Kevin Mahnken

The Republican governor of Massachusetts is staggeringly popular, even among Democrats. That may have been a political liability.

He claims to want to save the Republican Party—by opposing its beloved leader and pushing policies more popular with Democrats.

Every four years, the party mounts a hopeless bid for president. But this year, with nominee Jo Jorgensen, there’s even less hope than usual.

Can the political scion secure a place in Washington’s firmament before his last name becomes obsolete?

Trump’s reelection is coinciding with trends that might leave the GOP with its least gender-balanced legislature in years.

Voters in the District and Puerto Rico deserve representation, and the party’s ambitions just might depend on it.
