Democratic candidates running in red states and hoping to flip districts are warning against \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome,\u201d the president\u2019s and his supporters\u2019 name for reflexive anti-Trump sentiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cArguing about Donald Trump, somebody people voted for probably three times, isn\u2019t going to be very conducive to getting things accomplished or reaching some common ground,\u201d Kansas farmer and veterinarian Don Coover, challenging an incumbent GOP congressman in a deep-red district, told Bloomberg Government. Coover \u201csaid his party has to dial back the national rhetoric if it wants to compete in Trump-friendly places.\u201d<\/p>\n

Andrew Sneed, who is challenging a GOP incumbent congressman in a deep red Alabama district, told Bloomberg, \u201cIf we make this election about President Trump in my district and in districts like this around the country, we\u2019re going to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democrats hope to retake the House majority, and have targeted 25 GOP-held seats.<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-NY) urged Democrats to focus on the issues, such as affordability, and not on Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s less about him than the fact that he\u2019s not paying attention to the issue of affordability,\u201d Suozzi told Bloomberg. \u201cIt\u2019s not about Trump. It\u2019s not about Trump derangement syndrome, and it\u2019s not about his sometimes interesting behavior. It\u2019s about policies that affect peoples\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Laura Gillen, a vulnerable New York Democrat who is being targeted by the House GOP\u2019s campaign arm, \u201csaid she is focused on touting her bipartisan work across the aisle, keeping Trump\u2019s name at bay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy messaging has been focused on what I am doing to try and make life more affordable,\u201d Gillen told Bloomberg. \u201cI ran for Congress and said I\u2019d work with anyone from any party to get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some warn that campaigning against Trump directly could backfire, especially should the president\u2019s low approval numbers rebound.<\/p>\n

Bloomberg notes that Republicans are targeting 29 Democrats, including 23 incumbents who represent voters in districts Trump won.<\/p>\n

Democratic incumbents and candidates have stated their messaging plainly. The Republican National Committee is accusing them of \u201cTDS.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVoters want secure borders, lower prices, safer communities, and a strong economy, not Trump Derangement Syndrome,\u201d RNC spokesperson Kiersten Pels said in a statement. \u201cAmericans are seeing through the Democrats\u2019 tired strategy of attacking and vilifying President Trump and his supporters.\u201d<\/p>\n
