The gathering, dubbed \u201cTrumpapalooza\u201d by Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters, is designed to rally the party and showcase candidates ahead of a crucial election season.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>But for some vulnerable GOP contenders, appearing alongside Trump could come with political risks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Of the 28 Republican candidates contacted by Politico about attending the convention, only two responded.<\/p>\n<p>The hesitation comes as Trump faces some of his weakest polling numbers in months amid his deeply unpopular war in Iran, which has sent gas prices soaring above $5 a gallon, exacerbating the cost-of-living crisis.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, some Republicans are now weighing whether close alignment with the president and his convention could hurt them with undecided voters.<\/p>\n<p>Former Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake told Politico that candidates in competitive statewide races may have little incentive to attend.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe state party has to be the cheerleader, obviously\u2014but the candidates themselves, like [likely Republican gubernatorial nominee] Andy Biggs, who is likely to be the Republican nominee, I can\u2019t see him wanting to go and tie himself to the president at that stage, right before early voting starts,\u201d Flake said.<\/p>\n<p>A Biggs campaign spokesperson stopped short of saying whether the candidate would attend the September convention, telling Politico that the campaign\u2019s attention remains on the July 21 primary and that they \u201chaven\u2019t made any post-primary travel plans yet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One Republican donor, speaking anonymously about internal party dynamics, was even more direct: \u201cThe less you\u2019re associated with Trump, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3500\">ICE Forced Into Drastic Move After Wave of Deadly Shootings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Flake argued that attending the Dallas gathering could also come at a cost, taking candidates away from campaigning in their own states while potentially forcing them to defend controversial issues.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really going to be the Trump show,\u201d Flake said, adding that the president is likely to discuss \u201c2020 and election conspiracies,\u201d topics he said \u201cdon\u2019t play well in Arizona.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not something that statewide candidates in Arizona want to talk about at that stage,\u201d Flake said. \u201cThat\u2019s when they\u2019re wanting to talk about what they\u2019re going to deliver to Arizona or pointing out foibles of the Democrats or whatever else, and it makes it difficult to do that if they\u2019re in Dallas tethered to the president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republican officials, however, argue that distancing from Trump would be a mistake. An RNC official said the party\u2019s strategy is built around the belief that Trump remains an electoral advantage, particularly in turning out Republican voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not seeing Republicans shy away from Trump in the same way you saw maybe in 2018 and you\u2019re seeing a lot more partnership with the White House and political team,\u201d the official told Politico.<\/p>\n<p>The official added that even candidates who skip the convention may still need Trump\u2019s support to energize the Republican base.<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has continued to wield influence in Republican primaries, maintaining a strong record with candidates he has endorsed. A Newsweek tally found that he had backed 14 primary winners and suffered one loss as of early July.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>But according to The Wall Street Journal, Trump has privately told aides that he is not focused on the outcome of the November elections.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3498\">Embattled Republican Senator Tries to Claim Credit for ICE Climbdown<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s planned midterm convention is already creating a political headache for Republicans, with candidates in some of the nation\u2019s tightest races appearing reluctant to embrace the event.
