What are Trump toadies to do now? Pivot hard, obviously.
Mother Jones surveys the contortions of Donald Trump's most diehard allies after their massive midterm losses: Laura Loomer announces a break citing balance and an upcoming wedding just after the Washington Post reported she was paid to post political tweets without disclosing it (denials she issued), while Benny Johnson calls the Iran war "not worth it," Ted Cruz admits many voters' lives got harder, JD Vance writes "the reason we lost is the war," and MAHA figures like Tony Lyons open the door to working with Democrats. Mother Jones frames it all as loyalists trying to keep ties to the president while dodging blame for the wipeout.
