Trump campaigns for candidates in Texas, Oklahoma Instead of battlegrounds
#News #Politics #Trump
President Donald Trump campaigned in Texas and Oklahoma on Thursday and is scheduled to visit Alabama later today. The president's decision to campaign in reliably red states rather than battlegrounds is raising questions, but a White House official told MS NOW that the strategy may be intentional. The official argued that Trump’s presence in a swing district "would be a net negative for the candidate there" because vulnerable Republicans are trying to distance themselves from him on issues including the Iran war, affordability and data centers. However, the White House disputes that characterization, saying there is "absolutely no distance" between Trump and Republican candidates. MS NOW reporter Jake Traylor joins Way Too Early to break it all down.
