Asked during election night coverage on Super Tuesday how President Trump could win over undecided voters, Graham said, “What President Trump will do at the border, energy independence. , and I think it draws a contrast between keeping us safe.” .
Mr. Graham, a staunch ally of Mr. Trump, said that the Trump campaign is trying to “make sure people who are wondering who to vote for have enough information about how bad the situation is and what Mr. Trump will do to fix it.” He said that he believed it was necessary to “provide relevant information.”
“So I think policy contrast is the key to getting these people back on board,” he said.
Graham dismissed the possibility of losing Haley voters, saying Bash “doesn’t think Donald Trump is the right person to be president for a variety of reasons.”
“If you don’t think he’s the right person, you’re going to have to vote for Biden,” Graham said.
Bash specifically noted that while Haley is a strong candidate, she still averages about 30 percent of the Republican vote. He also pointed to exit polls showing 78% of Haley supporters do not intend to vote for the Republican candidate in November.
“All I can say is that I think policy contests are the best way to secure people who are in a nightmare situation at the border. There’s a way to fix it. Trump would do it. You know, we have to become energy independent again,” Graham said, adding that issues such as inflation and personal safety “I think are in Trump’s favor. ” he added.
