Are you the most active and civic-minded member of your community, consistently hosting group phone banking and canvassing trips to Pennsylvania and Nevada? Do you have strong opinions, the courage to voice them and faith in the promise of America?
If yes, maybe you’ve considered running for public office, but aren’t sure you have what it takes. The responsibility can be intimidating but we’re here to help at The Daily Beast: Please take a few minutes to answer the questions in the quiz below, and see if you have the leadership skills necessary to become the next member of congress, senator or even President of the United States.
1. Have you ever found a bear carcass on the side of the road, thrown it in your car trunk and then driven to New York City to dump it in Central Park, stumping the police for weeks?
2. Have you ever incited an insurrection to prevent the peaceful transfer of power following a presidential election, encouraging your supporters to siege the Capitol dressed in animal pelts and superhero costumes?
3. Have you ever been served a subpoena to sit for a deposition in a civil lawsuit involving allegations that you had sex with a minor?
4. Have you ever been thrown out of a performance of the touring company of the musical Beetlejuice for vaping—and groping?

8. Have you ever pleaded guilty to using campaign funds to shop at Hermes and buy OnlyFans subscriptions?
