The United States Senate, long thought to be the most prestigious legislative body by reputation, is fast being degraded by the lust for power and control.
There have always been Senators who were a disgrace to the institution by their actions or words, but now, the Republican Party has decided that Donald Trump should decide who is obedient enough to be promoted as nominees.
So we have the most disgraceful group of potential Senators in one election cycle ever, and if these candidates end up winning due to loyalty to Donald Trump by ill informed voters, then the institution of the Senate will be irreparably harmed!
America has had 1,994 US Senators since 1789, and there will be more than 2,000 after the midterm elections.
But do we want the likes of Herschel Walker in Georgia, Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania, Blake Masters in Arizona, Adam Laxalt in Nevada, Eric Schmitt in Missouri, Don Bolduc in New Hampshire, and J. D. Vance in Ohio being added to a legislative body that deserves people who are not “Election Deniers”?
