Democratic candidates in 'blue wall' states have been careful about criticizing Trump during debates.

They have focused on policy and their own records without taking many shots against the Republican nominee.

Pennsylvania incumbent Sen. Bob Casey , D, has even embraced Trump ’s tariff policies.

In Wisconsin , Sen. Tammy Baldwin ignored President Biden and Harris , and made only a passing reference to Trump in her one debate appearance Friday .

Democratic Senate candidate Elissa Slotkin has sounded like a Republican at times, talking about her home on a “dirt road’s where no electric vehicle would dare go.

She has flashed Trumpian rhetoric about how Japan and South Korea “ate our lunch” in the 1980s by being a step ahead of U.S. automakers in promoting fuel-efficient vehicles.

Baldwin insisted she “fights for Wisconsin and only Wisconsin ”.
