Chip in today to elect Dem govs across the country >>
Democratic governors are leading the fight against Donald Trump and his administration – and they need your help. Trump and his allies have hundreds of millions of dollars to attack our candidates, and we have to make sure we’ve got the resources to fight back. With 36 races on the map this November, 80% of Americans will cast their vote for their next governor. We need to invest NOW to expand our map, win in battleground states, protect our blue firewall of Dem govs, and flip critical states from red to blue. Can Dem govs count on you to chip in right now?
WaPo: Gillespie “Visibly Irritated” by Trump Questions
Ed Gillespie, who has been walking a Trump tightrope across Virginia for months now, grew “visibly irritated” during a recent interview when asked about his attempts to appeal to Trump supporters in a state where the President himself is toxic.
The Washington Post reported:
Gillespie, in an interview, brushed off questions about navigating the GOP’s breach and was visibly irritated when asked about Trump.
… That afternoon, Gillespie was at his campaign headquarters desk, bristling as he faced more questions about Trump.
No, he didn’t know the president would endorse him.
No, he had not asked for Trump’s blessing.
“Can we go off the record?” Gillespie asked before saying, “I’m not going to talk about this.”
“It’s no wonder the Trump situation is ‘irritating’ Gillespie—his absurd triangulations aren’t fooling anyone,” said DGA Communications Director Jared Leopold. “Ed Gillespie should stop these ridiculous games and just admit to voters that he is Donald Trump’s endorsed candidate for Governor.”
