GOP Grumbles as Trump Hits Campaign Trail
August 4, 2018 at 8:08 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
President Trumps strategy of becoming aggressively involved in the midterm elections is prompting concern among some Republicans who worry hes complicating the political calculus for GOP candidates trying to outrun his popularity, the AP reports.
Those Republicans worry their statewide candidates may rise or fall based on Trumps standing, muddling their path to maintain control of Congress.
But Trump has no plans to step out of the spotlight. He will hold a rally Saturday in Ohio and plans to host two fundraisers at the Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster, New Jersey, next week for House and Senate candidates.

(6,377 posts)1. OH-12 could be a sort of bellweather in terms of Trump's impact.
The race is polling at a dead heat. If Danny O'Conner ends up winning, it'll likely point to the conclusion that Trump's impact in campaigning is either irrelevant or actually hurts Republican candidates.
Remember that Trump held rallies for Rick Saccone and Roy Moore during the home stretch of incredibly tight races...and both went on to lose a few days later.
