USA TODAYWASHINGTON – After Kentucky's Republican Gov. Matt Bevin appeared to have lost reelection bid Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that his margin of defeat would have been much larger if he had not held a rally in Lexington on Monday to encourage supporters to get out and vote.
And the president and his team are likely to either take credit or deflect blame depending on the outcome of the Nov. 16 runoff in Louisiana's governor's race between the Democratic incumbent John Bel Edwards and Republican businessman Eddie Rispone. Rispone got Trump's full-throated support during a rally in Louisiana on Wednesday night.
Rachel Bitecofer, assistant director of the Wason Center, concluded that in Virginia,"affiliation with President Trump, an affiliation all Republican candidates share by party label, is not an asset in this cycle." By comparison, 35% of the candidates whom Vice President Mike Pence actively campaigned for won their races. In former President Barack Obama's case, 62% of them won, while 64% of the candidates who appeared with former Vice President Joe Biden were victorious.
"Trump voters showed up and, in the end, Gillum came up short," said Nova Southeastern University political scientist Charles Zelden.Doug Jones defeat of Roy Moore

All races are up to the voters and all races can’t be over predicted just to sell screen time and be correct! Political News media are as good as predicted politics as weather personnel are at predicting the weather

He negatively impacts just about everything.
“Experts say” blah blah ... well in Kentucky it closed a 19% gap to .02% virtually overnight ... Trump is the first politician more dedicated to his constituents than his donors in a LONG TIME. TRUMP2020
Dems, Experts and Main Stream Media have been saying that for years and he is still President stop the B/S .
usa is wrong again Yal like being wrong all the time huh?
In the suburbs moderate republicans especially women have had enough of Trump and his stooges in Congress. Their voice may be louder in 2020 than it was in 2018 when they flipped enough republican districts to give the House to democrats.
People have to be getting tired of hatred! He is not a good person, he is racist etc and doesn't deserve to serve! He is mentally unfit and getting worse. I believe this country is in real danger!
Not really.
The rallies are for Trumps fragile ego.
