Wikipedia’s edit history shows Vivek Ramaswamy paid to remove lines about his Soros Fellowship and role in Ohio’s COVID-19 response.
His “nationally ranked” junior tennis claims remained.

I encourage Maine people to vote for Democrats up and down the ballot who will stand up for our values and stand up to Trump.

Okay, well, he was already president
Sneaky big winner of the 2026 midterms could be Obama.
Won a whole news cycle with a joke. Made Republicans look like fools acting like Cheesecake Factory foyers are as sacred as an American flag. Ossoff is crushing with a Millennial Obama act, El Sayed has mended bridges, and here’s Talarico updating the 2004 DNC speech vibes for 2026.
