WATCH: Lara Trump tells Sara Gonzales how she plans to win elections as RNC chair
Lara Trump, Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, recently announced her plans to run as the new co-chair for the Republican National Committee in the wake of Ronna McDaniel’s announcement that she’d be stepping down.
Now, Laura joins Sara Gonzales to discuss her plans for rebuilding and rebranding the Republican Party.
“This is a position for which I never imagined I'd run, but I also never imagined our country would be in such a bad spot,” she says. “We really have a must-win election on November 5, and the reality is you cannot win a presidential election without the Republican National Committee.”
She goes on to explain how the key to success will be “changing our approach” when it comes to elections.
“As conservatives ... we want paper ballots; we want voter ID everywhere, but we don't live in that day right now, and the way we get to that spot is electing president Donald Trump, taking back the Senate, and expanding our lead in the House so we can actually make those substantive changes,” she tells Sara.
For now, she says, “we need to make sure that early voting is something we are talking about as conservatives. The first day early voting starts in your state ... get out and vote; then you take someone with you every day up until Election Day to vote” so that the party has “banked votes” and avoids “going into Election Day at a deficit.”
Further, we need “trained poll-watchers ... who can physically handle the ballots” and “count how many ballots are coming into a location and how many are going out, so we don't have miraculous suitcases full of ballots showing up after or on Election Day.”
Perhaps, more than anything, “we need to re-establish trust in this entity — the RNC,” Lara says.
As a Trump family member, Lara says she’ll “be watching every penny and ensuring it goes to causes we care about.”
She also intends to “check out every vendor that the RNC is using” as well as “all of the staff there.”
When Sara asked if she would be open to working with Scott Presler, Lara said, “I think Scott Presler is amazing. What he’s done for voter registration is incredible,” adding that she hopes to “put him in charge of our legal ballot-harvesting operation.”
“[Democrats] have the whole media apparatus behind them,” she explained, adding that it’s “basically their marketing arm.”
“We know that they've been slippery in elections before ... and it's not going to be their first rodeo, so, we've got to play the game even better,” which is why she “loves the idea of Scott Presler.”
