As further evidence that vulnerable California Republicans Jeff Denham, David Valadao, and Steve Knight will be inseparably tied to Donald Trump this November, news broke today that House Republicans will be meeting with Trump’s team every week to craft a joint agenda. According to CNN, there will be “weekly meetings Trump campaign officials are holding with House Republicans.”
This joint agenda is further proof that the vulnerable California Republicans will own the divisive priorities and offensive policies that Trump promotes between now and Election Day, even though they will undoubtedly turn off Latinos, African Americans, women and other voters whose support they need in their swing districts.
Denham, Valadao, and Knight are on the Trump ticket and no political games or linguistic gymnastics will change that.
“The development of a joint Trump-House Republican agenda further reinforces that Denham, Valadao, and Knight will be inseparably tied to Donald Trump. They must answer for their party’s frontrunner, his policies, and deal with his toxic numbers with key groups of voters every day between now and November,” said Barb Solish of the DCCC.
