Trump 'baby blimp' going to Washington state for Pence visit
An inflatable blimp bearing a resemblance to President Trump is heading to Spokane, Wash., next week for a visit by Vice President Pence.
One of several Trump "baby blimps" will appear in Washington state for several hours near a campaign event Tuesday for Rep. Cathy McMorris-Rodgers's (R-Wash.) reelection bid that Pence is headlining, according to the Spokesman Review.
The blimp is being flown on behalf of Backbone Campaign, a local Democratic-aligned group supporting the congresswoman's Democratic opponent, Lisa Brown, according to the group's Facebook page.
Washington's 5th District, which McMorris-Rodgers has represented since 2005, is rated as "lean Republican" by the nonpartisan election handicappers at the Cook Political Report.
