Trump's "communist" midterm message
President Trump is using the rise of democratic socialists in New York as a central message for the midterms, claiming communists are taking over the Democratic Party and threatening traditional American values. Faith & Freedom Coalition leader Ralph Reed endorsed Trump's rhetoric as a GOP strategy, though he acknowledged a significant enthusiasm gap between Democrats and Republicans.
