Republican candidates across key battleground states are working to create distance from Donald Trump ahead of the election. Among them, Paul LePage, the former Maine governor and early Trump-aligned figure, has been criticising the White House's immigration enforcement efforts. Commentators, including MAGA-aligned radio host Steve Deace, have reacted sharply, with one post describing the moment as one of the all-time election freakouts.

Why now: Republican candidates are visibly separating from Trump as the election approaches, fueling debate about the party's direction.
