The West Wing is such a wild show to rewatch if you have approximate knowledge of many things because a lot of the situations are real political situations that are somehow still fucking ongoing and the rest are thinly-veiled fictionalized versions of real places, such as a potential nuclear accident at the "San Andreo nuclear power plant", which I instantly identified as based on the notoriously finicky power plant that was operating within fifty miles of my hometown through my entire childhood, precisely while this show was airing.
