Lindsey Graham just kicked over an anthill
Senate Republicans don’t have the votes to pass an abortion ban. Nor will introducing this legislation help their midterm prospects. Nor could the Republicans override a Biden veto on this even if they did win the midterms. This is a vile attempt at a distraction.
Lindsey Graham is giving away that he expects Donald Trump’s legal troubles, and his own legal troubles, to get worse soon. But hey, if Graham and the other Republicans under criminal investigation want to help the Democrats’ midterm prospects by showing voters in the middle exactly what evil the Republicans want to do if they ever do get back into power, then so be it. Graham and Trump just be truly desperate and panicked if they’re willing to harm their own party’s midterm prospects just to create a distraction for themselves.
That said, even though the Democrats gain more momentum by the day, the midterms are still a toss up – and elections don’t win themselves. You have to jump in and help get your side over the top. Yes, you! Get involved in these highly competitive midterm races:

About this list: The “volunteer” links are the volunteer page provided by the candidate’s official website. The “donate” links lead directly to the ActBlue donation page that the candidate has designated on his or her official website, meaning the money goes directly to the candidate. The Toss-up, Lean-R, and Lean-D rankings primarily come from Cook Political Report, which has had a strong track record with such predictions. The order of the candidates is random with each category, and is changed each time the list is republished, in an attempt at promoting them evenly. Broken or incorrect links? Email us.
