James Edwards

James Crockett Edwards (born December 2, 1965) was an American politician who served as the 51st Vice President of the United States from January 20th, 2025 until his resignation on December 17th, 2026. Edwards also served as Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi from 2003 to 2007.

Edwards was born in Gulfport, Mississippi, and lived there for 18 years before moving to Tuscaloosa, Alabama as to be able to travel to where he was attending at the University of Alabama where he was attending. In 1984 at the age of 19 James exited College and enlisted in the United States Marine Corp to "get in touch with his inner patriot", He was sent to Beirut, Lebanon in response to the bombing of the United States embassy back in 1983.

Upon returning back home and moving to Jackson in 1986 James decided on marrying his high-school sweetheart Lela Thompson who would give birth to his first son Scott a year later. Edwards found himself interested in politics in the summer of 1995 and began to spend his time drawing political cartoons in his basement to which he would show his neighbors and wife. The cartoons eventually got published in the local newspaper "The Clarion-Ledger" and James would receive mild popularity which he used to his advantage in his run for Mayor of Jackson in 2003, which he won.

It wasn't until after 2024 that James found himself involved in politics again after he met and befriended Dr. Jason Miner in a bar in Dayton, Ohio. Upon talking for a while about the issues of the government and America Miner presented James with an offer at becoming his Vice, to which James would accept.

After a long fought campaign against candidates Jack Brogan, and Rand Paul. Jason and James came out on top as the winners of the 2024 Presidential Elections after a contingency election was called when no candidate achieved the majority. James was what some called "A forgetful Vice President" as many of his achievements did not receive enough media coverage as it should have, as those of them that did were barely interesting. After serving under Miner for several months James began to question the president's methods of leading which would eventually lead to the famed Miner Recession and after a few days of careful thought, James resigned not only to escape negative attention but also concerning health problems as the stress of the Vice Presidency wasn't doing his Coronary Artery Disease any favors.

Only a few weeks after his resignation James suffered a 2nd Heart Attack in his home at the age of 61 and died. His funeral was attended by politicians such as John Jones, Scott Brown, and Alex Jones. On May 12, 2026 Lela, Jame's wife wrote a biography on her husband titled "Done It All".
