Trump Has Already Found Someone to Blame if the Republicans Lose the Midterm Elections.
Trump is signaling that Republicans could take the blame if the party loses seats, even as his approval rating remains low, CNN said.
- President Donald Trump appears to be laying the groundwork to blame congressional Republicans for potential November midterm losses, despite 63% of Americans disapproving of his management.
- Earlier this month, Trump claimed voters are angry at other Republicans, not him, while urging Senate Republicans to pass his Save America Act to avoid electoral defeat.
- This week, the president shared a post warning Republicans were 'sleepwalking' to defeat for failing his agenda, while telling voters to 'pretend' he is on the ballot this fall.
- White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded Thursday that Trump is 'wholeheartedly committed to helping Republicans' retain the majority, contradicting concerns about distancing.
- Analysts warn that blaming the GOP for losses could spark significant intraparty conflict, especially as the MAGA base historically struggles to turn out when Trump is not on the ballot.
