The Lincoln Project's Stuart Stevens argues that Jack Smith is being unfairly targeted and that Republicans are wasting time on partisan hearings instead of focusing on voters’ economic concerns, calling the attacks on Smith, Fauci, higher education, and accountability examples of an extremist, anti-intellectual movement. He says the GOP has become the “anti-law-and-order” party, criticizes Trump and JD Vance as political liabilities, and describes several candidates and controversies as revealing how deeply the party has embraced Trumpism. Stevens also warns that Republicans have no real governing agenda, points to Trump’s low favorable ratings and ongoing damage to the party, and urges Democrats to run boldly, seek accountability, and use power aggressively if they win by pursuing investigations, impeachment, and other major actions against what he sees as widespread criminality and misconduct.
