How helpful is it to Republicans across the nation fighting these midterms with an unpopular president at their back, um all sorts of unpopular policies hung round their necks?

Can they in other states use candidates like El Said to demonize the Democrats and help their um turnout?
voice-verified
Mike, we've had an email from one of our Americasters, Noah Pavett, uh, and he says that on recent shows there's been lots of discussion about what Democrats need to do to win the upcoming midterm cycle, and obviously that's what we've just been talking about too.
voice-verified
But he says there's been a lot less discussion about what Republicans have to do.
voice-verified
U and one of the things he wants to know is what influence Donald Trump um has on the party electorally, which is very interesting.
voice-verified
And I have to ask you, in that context, does
voice-verified
Does Donald Trump care whether Republican candidates win in the midterm elections?
voice-verified
Care.
voice-verified
Because if he does, he's going a very funny way about showing it because everything he's done in the last few weeks and months would suggest that he actively wants them to lose.
voice-verified
He's not helping them in any way.
voice-verified
There's a theory going round Washington, as you know um all too well, Mike, in this town where everybody's absolutely obsessed with politics, um uh all sorts of theories uh do the rounds all the time, may or may not be based in reality, but I'd love to get your take on this.
voice-verified
Um people speculate that Donald Trump doesn't really care about whether Republicans have control of Congress, of the House of Representatives, or the Senate, because he thinks he can govern without them by executive order.
voice-verified
What he cares about is having an absolute lock on the
voice-verified
Republican Party.
voice-verified
And we've seen him meddle in primaries, sometimes getting candidates selected who are maybe not the strongest candidate in the midterm elections.
voice-verified
But he is sick fed up of um elected Republicans arguing against him in public.
voice-verified
He wants to own all of them, and if that means that he doesn't have a majority in the Congress, then so be it.
voice-verified
All right, see you next week.
voice-verified
Joo, äiti arvaa mitä.
voice-verified
No?
