Just remember folks, Shapiro should run on "Do you want to send your kid to a decent school/invest in sustainable infrastructure to weather future inflationary shocks" because "Do you want Trump back?" is NOT current a winning issue for PA Democrats.
I agree with the idea of running on economic issues instead of over-focusing on Trump, but I also think the degree to which focusing on Trump may be successful also depends on the degree to which Trump himself gets involved in any given race. For example, in last year's Virginia gubernatorial election, aside from endorsing the Republican nominee, Trump actually kept a relatively low profile for most of that contest, which negated the Democratic nominee's Trump-centric strategy - had Trump increased his involvement in that race, it might have tipped the race the other way. Likewise, for this year's contests (at all levels), if Trump were to inject himself heavily in any given race, that could have a direct effect on the likelihood of his candidates winning/losing, depending on his popularity in said state and/or district.
