Since Condoleezza Rice victory in 2004 the Readjuster has begun to dominate national politics for the nation. Marco Rubio's victory in 2016 has allowed the party to push through many of it's policy with it's control of both houses of the legislation, pushing for tax cuts to help the economy and benefits to military veterans.
Also Rubio has worked hard on strengthening ties with his fellow BRIC Nations and the countries from Central and South American in which he believes a possible multinational union of the national would strengthen the countries economies to challenge that of the United States, Europe, and Asia. With Rubio popularity among the Confederates, especially in the major states of Cuba, Georgia, Florida, and Texas that the party has a good chance of keeping the President's Mansion.

In the five presidential elections the party has competed in since reforming it has yet to win a single state.
