Fresh off their staggering electoral losses this month, Republicans are urging President Donald Trump to start hitting the campaign trail for them next year with control of Congress on the line. And in a sign of their rising anxiety over Democrats' renewed enthusiasm, the requests for rallies have started rolling in. By comparison, Trump largely avoided campaigning for Republicans in this month's off-cycle elections, later blaming poor candidate quality for the party's withering defeats. He avoided showing up in New Jersey, where GOP gubernatorial contender Jack Ciattarelli was projected to lose by a slim margin and ended up getting routed by double digits. He never uttered the name of the Virginia Republican candidate for governor, who lost by nearly 16 points.
