In nine key Senate races ahead of the 2026 midterms, five Republican candidates will not commit to campaigning alongside President Trump, according to a New York Times report. The reluctance suggests some Republicans in competitive states see his presence as a liability with swing voters, even as others remain eager to align with him.
Why now: Distance between Trump and his own party's candidates is a telling signal about his influence heading into the midterms.
