    Republican candidates distance from Trump in competitive races

    In a striking departure, GOP candidates in tight midterm contests are publicly breaking with the president. Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers called for ending the Iran war, Kansas Sen. Roger Marshall raised concerns about ICE operations, Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar ran an ad saying Trump's immigration enforcement "has gone too far," Byron Donalds removed Trump references from his campaign site, and Utah Sen. John Curtis called for an investigation into Trump's son.

    “This is the first time in Trump's presidency that voters have stopped giving him the benefit of the doubt…”

Hispanic voters and other swing demographics have moved sharply away from the president over affordability and immigration concerns.
