Republican Party leaders in battleground states are not deterred by former President Donald Trump’s New York conviction; if anything, they are primed for political combat.
Vonne Andring, senior advisor for the Pennsylvania GOP told The Epoch Times, the state party is hearing massive outrage, concern for America, and “unmitigated determination” to save the country.
Michigan
Michigan GOP Chairman Pete Hoekstra told The Epoch Times, Michiganders will see through the politics of the New York trial and support President Trump in November, saying President Trump is the only one fighting for the people.
“From day one, this politically charged trial was rigged against President Trump,” Mr. Hoekstra said in an email. “Brought by a corrupt, far left district attorney in one of the most liberal cities in the country, this sham trial has been widely disregarded by legal experts. It’s meant to be a distraction from the real issues at play—the issues that Biden knows he’s losing on with Michigan voters—like the economy, the attack on our automobile industry, and the weakness of our Southern Border.”
A Michigan GOP spokesperson noted that Republicans have a compelling story for Wolverine State voters, pointing to state inflation up 19.5 percent.
The Michigan GOP is working closely with the Republican National Committee and the Trump Campaign to bolster his success in November through get out the vote efforts, Victoria LaCivita, Team Trump Michigan communications director told The Epoch Times.
Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona
Wisconsin GOP Chairman Brian Schimming did not respond to a request for comment, but he announced support for President Trump on social media, saying the Department of Justice has been weaponized against the former president by President Joe Biden and his supporters, and that he looks forward to welcoming 50,000 people to Milwaukee for the Republican convention, to nominate President Trump and “take America back.”
“There are a lot of banana republics that are jealous of the United States’ court system today,” Mr. Schimming said.
Georgia Republican Party Chairman Josh McKoon released a statement calling the jury’s decision “preordained by a partisan judge and prosecutor” who have damaged public confidence in the criminal justice system.
