A Georgia lawmaker believes Vice President Pence could play an influential role in the 2018 midterm elections, where Republicans aim to hold onto their majorities in both the House and Senate despite President Trump's unpopularity.

Pence “will be extremely involved in the ‘18 election season, and he’ll be an extremely effective participant," Sen. Steven Perdue (R-Ga.) told the Wall Street Journal.

Republican strategists told the journal that Pence could help the GOP campaign in states where GOP candidates face difficult primary challengers. Such candidates could use the aid of a top White House official who could hold effective campaign events for candidates who may prefer Pence to the more polarizing Trump.

Pence, who has begun raising campaign money for 2018 GOP candidates through his Great America political action committee, is a more experienced politician than the president. He served as Indiana governor before joining Trump's ticket.

If they sort of "replace" Trump with Pence on the campaign trail he will blow his shit. He loves it out there.
