Rachel Maddow reports on Republican chaos in Michigan and Colorado and how the MAGA effort to control the party is causing a wave of turnovers in the leadership of the state parties, including in hotly contested, electorally critical states.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 26 episode of 'The Rachel Maddow Show.' In a presidential election year, all eyes, understandably, are often on the two major-party presidential campaigns. But in an election year like this, with just two months to go until the big day, may I also suggest that you do not sleep on what is happening in the states — because sometimes what’s happening in the states seems like it can’t possibly actually be happening.
Then, right on the heels of that, Republicans in Arizona lost their state party chair after GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake released secretly recorded tapes of Jeff DeWit in which she said he was trying to bribe her. She also reportedly threatened to release more tapes of him. Then the national Republican Party lost its chair. Ronna McDaniel was pushed out — or resigned — apparently to make room for Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law. Lara Trump’s experience for the job included ... being a singer.
