My unsolicited advice to Republicans for the midterms is to spend every day from now until the election talking about Fauci & Covid. Maybe even promise more Fauci hearings if you retain the majority. Let Rand Paul speak in every swing district/state. Should be a winning formula.

Looking back, there was no singular force more responsible for Trump’s return than the mainstream media. They brought him back on stage, helped him through the primary, and carried him through the worst general election campaign anyone has ever seen. And then they celebrated.
