View highlights from the interview below.
On the Republican Party Growing Under President Trump: “Well, first of all, the data points to that President Trump is doing better with women than Kamala Harris is doing with men. And what’s really important is that under President Trump, today’s Republican Party has grown tremendously. Look at the historic support among African American voters. Look at the historic support among Latino voters, working class voters, union voters. These are voters that are part of demographic groups that previously the Democrat Party thought they had or entitled to. President Trump has earned their support, and I believe that you’re going to see working class women turn out in support of President Trump because of his effective policies. Women under President Trump’s economy: there was more women in the workforce than ever before. We had the highest wage and salary increase ever in our nation’s history under President Trump. And look at what’s happened under Kamala Harris: the inflation crisis, the border crisis. Those are top of the mind for women and men voters across the country.”
On Women Supporting President Trump: “Look, Nikki Haley wrote the op-ed about why she’s supporting President Trump. And the reality is you have women crisscrossing the country whether it is Tulsi Gabbard–previously a registered Democrat, female Member of Congress–Sarah Huckabee Sanders, myself, Kristi Noem. You have senior women who have run his campaign like Susie Wiles. Kellyanne Conway did in 2016. You have senior-level people around President Trump. And what I think has been a disgrace in the final chapter is you had Kamala Harris’ top ally, Mark Cuban, smear the women around President Trump saying he does not surround himself with smart, strong, intelligent women. The reality is there are smart, intelligent, strong women across this country who are not only campaigning with President Trump at the most senior levels but that are voting for him. So, you know, certainly, we can talk about that after the election cycle. But the reality is you have women crisscrossing this country working to get out the vote for President Trump. And the most important message I want to give to voters today is get out and vote. It is We the People that will determine the outcome of this election. We the People need to save America and vote Trump tomorrow.”
On President Trump Leading Republicans to Victory on Election Day: “So I think President Trump is going to have tremendous coattails, and House Republicans are going to over perform just like we did in 2016 and 2020, the last two times that President Trump was on the ballot. You point out a really important trend in that both California and New York are traditionally viewed as blue states, but people are experiencing the double whammy of failed policies of Kamala Harris with state policies that are horrific by Democrat governors. That’s why you saw flipped seats in New York. We flipped five seats in the midterms, and in every single district in New York and every swing district across the country, Kamala Harris is underperforming Joe Biden’s 2020 numbers. And I will give you an example. If you look at one of the top targeted seats in New York, a district that Joe Biden won by 15 points, President Trump is ahead by two points today. That is a 17 point swing, so we are very optimistic that so goes the presidency, will go the House. And President Trump is the most effective candidate ever in modern history of either party in turning out votes. So I believe that we will pick up seats this election cycle: Alaska, Maine, we’re going to hold the New York seats. We’ll pick up four in North Carolina as well as seats in Michigan, Texas, and elsewhere.” |
