The president spoke about midterms and his plans to support Republicans in “close” races.
“It’s all about 35 races. Some of you guys are leading by so much, Please don't make me go to your area.”
“Please don't ask me to come to your area and make a speech, right? But I'm going to go to every one of those 35 places, and we're going to see if we can get everyone elected.”
“We're going to do the tele town halls.”
“But I'm going to have to work. I'm going to go up to Alaska for Dan Sullivan. Think of it-they have a man named Dan Sullivan running against him.”
POTUS suggests to Attorney General Todd Blanche, in attendance, that it “should be illegal.”
