On Defying Midterm Election
History:
"We're in great shape
in our effort to defy history. I think we have a real opportunity to do it, but
we need everybody to come together."
On Michigan and Maine Chaos:
"This is what happens
when you have Mamdani, Bernie Sanders, and AOC leading the party. You have to
believe what they say. They want open borders. They want amnesty for all. They
want no criminal penalties whatsoever. El Sayed is a disaster, and he's a
complete loser. I think at the end of the day, he'll be rejected. ...The fact
that [Bernie Sanders] is out there leading the charge on this guy's behalf
should scare everybody."
"[Troy Jackson] is just
a Graham Platner 2.0. I think he's a total loser. But these are the type of
candidates the left is putting up as your top candidates...But I think he's
even worse with women. The Maine Democrats, the party elitists, chose him
without a single primary vote being cast for him...They talk a lot about no
kings until they want to anoint a king themselves. It certainly didn't work for
Harris. It barely worked for Biden. It's not going to work for Troy Jackson in
Maine."
On the RNC's Record-Breaking
Resources:
"It comes down to
resources. Obviously, we have the most cash on hand in the history of the
party. Throughout modern history, Republicans have never spent more than the
Democrats. This cycle, we're going to do that."
On the Importance of Passing
the SAVE America Act:
"Democrats have been
united against [the SAVE America Act] because every single day they wake up and
try to figure out ways to lie, cheat, and cheat their way to election
victories. 80 percent of the people believe that it's common sense, and we should
require voter and proof of citizenship before they register to vote. It's the
Democrats that are united against this."
