Republican candidates are beginning to quietly scrub mentions of Trump from their websites due to his plummeting approval rate.
Don’t let their distance fool you. A vote for a Republican in the midterms is a vote for Trump.

The war is over. Prices are down. Health care is solved. Check is in the mail.
He really needs to do a lot more of these rallies, in more states, they are great support for Republican candidates in tight races in midterm elections.
Trump: "I know more about inflation, I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world. Well, there's a woman sitting over there. She's a housewife but she's very good. She got a natural instinct for business. She perhaps knows more than I do but I don't think so"
