Trump Who?
A president who demanded loyalty is no longer getting it.
In the midst of the midterm elections, a growing number of Republican candidates are distancing themselves from President Trump, as his approval ratings continue to plummet. A Republican political consultant noted that the current environment is a "nightmare" for Republicans, with gas prices averaging $4.50 per gallon and the national debt exceeding $40 trillion.
Trump's approval rating has dropped to 32 percent, the lowest in his political career, and only 17 percent of respondents in a recent poll approved of his handling of the cost of living. Candidates such as Senator Ralph Alvarado of Kentucky, Representative Andy Barr of Kentucky, and Senator Rand Paul have recently removed mentions of Trump from their campaign websites and clashed with the White House over various issues.
