Republican governors up for reelection in 2018 are grappling with how to approach President Trump during the contests, and whether they should keep him away from the campaign trail, according to a report from The New York Times.
The governors have discussed strategies to avoid Trump on the trail, and have even gone directly to Vice President Pence to voice their concerns about the White House intervening in races.
The 2018 races are critical to both parties because the governors who are elected could play a significant role in redrawing legislative boundaries after 2020.
Republican governors are reportedly concerned by Trump's increasingly low approval ratings with voters, and the strength from opposition voters in the Democratic Party. This opposition was most recently seen in gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia earlier this month.

The Republicon that they endorsed and help elect and publicly pretend to like.
The GOP brand and the Trump brand are welded together by their own actions.

(6,041 posts)We want you to come to Ohio very often in the next 11-1/2 months. We have a gubernatorial election next year, the republican nominee will need your help as will the Teapublican state senators and state reps plus the senate nominee that will face Sen Sherrod Brown.
In our district Steve Chabot may face a challenge to stay in the House of Representatives. See that you give him some 'help'.
Oh and please be as narcissistic, irrational and as politically incorrect as you possibly can be. We are counting on you to help the Ohio GOP so they can get what they deserve.
