President Donald Trump, who has suggested that Sen. Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination, that President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and that a George Floyd protester whose skull was fractured after he was shoved by a police officer was acting, will have some like-minded company on the ballot in November.

A half-dozen Republican congressional candidates who will be on the ballot Nov. 3 have promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory that Trump is leading a secret battle against a sprawling and powerful liberal child sex-trafficking ring — and more could be joining them.

A survey by the progressive site Media Matters found that 53 candidates running for Congress in 2020 have promoted QAnon. Thirty have already dropped out or have been defeated in primaries, and most are Republicans running in solid Democratic areas. But a candidate in Georgia has emerged as the favorite to win her conservative district in Georgia.
