Having racked up an unprecedented string of presidential victories already, Franklin D. Roosevelt aspired to win a fourth consecutive term in 1944. An election that, at least IOTL, he narrowly won. But in an alternate 1943, Roosevelt has reluctantly given up on that goal, as an ASB compels him to resign and hand the presidency over to a middle-aged, red-headed Catholic who claims to be the POTUS from twenty years into the future. Upon seeing a slew of other nicely-dressed men sent along with him, the rest of Roosevelt's cabinet quickly follows suit.
Plucking President John F. Kennedy and his advisors straight from 1963 and sending them directly to the Oval Office in January 1943, ASB also ensures that the downtimers see the change in management as completely legitimate in order to prevent this scenario from being a wasted effort. With Kennedy being sworn in as the new president and his 1963 cabinet there to continue advising him, what happens next as JFK seeks to change the timeline and ensure a bright future for America going forwards? I'm especially curious as to what Kennedy's odds of reelection in 1944 probably are--both insofar as strengths like his charisma, good looks, and negotiating his way out of potentially world-ending emergencies like the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as (falsely) perceived weaknesses that'd turn off many voters at this time (such as his Catholicism).
Thank you in advance,
