On The RNC’s Historic War Chest:

 

“For the last three months, we've had the most cash-on-hand in the history of the party. We're sitting on about 125 million. The DNC has minus four million. When you look at the coordinated campaign lawsuit that's at the Supreme Court… that will double or triple. That's the case that nobody's talking about that will have the biggest impact, not only on this cycle, but cycles moving forward.”

  

On The Midterm Convention:

 

“You combine that with the financial resource advantage that we have and then go to the fact that the President's providing all these incredible ideas. The messaging would be great from them in combined with the fact that he's the best showman that's ever lived in our party. He's going to go out there. We're going to do things like the Trump-a-palooza, I call that the midterm convention. We're going to use that, then we're going to go barnstorm the country, go district to district.”

  

On The RNC’s Blockbuster Supreme Court Case, Watson v. RNC:

 

“One thing that [the RNC has] done well over the last couple of cycles. After 2020, the Party put me in charge of election integrity for the whole country to find out what's going wrong, to make sure it never happens again. Laura Trump and Michael Whatley in the last cycle really elevated our game. It's what our focus has been is to bring the hammer coast to coast.”

  

“That second case that's going to come out… is the Watson versus the RNC. If you're sitting at home and watching what's happening in California still counting ballots after three weeks. It should make you sick. We're going to stop that once and for all. 13 states and the District of Columbia allow ballots to be counted after Election Day. Election Day should mean exactly what it says, Election Day. We're going to stop that.”
