GOP Urges Trump to Stay Quiet During Debates
June 26, 2019 at 6:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


USA Today: “As 10 Democrats climb on stage Wednesday for the first presidential debate of the 2020 election, Trump will be half a world way, en route to the annual G-20 summit in Japan. When a second group of Democrats debate a day later, the president will be meeting with world leaders to discuss thorny issues such as Iran, North Korea and global trade.”

“Republican strategists say the timing offers Trump a rare opportunity to rise above the fray of national politics as Democrats battle with each other and court the party’s liberal base voters. But those strategists also predict that Trump – who has already toyed with the idea of live-tweeting his reaction to the debates – will be unable to resist the temptation to weigh in.”
