The Lincoln Project's Rick Wilson & host Molly Jong-Fast discuss Republican candidates and elected officials in panic as Donald Trump’s popularity falls and they scramble to distance themselves from him, including scrubbing him from websites and shifting their messaging on issues like war, diesel prices, and the economy. It highlights trouble for Republicans in states like Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Alabama, where rising costs, rural healthcare problems, and backlash from voters are hurting them, while Trump’s fundraising and spending efforts appear shaky and late. The discussion also says Trump is still behaving as if he is winning, but that his actions—like refusing to make deals, building vanity projects, and being overly deferential to Xi Jinping—are making things worse for himself and for Republicans.
