The White House is switching into campaign mode as it seeks to protect the GOP’s congressional majorities in 2018.

Republicans face stiff political headwinds ahead of the midterms, with election prognosticators increasingly forecasting a blue wave that could produce the first Democratic-controlled House since 2010. President Trump is gearing up for a fall blitz, with aides saying he plans to hit the campaign trail for Republican candidates four, five or even six days a week starting around Labor Day.

The president will touch down in Pennsylvania on Saturday for GOP House candidate Rick Saccone, who is running neck-and neck with Democrat Conor Lamb ahead of next week’s special election. Republicans will fly into a panic if they lose the district, which Trump won by 20 points only 13 months ago.

The White House says it’s been inundated with candidates seeking the president’s endorsement and aides are eager to get Trump on the stump. The White House is open to the possibility of backing candidates in some GOP primaries, as well.

1. Yes, I'm sure most Republicans will be Screaming "Get me more Trumps!"

what a loser. What type of journalist grinds out this constant drumbeat of how powerful and popular this asinine, corrupt, overweaned blowhard is? I mean seriously, it's total propaganda.

2. trump is the yugest campaign resource

for Democrats in 2018. Please, please campaign 24/7 for the next 8 months donnie dunderhead. Not only will it assure a Dem majority in both houses and progress in the state & local races across the country it may slow down making America a great 3rd world shithole.

3. "plans to hit the campaign trail for Republican candidates four, five or even six days a week"

That cuts into his golfing time so it won't be "four, five, or even six days a week".



(he may do 1 or 2 days a week and the other couple days will be golf in NJ or VA and at that point, Manafort's 2nd trial will be underway)

4. When Trump endorses a candidate, he usually loses.

Please endorse as many candidates as possible Trump.

If I was a republican candidate, god forbid, I wouldn't want Trump's endorsement. I would distanced myself from him as much as possible. I would hope he doesn't mention me and endorses republicans in other races.

6. Please 45*, make personal appearances for every tight race in the country!!!

That will certainly help Democrats.
