“‘I think the President of the United States is our secret weapon... He's laser focused,’ Gruters touted in a national digital exclusive sit-down interview with Fox News.

“Pointing to Trump's unprecedented agenda during his first year back in the White House, Gruters argued, ‘I think it's going to pay huge dividends across the board, whether you're running for governor, Senate, House, or whether you're running for a local seat…’

“Gruters noted that Trump's made stops in recent weeks in three key midterm election battlegrounds and said that the president's ‘going to barnstorm the country with our candidates.’

“The RNC chair also spotlighted the party's formidable fundraising advantage over the rival Democratic National Committee (DNC), noting that ‘we're raising a ton of money.’

“But he cautioned: ‘We got to do everything right. We got to make sure we turn our voters out, and we got to make sure that we have people energized. And there's nobody that can energize our base more than President Trump.’

“Gruters…also argued that ‘there's been nobody that's been more focused on affordability than President Trump. Look at gas prices, the lowest prices since 2021. Look at egg prices, real pocketbook issues that impact everyday Americans the president is focused on, and he's not done...’

“‘I will tell you that people are very excited about filing their taxes this year. This should be some of the biggest refunds that anybody has gotten,’ he said…

“Gruters, promoting Trump's agenda, told Fox News Digital that from ‘an affordability standpoint, I think we win hands down based on the polices this president has pushed...’"
