Just 50 days after losing to Liz Truss in a Conservative leadership election, Rishi Sunak finds himself the prime minister of the United Kingdom anyway.
The Conservative Party originally rejected Sunak because of his tax policies as chancellor of the exchequer and his perceived role in bringing down former Prime Minister Boris Johnson. But after the financial turmoil that followed Truss's tax-cutting "mini-budget," Conservative members of Parliament (M.P.s) forced her from office, creating a fresh route for Sunak to bounce into Downing Street.
