First tell me how your day was. I’m guessing it was hectic because we were scheduled to speak a few hours ago.
Well, the president is on the road, and there are only around 50 days left to the election, so every day is going to be an exciting one.
This is your third Trump campaign.
Yes. I worked with President Trump in 2016 and 2020, and now I’m back for 2024. You can’t do the first two and then sit out the third one, especially given the direction the country is headed. President Trump is a great man and a great leader, and we need him back in the White House.
Which of the three campaigns did you find most challenging?
Ever since President Trump came down the escalator in 2015 [to announce his candidacy], the establishment/deep state forces have tried to stop him. Everyone saw what they did, spying on his campaign in 2016 and weaponizing the intelligence agencies against him. Then after he was in the White House there was the Mueller-Russia hoax, the social media manipulation, and the way the voting laws were unconstitutionally changed in 2020. This time around, we’ve seen the Biden-Harris administration weaponize the justice system to go after their leading opponent in numerous jurisdictions. He did very well in his first debate against Joe Biden. In fact, he did so well that he knocked a sitting president out of the race, and the Democrats had to swap out Biden for Kamala Harris. President Trump even survived an assassination attempt. I don’t know what other crazy thing might still pop up this year, but if there was ever a year for them to pull out all the stops, it’s clearly this one.
You started out against one candidate, but they changed horses in midstream, so now you’re up against a different one. It must be a very wild time for you and your team.
Now that they’ve switched to Kamala Harris, it’s even more important that we win, as we have never had anyone this extreme run for president in our nation’s history. The way she picked a running mate to try to appease the Hamas caucus within the Democrat Party shows just what kind of a radical leader she would be if elected. From all appearances, it seems that she has been running the show for quite some time and covering up for Joe Biden, but I think it would be devastating for Israel and even for Jewish Americans if Kamala Harris were to become president.
Were you caught off guard when they switched candidates?
We were prepared for anything. The only thing that might have surprised us was the timing, because at the beginning of that weekend Biden insisted he was staying, and at the end of the weekend he suddenly said, “I’m out. There goes my 50-year career.” But we were certainly ready. The research and the testing were already done and the ads were completely ready to roll, but they sure did Joe Biden dirty on that.
In last week’s debate, Kamala Harris didn’t seem to have done a good job of responding to the questions. She just kept repeating her talking points and sounded way too overprepared, but she was able to hold her own against President Trump. What was your take on that?
If you look at the focus groups of undecided voters, they overwhelmingly broke in favor of President Trump. We saw the anecdotal polls that were written up by The New York Times, Reuters and the BBC, but we also saw polling from the Daily Express on behalf of the Democracy Institute, which showed that Trump won the debate by approximately ten points. We’ve even seen that the independents who were watching the debate very closely agreed with President Trump on all the issues.
The media have a reason to go all in for Kamala Harris, even after years of Biden staffers in the White House planting negative story after negative story about her. After the media said that Joe Biden had to leave, they were hoping the field would open up and lead to a mini primary. They were hoping that Josh Shapiro, Gretchen Whitmer or someone like that would step up to make a play for the nomination, but when that faltered and the only person left standing was Kamala Harris, they had to suddenly embrace her just to try to save face. So the media got stuck with her, and now they’re putting an artificial halo over her head. We saw that with the small bump in the polls after becoming the nominee, but that has since crested because the voters looked at her and saw zero substance, and the little substance they do see is radical left. Of course, the same people who told us for three and a half years that Joe Biden was fine and then that Kamala Harris was the best thing since sliced bread are now going to say that she outperformed Trump in the debate.
