Trump’s coalition is growing.
Democrats Stump for Trump
We thought we’d seen everything in politics, but you really can’t top the spectacle of Democrats attacking California GOP Rep. David Valadao for—get this—voting to impeach Donald Trump. Democrats are more worried about Mr. Trump having coattails than they are that he’ll destroy democracy.
“David Valadao turned his back on President Trump and the whole MAGA movement,” says a new TV spot running in California’s 22nd district. The ad cites the five-term Congressman’s vote to impeach Mr. Trump in early 2021 and runs a clip of him saying, “We don’t need President Trump.” The ad concludes: “With a record like that, who needs David Valadao?”
You can understand why House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Nancy Pelosi don’t want their fingerprints on the ad since they might look, well, hypocritical lambasting a Republican for standing against a man they say is America’s Hitler.
Mrs. Pelosi recently said she agreed with retired Gen. Mark Milley’s characterization of the former President as a fascist. But if she and other Democrats really believed this, Democratic candidates wouldn’t be running ads that associate themselves with Mr. Trump.
