Way, way back in the episode one review, there was mention of what was to come for a season of Drag Race that coincides with an election year; in season four there was a political debate challenge, season eight had a political attack ad challenge, and season twelve brings it right back around to a political debate between the remaining seven queens – a hilarious foreshadowing of the obnoxiously over-packed debates for the 2020 Democratic candidate that happened months after these episodes were filmed.
