On President Trump’s Leadership:

 

“[President Trump] is truly the leader. He is doing an exceptional job. Next year we're going to have a brand new conservative field of MAGA warriors, and we're going to be able to push some of these things that have been stuck, like the SAVE America Act, which needs to pass and others.”

 

On the Texas Senate Race:

 

“Texas is a Republican state. We're going to win, Paxton is a MAGA warrior. There's no question, no doubt in our minds that he's the right guy and that he is going to be successful in November.”

 

“I call him Tala-freak-o because listen, this is a guy who wants to have a welcome mat on the southern border, he said that. He also wants to gut the police. Think of all the law and order and the toxic poison that has been flowing through our southern border killing our kids all across the country. This president put a stop to it. Tala-freak-o wants to continue on.”

 

On President Trump Being a Key Force for Voter Turnout:

 

“We have a President that's been able to turn out these low propensity voters three different times. He will deliver for us this November. We have a couple of races that are going to be super tight, and we're going to use the President. We're going to barnstorm the country. We're going to showcase these candidates. We're going to showcase the messaging that the President has given us, and we're going to make sure all the Americans know where.”
