My Closing Argument!
Do everything you can to leave it all on the field over the next 6 days. You don’t want to wake up a week from today thinking about what else you could have done to win this election.

Good morning, Happy Warriors! 👋
Common sense has re-entered the room!
Today is Wednesday, October 30, 2024. We are 6 days away from the 2024 election.
Have you made your plan to vote yet? Go to www.Vote.GOP and make a plan NOW!
Take a deep breath - regardless of next Tuesday, God is still in control!
Here’s a Bible verse to get you through this week:
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” 1 Timothy 2:1-2
Here’s this week’s final edition of “What’s Up, America? 🇺🇸” before Election Day as I head off to school this morning:
My Closing Argument: Vote Like Your Future Depends On It, Because It Does!
This is the last newsletter I’ll have honor of dropping in your inbox before Election Day.
I don’t take this opportunity lightly, and decided to use it to give my closing argument to you Happy Warriors out there! Please read and forward to any undecided or on the fence friends!
“I feel cautiously optimistic, sir.”
That’s what I told President Trump when he asked me my thoughts on his chances two weeks ago backstage in Atlanta after the above picture was taken.
That’s the same response I’ve given all of you that have reached out, but don’t confuse that confidence with cockiness.
Cockiness is a cancer. Cockiness is how we lose this election. Cockiness results in people sitting at home on Election Day because “the polls look good”.
I’ve urged everyone that will listen from 2021 to today to treat this race like we’re 20 points behind. I stand by that today and that should continue to be our mentality for the next 6 days.
Why do I feel confident? The work has been done.
Trump has fired from all cylinders to reach every place, every group, and every voter. He’s kept up a grueling schedule, mostly stayed on a disciplined message, and has done the work to go places no candidate has gone.
When I came on as Youth Chair in January 2023, I introduced a trifold system to win: reach the voter through social media, follow up with in-depth explanations, seal the deal with in-person contact.
The RNC adopted this strategy with our Youth Advisory Council and here’s how we’ve achieved it: growing and developing social media outreach from Trump’s accounts, the campaign’s accounts, and various partners’/influencers’ accounts to get our message out. Then, once their interested, we have to convert those viewers into voters (this is the hard part). The campaign has done an incredible job of using a candidate that will talk to anybody and everybody for however long they’ll stand and listen in podcast situations. Print media is dead, radio is on it’s way out, and cable is behind it. Look around. What’s not dying? Podcasts. Instead, they’re doing the opposite. He’s sat down and explained his policies and plans in detail in long form content that feels comfortable and familiar with youth voters. What’s next? The grand finale. Once voters have become familiar or even fond of Trump through social media, have heard his detailed plans through podcasts, we convert viewers to voters in-person. This requires organizations like TPUSA, YAF, LI, CRS, and YRS working on college campuses to reach out to voters face-to-face registering them and getting them on board to vote on Tuesday.
This strategy doesn’t just apply to the youth but is an example of a larger theme in the 2024 Trump campaign: coordinated, strategic, disciplined. Thankfully, it has worked!
That’s why, after this embrace I laid out, we’ve seen voter registration and early voting numbers hit historic highs for Republicans in the past two weeks.
So when people, or the President himself, asks if I feel confident, that’s why.
At the end of the day, regardless of your age, zip code, race, gender, religion or previous party affiliation, we’re all Americans and we’re all frustrated. Focus back in on Gen Z since that’s who I spend so much time speaking to: we can’t afford to fill up our tanks, buy our first home, start a family, or live out the America Dream. Our parents’ generation are taking extra jobs to feed their families, and our grandparents’ generation can’t afford to take their well deserved retirement. Everyone’s frustrated.
I’m confident that frustration turns in to effective action.
Understand me clearly: I don’t care if you don’t like the orange man’s personality. I don’t care if some of his tweets offended you. Put his policies over personality. You’re not electing a preacher on Tuesday, you’re electing a president.
It can all simply be boiled down to this: Kamala Harris broke America. Donald Trump will fix it.
So take a step back. This time next week we’ll be waking up in a post-Election Day America.
A lot of us remember that day in 2016: shock, joy, hope! Sadly, we also remember that day in 2020: frustration, confusion, disbelief.
At 9 AM next Wednesday, don’t you want to feel the first, not the later?
Then get off the sidelines.
Do everything you can to leave it all on the field over the next 6 days. Door knock, phone bank, put up yard signs, carpool 5 friends to the polls, talk with neighbors, family members, and friends in Sunday School.
You don’t want to wake up a week from today thinking about what else you could have done to win this election. Do it now, before it’s too late.
