Photographs by Zack Wittman On Tuesday, as Americans across the country headed to the polls, a few dozen members of the MAGA faithful flocked to the road outside Mar-a-Lago, where they spent the day tailgating, dancing, and praying for Donald Trump’s restoration to the White House. This was a pilgrimage for some of Trump’s most loyal supporters. Many hailed from Florida, but others had traveled from as far as California to be there, Zack Wittman, who photographed the scene for The Atlantic, told me. They wore their enthusiasm for Trump…

WASHINGTON, D.C. – As Vice President Kamala Harris continues her swing state stumping, Jill Stein is stooping to new lows and garnering support from autocrats like Vladimir Putin and avowed racists like Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

Kennedy, after…
