If you’ve ever grown up with brothers or sisters, you’ll know it can get pretty heated when you try to outdo each other in everything you do.

However, this pair of identical twins are taking their sibling rivalry to the next level.

Twin sisters Jessica Ann Tyson (left) and Monica Sparks (right) from Kentwood, Michigan might be identical in every way from their hairstyles down to their voices.

When it comes to politics, however, they don’t see eye to eye that much.

According to the New York Post, these sisters are running as political opponents – in rival parties, of course:

Sparks is running as a Democrat for Kent County’s 12th district seat while her Republican sister, Tyson, hopes to represent the 13th district.

Tyson’s decision to run inspired her sister to launch her own campaign.

I suppose the phrase “Anything you can do, I can do better” applies nicely here, don’t you think?

Per Jacaranda FM, each twin is campaigning for a seat on the governing board that oversees Kent County, which is home to 640 000 people and is the state’s second most populous area, after Detroit.

Y’all might be thinking that their political differences is an awkward topic of discussion, especially at the supper table.

Not so, the twins claim:

Their bond was tested when Tyson endorsed the Republican running in Sparks’s district, instead of her own sister, but both say family and sisterhood come first.

However, they do admit that Tyson’s support for Donald Trump is a bone of contention:

Sparks cites the controversial reality television star-turned-leader as the cause of the country’s political tumult – and a key reason why she is seeking office …

Tyson is a Trump supporter.

“I totally believe in our president,” she says, though she adds that she understands the concerns of those, including Sparks, who oppose him.

Well, after Trump’s recent antics with Playboy model Karen McDougal, I don’t think Tyson should be airing her love for the US president so soon.

Here’s hoping that these sisters are still getting along when one of them takes a seat on that government board.

Goodness knows it’s awkward enough knowing that one of them supports the orange man.
