(10/3/18) According to most major surveys, Republican candidates for the US House of Representatives in November have a tough hill to climb in districts without overwhelming support for the President. Attempting to put some daylight between them and Donald Trump to appeal to independents, while not alienating the President’s core base of supporters is no small task. But, in an article published Oct. 2 entitled “The double lives of vulnerable House Republicans: A recording obtained by POLITICO highlights the conflicting advice GOP members in tough districts are getting,” Rachael Bade of POLITICO reveals that some members of the House’s right-wing Freedom Caucus, namely Virginia Congressman Dave Brat, appear to be attempting to have it both ways—appealing to moderates in their wider message while praising extreme right views and personalities at private campaign rallies. In this week’s “TrumpWatch” on WBAI, host Jesse Lent talks to Rachel about what her reporting reveals about the 2018 election.
