GOP Rips 'MAGA Democrats' for Invoking Trump in Campaigns

Republicans are calling out endangered "MAGA Democrats" trying to get themselves reelected who continue to sidle up next to former President Donald Trump in their campaigns in the hopes of attracting undecided voters, the Washington Examiner reported.

Vulnerable Democrats from both chambers on Capitol Hill are spending millions in TV advertising, touting Trump policies they say they agree with to praising him for legislative pieces of their own that he signed during his first term.

National Republican Congressional Committee press secretary Will Reinert called them "MAGA Democrats" who are running ads "better suited for a [Saturday Night Live] skit than a serious congressional campaign," he told the Examiner.

The list of Trump-embracing Democrats is extensive:

Rep. Jared Golden, Maine
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, Wisconsin
Sen Jon Tester, Montana
Sen. Bob Casey, Pennsylvania
Sen. Sherrod Brown, Ohio
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, Michigan

Casey recently launched an ad embracing Trump's tariffs and saying he "bucked Biden to protect fracking."

A Baldwin ad praised Trump for signing her "Made in America" bill. Slotkin began in August, running an ad touting Trump signing her law on drug prices.

Tester appealed to "lifelong Republicans" in an ad while Brown earlier this year touted a bill of his Trump signed to stop drugs at the border.

In Ohio on Monday, a union supporting Brown released an ad linking the Democrat to the other sitting senator from Ohio — vice presidential nominee JD Vance.

"Sen. Brown puts party politics aside and fights for our workers and our safety so Ohio doesn’t ever get railroaded again," says the ad, showing a side-by-side photo of Brown and Vance.

The Senate Republican fundraising arm blistered Democrats for voting to twice impeach/convict Trump and stonewalling his "agenda at every turn" only to latch onto his battleground popularity with the election one week away.

"Now that they can see the writing on the wall, they’re trying to rewrite history," National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Philip Letsou told the Examiner in a statement. "These Democrats have no respect for their own voters, and that’s why they feel so comfortable flagrantly lying."
