Some down-ballot Republicans are getting a little nervous with Donald Trump at the top of the ticket and are joining the chorus of Republicans begging him to stay on message while campaigning. Meanwhile, another JD Vance comment is drawing immediate backlash - this time, for how he's talking about abortion rights.
This is an adapted excerpt from the Aug. 14 episode of 'The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle.' Since Vice President Kamala Harris entered the presidential race, down-ballot Republicans appear to be getting nervous. Republicans are desperately trying to get former President Donald Trump to stay on message and focus on substance instead of attacking Harris for her crowd size and racial identity. The last time I was a down-ballot Republican, I was on the ballot with Trump in 2016.
The real problem here is, it’s not just that Trump is completely incapable of articulating an agenda — down-ballot Republicans really don’t have an agenda either. This is a cycle where House Republicans have nothing to take to the American people on virtually every piece of legislation of national consequence.
