With the midterms less than two weeks away, Republicans are scrambling to recover the horrible position they put themselves in with Trump's tariffs and war in Iran. Trump has been on the trail talking about how hot men are. Vivek Ramaswamy went full evil when he chose to platform his opponent's estranged mother in a campaign ad despite her history of enabling abuse against Amy Acton. Then, in response to the backlash, JD Vance took the stage to defend Ramaswamy's attacks, not once, but TWICE, despite previously calling to leave family out of political attacks. In other news, Israel is running pro-Iran War ads in Iowa, Mike Rogers has a history of support for the Muslim Brotherhood, and the centrists are claiming Mamdani.
