Republican candidates who did not attend the mid-term convention "think that a message centered on Donald Trump is not beneficial for them"

Republican candidates are avoiding participating in party conventions in Texas, which according to CNN Portugal may indicate a strategy of distance in relation to Donald Trump. Luís Costa Ribas, CNN Portugal correspondent in the United States, is in Dallas, in the state of Texas, to follow a Republican Party convention dedicated to the November midterm elections. The journalistic coverage suggests that these absent candidates consider that a message centered on Donald Trump is not beneficial for their electoral campaigns. This strategic distancing occurs at a time when the party faces the need to mobilize voters for the midterm elections.
