Put Trump on the ballot in '22? No thanks, some Dems say

Instead, those Democrats are eager to deploy a policy-heavy playbook to help stave off a potential midterm whipping — and are careful to avoid putting Trumpism on the ballot next November, too. “The former president is now a private citizen, and it appears our justice system is handling whatever potential misdeeds he may or may not have committed,” said Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.), among roughly three dozen endangered Democrats who will need to win in order for their party to keep the House. “Trump is a Republican problem and a Republican cancer that they need to cut out of their party,” she added. “But that’s their problem.”
