David Corn and Garrison Hayes discuss the most extreme midterm candidates from the GOP on the latest Stress Test. One candidate for governor in Colorado claims that living together without marriage leads to demonic possession. A Senate candidate in Georgia featured his son-in-law, who has promoted white nationalist and antisemitic content online.
An Ohio governor race ad is weaponizing the childhood trauma of a Democratic rival. David Corn comments on the presence of "bat crap crazy Republicans" on the ballot, predicting they will be part of Trump's legacy. Investigations of GOP midterm candidates have revealed allegations such as Miller allegedly abusing his ex-wife and child, Flippo falsely claiming a Bronze Star, and financial irregularities.
Despite the Republicans facing a "major drubbing on Election Day," David believes there will still be a significant amount of right-wing extremism within the GOP.
