Byron Donalds |
CHICAGO, IL — During a Trump-Vance 2024 press briefing in Chicago on Tuesday, Representative Byron Donalds (R-FL) dismissed concerns raised by Democrats regarding the potential impact of abortion issues on the upcoming presidential election. When asked about claims that the abortion debate could swing key Southern states like North Carolina, Georgia, and Texas in favor of Democrats, Donalds was quick to refute the notion.

"My reaction is that’s silliness," Donalds responded. He was clear in his assertion that Democrats' attempts to capitalize on the abortion issue are unlikely to shift the political landscape in these traditionally Republican strongholds. "Look, they can say whatever they want, but I think the polling has been pretty consistent in every state that you're talking about," he added.
Donalds highlighted North Carolina as a battleground that has seen close contests between Republicans and Democrats in recent election cycles, but he remained confident that Republicans would secure victory again. "North Carolina has always been a very interesting state. We've battled over North Carolina—the Republicans and Democrats—during the last several cycles, but Republicans have pulled it out. It takes work, there’s no doubt about that, and we're committed to doing the same work for North Carolina."
Addressing concerns about Texas, Donalds was emphatic in his reassurance that the Lone Star State would remain in Republican hands. "When it comes to Texas, Texas is going to be just fine," he stated confidently. He also dismissed any doubts about his home state of Florida, adding, "Florida is going to be just fine. It’s going to come home for President Trump."
Donalds' remarks reflect the Trump-Vance campaign’s confidence in retaining support across key Southern states despite Democrats’ focus on abortion rights as a central campaign issue. As the 2024 election draws nearer, the abortion debate is expected to remain a contentious topic, with both parties vying to secure the support of voters on either side of the issue. However, Donalds' comments suggest that the Trump-Vance campaign is not concerned about losing ground in the South, viewing the Democrats' strategy as unlikely to sway the election in their favor.
