New York is one of the bluest of states in the United States when it comes to elections but in this presidential election former President Donald Trump has a legitimate chance of taking the Empire State.
The former president has narrowed the gap between himself and President Joe Biden in New York to a razor thin 10 points and Kellyanne Conway, speaking to Fox News host Larry Kudlow, explained why.
“What is going on is that Trump is actually expanding His coalition, core constituency, looks, feels different, larger and more diverse than in the past, 2016 and 2020, why, Larry? It includes more union households than 2016 when that helped us win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Ohio. It includes more Hispanics and African-Americans. It includes more women. Excuse me, he beat the queen bee herself, the would-be first woman president, while the majority of the voters were female. We’ve been the majority of the electorate since 1964. Even if he gets 4% more, 3% more,” the former counselor to the president said.
“That New York Times/Sienna poll showing Biden leading Trump in New York by 10 points, where Biden won by 23 last time. If it is half right, Biden is in trouble,” she said.
“See what Trump’s doing. He is doing something Joe Biden can’t do. Joe Biden can’t command a crowd. He can’t, he’s just low energy, no excitement whenever he shows up somewhere. What is ironic, is this is the way Democrats like Barack Obama, particularly Bill Clinton, even Jimmy Carter at the time all over Iowa would go through the crowd, and shake hands with people directly. It’s been Trump at his rallies on the dais, with the teleprompter, above the people,” she said to the host.
“I’m one small person, people run up to me from all places, all spaces, many different faces, tell him we’re for him 100%. Some people say I didn’t vote for him before but things are so bad, Biden is a real gift to Trump. I think also ironically although he is stuck in the courtroom all day, he is on message. He is projecting strength, resilience, and perseverance, these great American qualities, but he is the guy with better plan on inflation economy. Not hike your taxes. Not do 44% cap gains tax. Many people predicted Trump would be king of debt. He is the king of growth,” she said.
