REPUBLICANS WHOSE RACES WILL DECIDE CONTROL OF CONGRESS RALLY TO TRUMP


TRUMP ADVISER SAYS HOGAN ‘ENDED’ HIS CAMPAIGN BY URGING RESPECT FOR RULE OF LAW

Former two-term Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, whose decision to run for Senate was
seen as giving Republicans a real shot at flipping a blue-state seat, reacted to
Donald Trump’s guilty verdict Thursday by calling for respect for the rule of
law and urging people not to “pour fuel on the fire with more toxic
partisanship.”

Trump’s senior campaign adviser, Chris LaCivita, responded on X, formerly
Twitter, with a blowtorch: “You just ended your campaign.”

Democrats said the verdict would force Republicans to have to answer for Trump’s
wrongdoing. But aside from Hogan, many candidates whose races will decide
control of the next Congress were almost in a drive to outdo themselves in
declaring their outrage at the verdict and support for Trump.



And Trump’s supporters also seemed primed to react: The payment platform for
donations to Republican candidates, WinRed, crashed. Former Rep. Lee Zeldin said
someone just donated $800,000 to Trump’s joint fundraising committee. 

Tim Sheehy, the likely Republican nominee for Senate in Montana, released a
Trumpian statement, tying Democratic Sen. Jon Tester to the team that brought
the case against Trump.

“RIGGED! New York v. Donald Trump is state-sponsored political persecution led
by the Party of Joe Biden and Jon Tester. WE THE PEOPLE stand with PRESIDENT
TRUMP!” Sheehy said.

In the same vein, Bernie Moreno, the Republican vying to oust Sen. Sherrod Brown
in Ohio charged that “Biden and his leftwing allies engaged in election
interference.”

Former Rep. Mike Rogers, a Republican who is running for Senate in Michigan,
predicted Trump would be cleared on appeal, but warned about “long-term damage”
done by “Joe Biden and his allies’ reckless weaponization of our nation’s
justice system.”



“It’s been clear that these charges were politically motivated from the
beginning, and while thankfully our system of justice doesn’t place all of the
power in rabidly-partisan district attorneys, this rigged trial and un-American
persecution of President Trump is an indelible stain on our nation,” Rogers
said.

House Majority PAC, a super PAC aligned with the Democratic leadership, said
that GOP candidates were “standing with a convicted criminal” and “it will cost
them the House.”

But some New York Republicans who represent districts that President Joe Biden
would have won four years ago attacked Democrats in the state, including
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the charges.

“Convicting a former President on what amounts to a campaign finance violation
in state court after the Federal Election Commission and The Department of
Justice both opted not to pursue these same charges tells you all you need to
know,” Rep. Mike Lawler said in a statement. “This is a sad day for America.”

Rep. Nick LaLota, who represents a district on Long Island that would have voted
for Biden by 8 percentage points according to Inside Elections, said on X that
Trump’s fate should be “decided by voters, not overzealous politically motivated
prosecutors and an imbalanced jury.”



“The best way to unwind Alvin Bragg’s political prosecution and today’s
conviction is for Governor Hochul to immediately announce her intention to
pardon President Trump and pre-emptively commute any sentence,” LaLota said. 

Rep. Marc Molinaro, another New Yorker, questioned moving politics from the
campaign trail to the courthouse. 

“This is a perversion of our justice system,” he said, echoing other
Republicans. “The leading contender for the presidency doesn’t belong behind
bars. It’s disgraceful, unprecedented, and bad for democracy.” 

Republicans weren’t the only ones using the verdict to score political points.

In a battleground open seat in Southern California, Democrat Dave Min, a law
professor, issued a statement saying his Republican opponent, Scott Baugh, “is
now officially supporting a convicted felon.”

Also in California, Democrat Will Rollins, a former prosecutor, hammered his
Trump-backing Republican opponent, Rep. Ken Calvert. “We deserve a
representative who cares more about the 750,000 of us in Riverside County than
one convicted felon in New York,” Rollins wrote on X.
