‘The President is not popular’: GOP candidate cuts apparent AI prompt from website
The message urged staff to focus on local issues because Trump is unpopular, and a Reuters review found 41 of 62 competitive House races show similar distancing.
- Minnesota Republican Eric Pratt's campaign website briefly displayed an internal instruction to avoid mentioning President Donald Trump in the "Pratt Playbook" section, citing the president's unpopularity.
- Seeking to replace Democratic Rep. Angie Craig in Minnesota's 2nd District, Pratt, a state senator and former bank executive, faces a historically competitive seat that has trended toward Democrats.
- A social media user captured the instruction, which garnered over 500,000 views, and the Wayback Machine confirmed the text's authenticity, though Pratt's campaign has not commented on the matter.
- Democratic opponent Matt Little has criticized the move, previously teasing Pratt as "scared of daddy Trump" during campaign appearances and arguing he is hiding his alignment with the former president.
- According to a Reuters investigation, candidates in 41 of 62 competitive House races have broken with Trump, reflecting a broader GOP trend amid his record-low approval rating of 33 percent.
