GOP Candidates Split On Trump

Republican candidates in competitive Senate and governor’s races split over President Donald Trump, with some criticizing his policies and others embracing him. Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers called for ending the tariff war with Canada, saying Canada is not Michigan’s enemy, after earlier defending the policy. Republicans are trying to hold narrow congressional majorities as frustration over inflation, fuel costs, the Iran war and tariffs threatens support, while Trump’s voters remain crucial. Maine Sen. Susan Collins opposed the Iran war and Canada tariffs; Democratic challenger Troy Jackson accused her and her husband of profiting from the war, which Collins denied as outrageous. The elections are within weeks.
