Republicans Distance Themselves From Trump as Polls Shift
Original: Republicans distance from Trump amid polls
Republican candidates and officeholders are publicly distancing themselves from Donald Trump as polling shows weakening support, particularly in competitive districts. Lawmakers are reportedly avoiding joint appearances and softening ties with the former president ahead of upcoming elections. Commentators see the move as an effort to protect vulnerable seats, while Trump allies dismiss the polls and warn that abandoning him could hurt the party with its base.
Why now: Fresh polling numbers are prompting Republican politicians to rethink their ties to Trump ahead of elections.
