View highlights from the interview below.
On President Trump Standing Strong With Israel: “Well, we’re seeing a political realignment, Harris, and whether it’s the increase in votes and support among African American voters, Latino voters, or Jewish voters. And if you look at the stakes, under President Trump, we had peace in the Middle East. You had the strongest President to stand with Israel ever in our nation’s history and the Abraham Accords: the biggest breakthrough for peace normalization in over a quarter of a century. Compare that to where we are today. Just over one year ago, you had the Iranian-backed Hamas terrorist attack against Israel. You’ve had direct attacks from Iran, from Iranian homeland, into Israel. This is really unprecedented chaos and catastrophe. So people are paying attention to these national security issues. And what we saw on college campuses with the skyrocketing of antisemitism and the failure of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to condemn that and show strong moral leadership. Compared to President Trump who put it in an executive order to expand Title VI protections for Jewish students. We know that President Trump is going to combat antisemitism on day one and hold those higher education institutions accountable. Obviously the voters know that as well.”
On Holding the House Republican Majority: “Well, I am optimistic that we will pick up seats in the House. And here is why: if you look at President Trump’s performance in carrying Senate candidates over the line, there is no modern day candidate of either party who turns out voters more effectively than President Trump. So we feel very optimistic that we’re going to pick up seats. I’m watching the Maine seat where President Trump did very well. Michigan, we picked up a seat. Obviously we’re looking at some of these California seats where President Trump is running 10 to 15 points ahead of where he did in 2020. And I think if you look at the overall atmospherics, Harris, you’ll see that every single county in America, President Trump did better than he did in 2020, and Kamala Harris underperformed where Joe Biden was in 2020. So this is a surge, and the fact that he won the popular vote is extraordinary and a testament to the American people rallied around his America First vision.”
On President Trump Understanding the Issues That Matter to the American People: “And President Trump leaned in. Remember, the mainstream media smeared him for having that Madison Square Garden rally, for campaigning on Long Island, in the Bronx, and that paid off. President Trump understood that what is happening in this country, whether it’s the crime crisis, the inflation crisis, the border crisis which is not just impacting the states along our Southern Border, it’s impacting all of these Blue states that have sanctuary cities policies. He hit a nerve in terms of understanding the American people are fed up with single party Democrat rule that you have in these traditionally Blue states. That’s why you see him perform in states like New York. The strongest Republican presidential candidate since Ronald Reagan. So this is a real political realignment, and it’s a tectonic shift. The Democrats’ failed policies and their radicalization, whether it’s defund the police, woke DEI agenda in our schools. That’s not where the vast majority of the American people are. President Trump understood that, and he did well in all these states for a reason.” |
