It had a smiling Trump on it, giving the finger, with the line, "You missed, b**ches!" That's a reference to Trump surviving the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.
How great is that? Trump must have loved that.
Trump was asked for his message to the voters.
"Just get out and vote. If they vote, we're gonna win big," Trump said.
DeSantis agreed, saying it wasn't just true in Florida but in any of the races across the country — that it was turnout that was going to matter. That's why Trump has been barnstorming to help the candidates and committing a lot of money to the cause.
Reporter: Why is the governor race between Byron Donalds and David Jolly so close? Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “I think anytime you run as a first-time candidate, it's a big state. You got to get known. That just takes time. But if you look, when I ran eight years ago, we had 300K more registered Democrats in this state than Republicans. Today, we have 1.5M more registered Republicans. So I think what the president said is right. If people come out, if our people vote, I think we'll win, not just in Florida, but some of these other Senate races that are close. If our people show up, we'll win those Senate races. So it's all about the turnout, and no one does it better than the president of the United States. President Trump: “He's going to be in great shape. He's going to be in great shape.” VOTE RED up and down the ballot!
