Ron Brownstein: Republicans ‘Caught Between a Rock and Hard Place’ Ahead of Midterms

RUSH EXCERPT:

BROWNSTEIN: “Look, during Donald Trump‘s first term in the eleltions of Republicans, Senate, Senate the Senate. Susan Collins in 2020 was the only Republican in a Senate race who won in a s ste where Trump‘s, uh, job rating g was net negative in the exit popos, she was the only one. She was the only one who won more than 8% ofoters who disapproved of Donald Trump. Uh, inin a Senate race. So, you know I I an, that that‘s what you‘re looking at. And, you know, if you are running in Ohio or Alaska, uh, much less Maine and North Carolina, Michigan, Georgia, all of these places with competitive Senate races. Uh, the high likelihood where we are now is that Donald Trump is well under 50%. and as I said, Republicans are caught between The Rock and hard place."
