it's not uncommon to see a dramatic return of a certain family to power in the United States.
It's just that state elections are not as high-profile as the U.S. presidential election, so even natives don't particularly understand.
