Ahead of Election Day, polls showed Trump leading Harris in North Carolina. Mercedes Schlapp joined Newsmax to explain that Trump's solutions to the economy, public safety, and illegal immigration and his family-oriented values are driving momentum behind the former president.
"Normally, the economy is the top issue when it comes to voters in a presidential election. Now, its turned into not only the economy, but immigration," said Schlapp. "We see these cases that Donald Trump is able to bring to light like the Laken Riley story."
Trump's ability to share specific, individual stories of people affected by the illegal immigration issues and create personal relationships with the families of victims is relating him to the American people and showing his empathy and understanding of the issues affecting their daily lives. In short, Americans are realizing that the America first platform benefits them far more than the Left's America last approach.
