According to a Washington Post report, former President Donald Trump's advisors are in talks with GOP campaigns to have the ex-commander-in-chief stump for candidates in October.
GOP strategists are taking a major gamble that Trump can juice party turnout without alienating the independent voters who will be crucial to the party's hopes this fall.
According to an advisor who spoke with The Post, Trump is going to appear at campaign rallies, as well as making calls and possibly participating in GOP events.
According to the report, the former president's political operation is looking to deploy him to areas where he is most popular, especially in rural areas.

After months of favoring GOP candidates, a recent Wall Street Journal poll shows Democrats with a small lead over independents.
For months, Republicans have sought to attack President Joe Biden over inflation, immigration, and the hasty US withdrawal from Afghanistan, but Trump taking center stage at GOP events may very well keep the party off-message.
According to a recent Washington Post report, some Democrats think they could possibly hold onto the lower chamber.
Trump attacked John Fetterman, the Democratic Senate nominee in Pennsylvania, as he took the stage with Mehmet Oz.
Trump argued that the upcoming elections would be a referendum on Biden's "extremism."
"Americans are hungry for the policies and leadership of the former president, and that will power GOP victories in November," Budowich told The Post.
A high-profile Republican told the Post that Trump is helpful to some people.
The individual told the newspaper that having the former president on the campaign trail could help the party win over key voters.
The Republicans don't win if they don't vote for Trump. It is the truth. The Republican said that they had to turn out the Trump voter and not turn them off.
Biden sought to use the former president's high-visibility as a foil, decrying those most closely associated to his predecessor as "extreme"
