A Few Thoughts for the End of the Week

Republicans have nominated some really weak candidates in key Senate races.

• In Georgia, Herschel Walker (R) is a nightmare candidate regularly caught lying to his own staff about his past.
• In Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz (R) is a carpetbagger unable to fend off attacks from a rival who’s been too sick to campaign for the last two months.
• In Ohio, J.D. Vance (R) is an untested, first time candidate running against a congressman who’s had his eyes set on higher office for more than a decade.

And on August 2, Republicans could very well nominate Eric Greitens (R), the disgraced former governor, in Missouri and Blake Masters (R), who openly flirts with white supremacism, in Arizona.
