In a candid conversation with Joe Pags, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) offered his thoughts on the upcoming election, the state of the Trump campaign, and his concerns about election integrity in key battleground states. Jackson, a vocal supporter of Trump, predicted strong support for the former president, especially if “it’s a fair race.”
Discussing Trump’s recent rallies, Jackson highlighted what he sees as building momentum. “He’s already won this in my mind,” Jackson said, though he expressed concerns about mail-in ballots and ballot harvesting, particularly in states like Pennsylvania. He pointed to issues he believes have compromised election integrity in past elections and warned that election processes could be manipulated again. “They are just hardwired for fraud,” he added, voicing skepticism about the vote-counting process in certain states.
Pags and Jackson also discussed the long lines of early voters, a trend that Jackson considers encouraging for the Trump campaign. He noted that it’s a positive sign for Republicans and conservatives, groups that traditionally favor Election Day voting. “I think that’s encouraging,” he said, attributing the shift to Trump’s call for supporters to vote in numbers “too big to rig.”
The conversation also shifted to Vice President Kamala Harris’s recent campaign appearances. Jackson critiqued Harris’s efforts to engage voters through high-profile events, describing these moves as strategies to garner enthusiasm. He also expressed concerns about her preparedness for leadership, particularly in light of her proximity to the presidency.
In closing, Jackson urged voters to stay engaged and vigilant about their votes. He underscored the importance of high turnout, expressing confidence that strong support for Trump could overcome obstacles he believes are present in the voting systems of certain states.
