Republican strategist Doug Heye says Trump's uncontrolled behavior is a liability for Republicans, guaranteeing they can't focus on key issues to win, with Heye stating "He's a one-man wrecking ball" who "can't help himself."
Trump's recent racist social media post, which depicted former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as primates, drew bipartisan condemnation and was eventually removed from his Truth Social account, with Senator Tim Scott and other Republicans denouncing the post.
Republicans in competitive 2026 races, such as Senator Susan Collins, are struggling to distance themselves from Trump's controversies, with Collins condemning the racist post but facing criticism for her earlier appearance at a White House bill-signing ceremony, where she was seen wearing a red hat resembling Trump's campaign merchandise.
