The midterm elections are occurring in the United States of America, with 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats being contested.
And with so much at stake, everybody is coming out of the woodworks to urge others to vote and to share their political views – including some people we havent seen for a long time.
Dr Evil has made his comeback, and his plan is to make America evil again.
Mike Myers stepped back into his iconic Austin Powers role, bald cap and pinkie ring included, to appear on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon and announce that hes running for Congress.
With Jimmy astonished that Dr Evil was back, the power-mad villain said: Its 2018, evils in right now, its hip, its like playing Fortnite while slamming a Tide Pod and doing the Shiggy Challenge.

Explaining why hes running for Congress, he continued: Originally I was hoping for Brett Kavanaughs job but Trump said I was too even-tempered for that.
In the hopes of getting a congressional seat, Dr Evil formulated a five-point plan for evil – with some truly cruel ideas in there.
Step one: From now on, the only flavour of Pringles will be screamin dill pickle. And the tube will be skinnier, thats evil, because once you pop you have no choice but to stop.
Step two: I will make Don Jr secretary of treasury. The mans made out of dough. Hes like the Pillsbury Doughboy, I just want to poke his belly.
Step three: The amount of time it takes before you can skip a YouTube ad will be increased from five seconds to eight seconds.
Step four was more practical – Dr Evil wants to legalise marijuana to treat his glaucoma.
And step five could be the worst – Baby Shark will be made the national anthem.
Dear god, no.

Even if Dr Evil doesnt get a seat in the midterms, we could be seeing him again soon.
Myers admitted that he wants to do another Austin Powers film from the villains perspective.
