On the Republican Midterm Convention:

 

"If we're going to win, we have to do things differently. No party has ever done this before. This was the president's idea. I think we could have a Trump-a-palooza to highlight all the amazing, incredible things that he's done, and then push that forward and talk about what he's going to do over the next two years. When we have the MAGA warriors in place to pass his agenda, it's going to be an absolutely amazing event."

 

On President Trump Fighting for Americans' Best Interests:

 

“What [President Trump’s] done across the world is try to bring peace to strength, and he's trying to end these conflicts. I think there's eight different conflicts he's already resolved. He wants peace, but at the end of the day, it has to be in the best interest of America and Americans overall. I'm very confident that he's going to be able to do that and continue to work hard on our behalf.” 

 

"We support what the President's doing. We trust him and his administration to do what's in the best interest of Americans. I think that's always been his goal, and what he's doing, and obviously Iran can't fool around, and he's going to be, you know, he's doing his job as commander in chief to make sure that our interests are first and foremost."

 

On Lowering Costs for Families:

 

“When [President Trump] was elected, he went to bat for the American worker. He passed the Working Families Tax Cuts, where the no tax on tips, overtime, and Social Security. He’s doing everything humanly possible to drive down prices and to make sure that we are in a position long term so people can go out there and achieve the American Dream.”
