“If Republicans flounder in their effort to recapture the U.S. Senate in 55 days, an inevitable blame game will commence over who’s most responsible for their midterm belly flop. GOP political professionals stand ready to point at Donald Trump, who deposited primary endorsements in six of the most competitive general election contests,” McClatchy reports.
“But the former president’s MAGA base will likely repel against such a judgment and reach for other scapegoats. And a relatively innocuous comment made by Mitch McConnell about candidate quality will hand Trump and his backers just enough ammunition to try and shift blame onto the Kentuckian, who remains unpopular with the Republican base across the country.”
