With Republicans trailing in the polls, the party is making hard
choices about where to spend its money — abandoning some races
while pouring resources into others.

Shane Goldmacher, Nate Cohn and Lisa Lerer, political
correspondents for The New York Times, explain why President
Trump is campaigning almost daily in deep-red territory, how his
influence is shaping the strategy and whether Democrats can win
over the disenchanted voters they may need to take back the House
and the Senate.

Guests:

Shane Goldmacher, a national political
correspondent for The New York Times.

Nate Cohn, the chief political analyst for The
New York Times.

Lisa Lerer, a national political correspondent
for The New York Times.

Background reading:

Economic pain and an unpopular Trump have put the G.O.P. on
its heels.

incumbents.
