@Soibangla: I dispute your edit summary, 538 makes it clear this is the intent. The closest I see to that in the source is

Narration: Recently, a Democratic political action committee came under fire for spending millions to elevate far-right candidates who may be easier to defeat in November.

I read this as 538 saying the Democratic Governors Association was criticized for doing so. (Otherwise, the source quotes Kelly Schulz making the allegation.) 538 saying DGA was accused of such motivation is not the same as saying that was their motivation. Also, resting this on one source is pretty weak.

The rest of your summary, Dems are doing this elsewhere, there is no other reason they'd be doing this, is utterly lacking in support no matter how much anyone may believe it.

Current: Daniel Lewis Cox (born August 9, 1974) is an American far-right politician

Suggested new version: Daniel Lewis Cox (born August 9, 1974) is an American Republican politician described as being far right.

The reason for this change is that the delimiter for "far" changes over time and this revision would make it more "future proof". In coming years, he might be described as being other things and this structure supports those without changing the meaning of the passage. It takes some of the subjectiveness out of the opening sentence. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 18:18, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20221022181800","author":"Ceyockey","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Ceyockey-20221022181800-Suggested_rewording_of_opening_sentence","replies":["c-Ser!-20221022182800-Ceyockey-20221022181800"]}}-->

I get what you're saying, but your proposal's a breach of WP:WEASEL.
