President Donald Trump's advisors and GOP leaders are quietly starting to cast blame for what could be an Election Day blowout for the president and the Republican Party, according to interviews with more than a dozen Republicans. Fingers are pointing every which way. Some are furious with former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale, saying he wasted a massive campaign war chest.
Main Idea: Republicans are starting to blame Donald Trump’s team, especially Jared Kushner and Brad Parscale, as they brace for a possible big 2020 election loss.
Key Points:
A messy Trump campaign could create more political uncertainty for households, workers, and businesses, and a close loss could deepen partisan fights over policy and the economy.
A strong turnout push and clearer fundraising could help campaigns reach voters and give communities a better sense of where resources are flowing.
