Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) said Sunday that President Trump was “clearly joking” when he urged Christian voters to vote for him in November’s election and said that if they did, “everything” would be “solved” and “there would be no need to vote anymore.”
“I think it’s clear that he’s joking about how bad things have been under Joe Biden’s administration and that he can turn the country around by putting President Trump back in the White House,” Cotton said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“And that’s something the American people know,” he continued. “Things were good during President Trump’s four years. Prices were stable, the economy was growing, and there was peace and stability in the world.”
Trump spoke at an event hosted by the conservative Christian group Turning Point Action on Friday, urging Christians to vote for him in November’s presidential election.
“You don’t have to vote anymore. Four more years and the problem will be solved and it will be gone. My beautiful Christian people, you won’t have to vote anymore,” Trump said Friday.
Democrats quickly seized on Trump’s comments, with many expressing concern about what steps he might take to influence the electoral process if he wins a second term.
Harris campaign spokesman James Singer responded to Trump’s comments in a statement, saying, “When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom, she means it. Our democracy is under attack by a criminal, Donald Trump.”
“After losing the last election, Trump sent in rioters to overturn the results,” he continued. “In this campaign, he is promising violence if he loses, an end to the election if he wins, and abolishing the Constitution to become a dictator who will implement his dangerous Project 2025 agenda in America.”
“Donald Trump is taking America backwards and leading us towards a reign of hatred, chaos and fear. This November, America will unite behind Vice President Kamala Harris and stop Trump,” he added.
New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R), a popular moderate who ran Nikki Haley’s campaign in the Republican primary, also downplayed the significance of Trump’s comments on Sunday.
Asked about Trump’s comments in an interview on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Sununu said, “Well, I guess that was classic Trumpism, I guess.”
“I think he’s just trying to make the case that this problem can be solved. Of course we want everyone to vote in every election. But I think he’s just trying to make this grandiose claim that he can solve it if he gets back into office. But that’s just typical Trump,” he added.
