The Republican National Committee Chairman, Michael Watley, discussed the increasing support for former President Trump among big tech investors during a recent interview. Watley attributed this shift to what he described as Joe Biden's 'relentless war on American businesses,' which has led to a more favorable view of Trump's pro-business policies.
Watley highlighted successful fundraising efforts, including a $12 million haul over a weekend and a $50 million event in Florida hosted by John Paulson. He noted growing support from business leaders in New York and other states who value a strong business environment.
Watley emphasized Trump's proactive approach, holding events in traditionally Democratic strongholds like New York, New Jersey, and California. He contrasted this with Biden's focus on shoring up support among his base and battleground states.
Regarding campaign organization, Watley outlined plans to focus on battleground states while leveraging Trump's direct communication with voters. He emphasized the importance of engaging rally attendees by registering them to vote and ensuring they have a voting plan.
When asked about a potential vice presidential nominee, Watley indicated that the decision would be made by Trump before the convention, likely between the interview date and July 15th.
In conclusion, Watley expressed confidence in the campaign's organization and strategy, emphasizing the importance of voter engagement and Trump's ability to connect with supporters.
