President Trump’s planned campaign blitz for the November midterm elections is creating a difficult choice for Republicans in competitive races as his approval rating reaches a new low of 32 percent. Trump is scheduled to campaign Wednesday in North Carolina with Senate nominee Michael Whatley, beginning what Republicans describe as a broader effort to nationalize the elections and keep the Senate seat Republican. His allies argue that only Trump can reliably mobilize parts of the Republican base, while Democrats say his record on costs and war could alienate swing voters. Trump urged supporters to treat him as if he were on the ballot and offered $5,000 to every U.S. adult if Republicans retain their majorities. Vice President Vance is also expected to campaign for candidates. Some vulnerable Republicans attended the party’s two-day convention in Dallas and embraced Trump, while others, including Reps. Tom Barrett and Brian Fitzpatrick and Sens. Susan Collins and Dan Sullivan, stayed away. Republicans also face the historical tendency of the president’s party to lose House and Senate seats during an administration’s first two years.
