On the Socialist Takeover of the Democrat Party:
"American voters are scared of what…Bernie Sanders, AOC, Mamdani, and all these radical leftists and what they're trying to do to the country... They want to eliminate ICE. They want to open borders. They want to get rid of criminal penalties for everything. They want to get rid of the American Dream."
"People realize that this type of government has failed in Havana and Caracas and Moscow, and despair and misery follow... I think it will be an anchor around the Democrat Party's neck."
On President Trump’s Approval Rating:
"The President's beloved by the base. As a matter of fact, the reason why we're going to win in November is because the president's still super popular, probably the most popular president in the history of the country within our base. He's the one person we know who can deliver these low propensity voters. That's why we're having this Midterm Convention for the first time ever. It's going to be a Trump-a-palooza."
On President Trump Fighting for American Families:
"People forget that Biden led us to much higher inflation, higher gas prices, and [President Trump] from day one has been working on getting these things under control...The Working Families Tax Cuts, no tax on tips and overtime, has had a big impact across this country. [President Trump] has been working at 19 trillion dollars worth of investments... [President Trump] has gone to work for the American worker. That's what the Republican Party is. We are the working person's party now. He has a lot of empathy for people that are paying these high gas prices, and he is doing everything he can to get these prices down."
On Republicans’ Midterm Confidence:
"I think we're going to hold the majorities in both the House and the Senate. I'm very optimistic because people know that common sense and the hope that you can achieve the American Dream is 1,000 times better than the misery and despair in the direction that the Democrats want to take us with these socialist-type policies."
