'I saw a wave of red hats... Donald Trump's popularity continues to increase,' Sen. Tim Scott claimed after Libertarians booed the former president.
this weekend isn’t deterring the senator from rosily insisting that while you may have heard jeers, there was a “wave of red hats” in the crowd.Scott’s sunny assessment of the reception the former president received doesn’t line up with the reality that Libertarians loudly objected to nearly every line of Trump’s speech that usually draws applause from the former president’s supporters.
“Combine with us in a partnership,” Trump told the convention. “We’re asking that of the Libertarians. We must work together. Combine with us. You have to combine with us.”“He’s not just going to the Libertarian Convention,” Scott said of Trump. “He’s also doing rallies in Bronx. He’s doing something, what I consider a 50-state strategy.”
“So I give him a lot of credit and going to places where Republicans have not gone before. If we’re going to win this election cycle, we must go where we’re not invited,” he continued. “And to see the former president take that seriously is, in my opinion, a strong sign and one of the reasons why, Dana, we are seeing the poll numbers moving in his direction.”, making his lead quite vulnerable.
Scott is on the short list of contenders to be Trump’s running mate, and he has attempted to curry favor with the former president across multiple media appearances. Earlier this month, Scottwhether he would accept the results of the 2024 election. “I expect President Trump to win the next election and, listen, I’m not going to answer your hypothetical question,” he told NBC host Kristen Welker when she pressed him on whether he would commit to accepting the election results.
