WASHINGTON — The White House has a message for vulnerable House Republicans tiptoeing around President Donald Trump: Get on board or start packing. It also previews some of Trump’s upcoming travel just as White House officials are eagerly noting the president’s efforts to help beleaguered House candidates, not just contenders in more prominent Senate races. But the White House memo argues that public perceptions about whether the country is on the right track temper the probability of a Democratic wave. Republicans who don’t talk about Trump or his accomplishments, the White House warns, will make a tough situation a whole lot tougher. Trump will campaign Thursday for Republican Rep. Jason Lewis of Minnesota, who invited Trump to appear on his behalf.
