As election enters its final stretch, some Republicans are distancing from Trump

A growing number of Republican candidates and lawmakers are publicly distancing themselves from President Trump over the war in Iran, rising living costs, and immigration policy. With less than 40 days until the midterm elections, vulnerable GOP contenders are attempting to project independence. They seek to counter Trump's low approval ratings and appeal to skeptical voters as the party scrambles to defend slim congressional majorities in high-stakes toss-up races.
