Arizona governor says people are ‘sick of politics’
“These political seasons are way too long,” the Republican governor said when asked if he wants President Trump to come to Arizona to campaign with him. “We’re going to be focusing on our day job and the holidays.”
The New York Times reports the question of the president’s role in the 2018 election was a topic of discussion at the meeting of the Republican Governors Association earlier this month in Austin, Texas.
Ducey did not attend. But some who were there were concerned about negative feelings about Trump spilling over into their own races.
For example, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan told a Times reporter that it was “pretty safe” he would work to keep the president out of his state.
By contrast, Maine Gov. Paul LePage said Republicans should “absolutely” campaign with the president.
