Despite hiding under his desk, Scott Garrett’s nightmare has become reality
With Trump’s primary victory last night in Indiana, and Ted Cruz’s withdrawal from the presidential race, Scott Garrett now faces a nightmarish scenario this November: sharing the ticket with Donald Trump.
So far, Garrett hasn’t said a word about Trump. But no amount of hiding will protect Garrett from the reality that he will have to support and vote for Donald Trump for president.
“Now that Donald Trump is the presumptive nominee, vulnerable House Republican Scott Garrett should get the talking points ready for defending Trump and his dangerous views that insult women, trample on the Constitution and make America less safe,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC. “Garrett has been avoiding reality and evading the Trump topic, but no amount of distancing and side-stepping can change the fact that Garrett is on the Trump ticket and his party has paved the way for his nomination.”
