How do Republicans still get away with calling themselves the party of “law and order” while simultaneously campaigning with literal criminals?

Bipartisanship with today’s GOP is “getting more difficult every day,” @DougJones tells @mehdirhasan. But it’s not impossible, he adds. “That is the only way we are able to truly get things done in this country … And I think there is room for that."

Final polls say control of the Senate is up for grabs heading into Tuesday’s midterms. What are the Dems doing to try and hold onto the upper chamber? And what might happen if they don’t?

"Regardless of the results, I want everyone who's listening to know we are dealing with a radicalized, weaponized, right-wing movement. They will not stop," @WajahatAli tells Mehdi about the GOP, as Trump is now praising a foreign dictator - calling him a "president for life."

What’s at stake in the midterms?
@mehdirhasan wants you to imagine it’s Jan. 6, 2025. The GOP-controlled House & Senate have gathered to count the electoral votes, and GOP-led states have engineered a 269-269 Biden-Trump tie. Sound implausible? It’s not:

Good job, good effort.
Tonight, on the @MehdiHasanShow, I tried to go through and describe all the crazy, extreme, bonkers, far-right GOP candidates running for office next week in the space of sixty seconds.

It’s hard to overstate just how many extreme far-right candidates the GOP is running in 2022.
Can @mehdirhasan cover all the crazy things they’ve said in 60 seconds or less? Challenge accepted — Start the clock!

There’s a history of presidents appointing big donors as ambassadors—and “both sides do[ing] it doesn’t make it less corrupt,” @mehdirhasan says.
“It is not corrupt,” Trump EU amb. Gordon Sondland says. "It is...citizens of our country who are able to give time and serve."

Ex-Amb. Sondland: “I have not tried to distance myself in any way.”
Mehdi: “You supported the Muslim Ban? You supported building a wall? You supported trying to buy Greenland?”

Will a GOP red wave sweep Rhode Island in the midterms? It seems absurd, but not this year.
And in the state’s second district, GOP candidate Allan Fung is raising another question we don’t ask enough: What exactly is a “moderate” Republican in 2022?

Nevada has extremist, election-denying GOP candidates running not just for Senate — but for secretary of state, too! A Jim Marchant win could have major consequences in 2024.
@RalstonReports says he may be "the most dangerous person ever" to be on a NV ballot.

There's no hiding it: Nevada GOP Senate candidate Adam Laxalt is about as extreme as they come. But, @mehdirhasan asks @natashakorecki, how did he manage to fly below the national radar?

It might be the closest race in the 2022 fight for the Senate, with the most extremist candidate.
Let @mehdirhasan introduce you to Adam Laxalt who, in his words, “has his own unique brand of scary.” WATCH:

He testified against then-President Trump during the first impeachment. And now, he’s out with a new book about his former boss.

One thing is clear: if the GOP takes Congress, democracy itself will be in serious trouble.

Is ex-Amb. Gordon Sondland the next Trump official to try and whitewash his record with a book?
“I’m not trying to distance myself...I was fully supportive of his policies," he says.
Mehdi: “You supported all his policies?…Trying to buy Greenland?”
Watch on @MSNBConPeacock.
