Five Republican Senate Candidates Avoid Campaigning With Trump

In nine key Senate races ahead of the 2026 midterms, five Republican candidates will not commit to campaigning alongside President Trump, according to a New York Times report. The reluctance suggests some Republicans in competitive states see his presence as a liability with swing voters, even as others remain eager to align with him.
Why now: Distance between Trump and his own party's candidates is a telling signal about his influence heading into the midterms.
