Former President Donald Trump is endorsing people, such as Republican Senate candidate for Ohio J.D. Vance, who can beat Democrats in the general election, Trump senior adviser Lynne Patton told Breitbart News Saturday ahead of Saturday night’s rally in Delaware County.
Trump is holding a rally in Ohio Saturday with J.D. Vance, whom he endorsed this month, noting that Vance champions America First policies. Patton predicted that it is going to be an “electric” event.
“Primaries are critical, but the general is even more important and Trump is endorsing people who can beat the Democrat candidate in Ohio, and nothing is more important,” Patton said. “And as I stated last week, Trump’s endorsement is the most sought-after prize in politics.”
“Trump’s undeniable hold on the Republican Party and MAGA base is tighter than G.I. Joe’s Kung Fu Grip and remains unmatched as evidenced by the fact that Trump has raised more money than the RNC and DNC combined this quarter,” she continued, explaining that 98 percent of the donations have been less than $200, which confirms that Trump’s grassroots support is growing.
Vance, Patton continued, reaped the benefits immediately after Trump’s endorsement, as nearly $5 million in new donations poured in.
“And he’s taken the lead in this race for Senate for the first time since tossing his name in the ring,” she said, explaining that Vance’s positions are aligned with Trump’s — from closing the border to tariffs on China.
“And at the end of the day, that’s what matters and the polls reflect it,” she said.

“Democrats don’t have an agenda that delivers results, and they know it,” she said as she and host Matthew Boyle discussed the left’s latest attempts to drive a wedge between Trump and GOP party leaders, such as House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).
Americans are dealing with surging immigration, a supply chain crisis, rising crime, rampant inflation — all of which have “single handedly lifted our party to the highest midterm election vote in the last 40 years,” Patton said, also noting the diversity of the GOP candidates running across the country.
Americans were safer, healthier, and richer under Trump, she continued, noting that Americans are now paying hundreds more per month on living expenses because of President Biden’s leadership.
Trump’s endorsement of Vance in Ohio is of particular interest, as Trump flipped the state by breaking through to working class communities. His tax incentives encouraged factories to stay in the U.S. instead of moving overseas, and more Americans were working under Trump, Patton explained, noting that “when you earn more, you spend more.” Disposable income, she continued, grew by “nearly” ten percent, and consumer confidence reached a record high. Americans were spending more and saving more, from five percent to eight percent, Patton continued, explaining that Ohio, specifically, benefited because Trump rolled back Obama’s “job killing regulations,” including the Waters of the U.S. rule, which she said “literally crippled farmers across this country.”
America had the best economic optimism in decades as Trump continued to put America first, pulling the U.S. out of bad trade deals such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which Patton described as a “huge deal.” Americans, she said, saw the benefits immediately as Trump continued to negotiate other deals, including pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord. Yet, America became energy independent for the first time in decades, and the U.S. led the world in lowest carbon emissions without being part of the bad deal, she said, explaining that Trump showed that imbalanced deals never put America first.
“It boils down to common sense, Matt. Trump put America first. It’s not that complicated, but evidently, in a world of politics and Democrats, they continually put other countries ahead of us,” she said, ultimately encouraging Ohio Republicans to get out and vote.
