“Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind” | Amanpour and Company

A majority of Republican candidates in the upcoming midterm elections have either expressed doubt about the legitimacy of the 2020 election, or rejected the result outright. What is the future of the GOP? Author and journalist Robert Draper examines Republican election denial as a challenge to American democracy itself, as laid out in his new book, "Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind." Draper speaks with Michel Martin about what lies ahead.
Originally aired on October 20, 2022.
