President Trump dominated, delivering a powerful message while Joe Biden’s catastrophic wipeout will go down in history as the worst Presidential Debate performance ever. | | Elise appeared on Fox Business, CNN, and Newsmax ahead of the debate to discuss the stark contrast between President Trump’s America First agenda and Joe Biden’s record of failure. Afterward, she dominated the media spin room and joined Sean Hannity to recap President Trump’s dominant victory. | | Watch Elise’s interview with Fox Business here. | | Watch Elise’s interview with CNN here. | | Watch Elise’s interview with Newsmax here. | | Watch Elise’s interview with Hannity here. | | Read Elise's statement congratulating President Trump on his historic win against Joe Biden’s pathetic performance – | | “This is the greatest presidential debate win in history. President Donald J. Trump overwhelmingly won tonight’s debate from the economy and the border to foreign policy and the sanctity of life, President Trump laid out a vision to Save America. Joe Biden’s abysmal performance proved what the American people already know: that Joe Biden is mentally and physically unfit to serve as President of the United States.
“President Trump’s America First agenda will save our country from the crises created by Joe Biden’s failed leadership. President Trump will crush Bidenflation, secure our Southern and Northern Borders, bring back American energy dominance, restore law and order, end Biden’s unconstitutional weaponization of our federal government, and save our democracy. This election is the most important election in our nation’s history and the American people know we must elect President Donald J. Trump.”
