The story of America’s midterms is a surreal one, combining both the ordinary and the extraordinary
the propagandists, the media back there. They keep calling us the most dangerous candidates running in America. What they really mean is that we are a danger to them and to their power,” says Abe Hamadeh, the Republican running to be Arizona’s attorney-general, at one stop on the “Arizona First” bus tour in the closing days of the campaign. He is part of a trio ofseeking state office—a Stop the Steal triumvirate within spitting distance of elected power.
Start with the democratic stakes. Ms Lake’s fawning over Mr Trump exceeds normal standards of obsequiousness. “My husband’s my second-favourite man,” she said by way of explanation at a campaign event. She made sure to be photographed vacuuming the red carpet that Mr Trump would stand on. If pressed to certify a narrow election loss for Mr Trump in her state in 2024, there is little question that fealty would triumph over duty.
Kevin McCarthy, the would-be speaker of the house if Republicans win, had a brief flicker of conscience after the attack on January 6th 2021 when he suggested his party break with Mr Trump. It took only a few weeks for him to reverse his mind and ally himself ever more closely with him. That about-face will probably be rewarded by the power that he seeks—and the calcification of a dangerous strain of thinking within the heart of the party.
Even Sean Patrick Maloney, the Democratic congressman who chairs the party apparatus responsible for ensuring a majority in the House of Representatives, is fighting for his own political survival in a close election. “This new fire-breathingbrand, which is willing to steamroll over common sense and democratic values and constitutional freedoms to get what it wants—no part of the country is immune from this, including New York,” he explains.
