Desperation is setting in among vulnerable Democrats as Election Day creeps closer, and their latest strategy reeks of panic. In a bizarre twist of fate, these aging incumbents are increasingly using former President Donald Trump in their campaign ads, trying to portray themselves as cozying up to the man they once vilified. This sudden admiration for Trump raises eyebrows—both because it’s politically convenient and because it hints at just how toxic their campaigns have become. The irony of Democrats using Trump’s name as a shield while dodging accountability for their own records isn’t lost on anyone who can still think straight.
The former President didn’t hold back, delivering a blistering assessment of the situation via Truth Social. He pointed out that Democrats like Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey Jr. are grasping at straws as their re-election bids spiral downward. Instead of sticking to their own platforms, they are shamelessly trying to leverage Trump’s policies—tariffs, for example—while pretending to be on the same team. In all of his glory, Trump underlined that these incumbents have voted with President Biden almost 100% of the time, implying they are about as reliable as wet cardboard in a rainstorm. The moral of the story? Don’t get too comfortable, Democrats; you’re up against candidates who truly stand with Trump.

The tricky game these Democrats are playing has apparently backfired. Even with some ads banking on the Trump factor, the Cook Political Report recently laid out some shocking news: Casey’s race now sits in the “Toss-Up” category. Voters seem to prefer sincerity and consistency—qualities that are in short supply among those who exploit Trump’s legacy while simultaneously branding him a threat to democracy. The Trump War Room is gearing up, rolling out a barrage of content that highlights just how hypocritical Casey and company are, calling out his contradictory statements and revealing the Democratic double standard for all to see.
Polling data reveals that Casey is barely ahead of Republican challenger Dave McCormick, winning by a slim 1.9 points—a number that can vanish faster than a liberal’s talking points in a debate. Meanwhile, Bernie Moreno in Ohio is closing in on Sherrod Brown, while Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin is also in a “Toss-Up” situation. The Democrats, who once insisted they were the beacon of progress and civility, now find themselves fighting tooth and nail to cling to their seats. It’s almost poetic justice to see their well-laid plans unravel in the face of declining public trust.
In Nevada, Jacky Rosen holds a slightly more secure lead at 5.3 points, but that hardly counts as good news when most races across the board are too close to call. It’s clear that with Trump’s popularity still resonating with many Americans, these Republican candidates stand to gain an advantage from his coattails. As exhibited in states like Ohio, it’s no longer just about the usual GOP vs. Dem dynamic; rather, it’s about convincing voters that authenticity and loyalty matter. And as the Democrats struggle to align their policies with the American ethos and distract from their records, they will learn that trying to use Trump as a lifeline just might sink their ship instead.
