Is Bucky still a congressman?
Sebastian Stan breaks down the
Winter Soldier’s return in Thunderbolts*
By Sydney Bucksbaum
The biggest shock in Captain America: Brave New World had nothing to do with Harrison Ford turning into a Red Hulk or Sam Wilson (Anthony Mackie) somehow surviving their fight despite not having any super soldier serum running through his veins. Nope, it was actually Sebastian Stan’s quick, bizarre cameo revealing that Bucky Barnes… was running for Congress.
Yes, the mass-murdering, former Hydra operative was on the campaign trail, running for a seat in the House of Representatives. Why not! And as we learn at the beginning of Thunderbolts*, despite his decades of killing as the Winter Soldier, Bucky wins the race and becomes Brooklyn’s congressman. Weirder things have happened in politics, but still…
However, as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) snidely points out later in the movie, Bucky only lasts half a term before donning his black leather jacket, hopping on a motorcycle, and letting his Winter Soldier freak flag fly again. And with Val publicly declaring that he, along with the rest of the Thunderbolts team, is now the New Avengers, is Buckty’s political career officially over?
Since it’s not clear onscreen, Entertainment Weekly went straight to Stan to find out. “Yeah, it’s almost like crossing it out, right?” the actor tells EW. “He’s still been trying to find his way of how he can contribute in a way that he hasn’t before. Ultimately, he realizes, 'No, I am who I am, and I do things how I do them, and I should just do that.’” . . . .

making bucky a politician is one of the most insane choices

I've concluded that the main donor to James Barnes' congressional campaign was Baron Helmut Zemo (he thought it would be funny)
