Feeley believes Arizonans have a chance to turn Republican again in the next presidential election after President Trump's loss to President Biden in 2020. But he has a message for the state's Republican voters ahead of November.
“There are over 200,000 Republicans in Arizona who did not vote in the last presidential election. If half of them voted, then only half of the Republicans in Arizona would vote. [Trump] “We won Arizona! And this is every battleground state, so if you're a registered Republican, just go out and vote for Donald Trump. I don't understand why you wouldn't do that because the gap between the parties has never been this wide,” Feeley said.

But beyond the election outcome, Feeley wants to see a cultural change in American politics.
“I think people should be able to talk about politics and who they like without getting stones thrown at them or, 'Oh, I'm going to cancel someone,'” Feeley said. “If you're a liberal and you believe in certain politicians, you should be able to talk about that and express your beliefs. If you like Trump, you should be able to express your beliefs.”
“Hopefully I can get back to that state again someday.”
