(Ben Sellers, Holder USA) At a rally Thursday in the Bronx, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump warned blue-state Democrats that he was stalking their turf as he eyed the bigger one. red wave elections in 40 years as his aspiration.
during the North Carolina Republican convention a day later GreensboroTrump's daughter-in-law, Lara, who is now the co-chair of the Republican National Committeeexplained how the RNC sought to achieve this feat in the era of systemic election theft, after a brutal run of three disappointing election cycles under his predecessor, Ronna Romney McDaniel.
Like Trump's speech in New York's Crotona Park, it involves entering uncharted territory where only Democrats have dared to venture in the past. The strategy is that of Donald Trump and many others MAGA the nation has not only been mocked but openly denounced as a conduit for fraud.
However, with rules that were controversial and, in some cases, illegal, they have since been codified in swing states like Arizona, pennsylvania i Michigan who lost the last battle, there is no choice but to follow their lead instead of trying to go against the grain.
“Listen, we can't play the game the same way and think we're going to win; we have to fight fire with dynamite,” said Lara Trump, who was joined on stage by her husband. ericthe second son of the previous and future president.

For North Carolina, which allows those who have applied absentee voting requests to start voting two months before the election, vote banking will become a key strategy. The state's in-person voting begins Oct. 17, with registration available the same day, according to the Board of Elections.
“What Donald Trump has said, and what we're encouraging people to do as well, is, any way you can vote, and as soon as you can vote, finish your vote,” Lara Trump said.
He stressed that the overall goal of the strategy was to regain control of Republicans so that they could ideally enact legislation that would make election integrity the law of the land, including a single day of in-person voting as US Constitution specifically stipulates.
However, he admitted that the extra 20 voting days was also something Republicans could use to their advantage, as long as there were people watching every step of the way to make sure. chain of custody the rules were followed and that the poll watchers were there to make sure there were no early-morning vote dumps that muddied the official tally.
“Listen, life happens, right? You never know what can happen on a day-to-day basis: you might get sick, your kids might have a problem, something happens at work, and you don't want to wait and miss out on your vote,” Lara Trump reasoned.
“We have to make it too big to handle in this election cycle, so we want you to go vote early, the first day you can, and then we want you to work from that day, every day until the day of the election. people at the polls,” he continued. “Get them there; make sure you engage them, make sure you get them to vote.”
In addition to vote banking, Lara Trump also anticipated another major component of the new path to an RNC victory, which likely raised a few eyebrows in the audience.
“Democrats have been doing something for years that we've never done as a party, and that's legal vote-gathering,” he said.
“So everywhere in this country we can legally collect votes, look for an operation led by the RNC,” he added. “If they can do it, so can we, and we'll beat them at their own game.”
ALL VOTES COUNT (EXCEPT WHEN THE REPUBLICANS WIN…)
As Lara Trump, a Wilmington native who helped deliver the state to her father-in-law in 2016 and 2020, knows all too well, collection of ballots it is not legal in North Carolina.
In fact, the ban resulted in an ironic reversal of the Democrats' roles during the 2018 electoral cycleafter a close race in the 8th Congressional District resulted in allegations against the winning Republican candidate Mark Harrisa Baptist minister.
In an effort to steal the seat from Harris after his narrow victory, the Democratic National Committee sent a notorious lawyer Marc Elias in Raleigh to argue the case against the alleged GOP pollster, despite Elias doing so invested successfully several notable elections by finding ballot bags mysteriously uncounted after the fact.
Although Harris, after a dramatic hearing, chose to drop out of the renewal election, the story may have had a happy ending. Then-state Sen. Dan Bishop, a staunch pro-values Republican, he was decisively elected (and twice re-elected), becoming a powerful voice in the House. armaments subcommittee and a member of the Freedom Caucus.
Frustrated by all the gridlock and red tape in Congress, Bishop is now running to be the state's attorney general, where he hopes to make a bigger impact in fighting the type of law attacks carried out by the left (mainly soros-funded) activists.
The candidate to replace him is none other than Harris, who won his primary in a district that is now much more conservative, eliminating the need for any of the aggressive get-out-the-vote practices he once solicited in the woods.
As for Elias, the ethically challenged litigation appears to have forced him to resign from his former law firm, Perkins Coie, after receiving the scrutiny of a special counsel by John Durham research on the Russia collusion deception.
Yet he continues to aggressively seek ways to undermine electoral integrity and fight the GOP at every turn, underscoring the need for leaders like Bishop to fight in the courtroom.
The legal challenges being made by Elias and others law activists played no small role in the personnel changes Donald Trump made at the RNC after locking up the Republican nomination in March.
As his son Eric said, Trump's team was actively involved in “RINO hunt” to rid the national party of any disloyal races that might secretly try to undermine Trump's populist movement in hopes of restoring a Bush dynasty.
During Friday night's dinner presentation in North Carolina, Eric Trump even called his father on the phone for a roughly five-minute call. (Trump, who personally assisted NC convention in 2023, had a rare night off Friday before a scheduled speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party convention in Washington, DC)
While Eric and Laura joined new NCGOP Chair Jason Simmons, Donald Trump has special praise for RNC Co-Chair Michael Whatley, who was scheduled to appear at the convention Saturday alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.
He noted that Whatley has stood out from other state leaders in his efforts to fight fraud in 2020.

“There has never been so much cheating in the history of elections as this: they used COVID to cheat,” the former president said.
However, “…Michael Whatley did a fantastic job,” Trump added. “The reason we took him is because he was stable. He had 600 different lawyers working that night. They were looking at voter fraud. … Michael did the best job … so we took North Carolina and put him in the head of the RNC along with Laura.
