Election Day. Make America Great Again!

Shelby County Chairman’s Corner: Rallying the Republican Spirit as Election Day Approaches

October brought energy and high stakes for the Republican Party as we ramped up campaign efforts across the nation. With a series of candidate rallies, town halls, and local engagement events, Republicans took their messages directly to the people, emphasizing issues that resonate with voters: economic stability, national security, and government accountability. This past month, we’ve seen an exceptional turnout across the country, a testament to the growing momentum and enthusiasm for our shared values.

As Election Day draws near, Republicans across the country are showing tremendous enthusiasm, driven by our shared commitment to America’s future and energized by recent events. The Vance-Walz debate was a key moment, bringing crucial issues to the forefront and reminding us of what’s at stake in this election. But it’s the actions and words surrounding the debate that have truly ignited our movement.

One of the most memorable recent moments was President Trump stopping by a McDonald’s to connect with everyday Americans. While the left talks down to our voters, Trump is out there, engaging directly with the people he’s working to serve. His genuine interaction at McDonald’s wasn’t just a campaign stop; it was a symbol of the values we stand for—respect for hard-working Americans and a dedication to the everyday concerns of our nation.

Meanwhile, we’ve seen an alarming trend from the other side. President Biden’s recent statement calling Trump supporters “garbage” was a disappointing reminder of how divided our country has become under his leadership. Rather than addressing Americans’ concerns with respect, Democrats are pushing divisive rhetoric. On top of that, recent Democratic messaging has implied that Trump supporters don’t represent “strong, intellectual women,”; an accusation that couldn’t be further from the truth. We know our supporters come from every background and represent the strength, intelligence, and resilience that define America.

These remarks only reinforce why this election matters so much. Our movement is not about politicians or party labels—it’s about everyday Americans who believe in freedom, opportunity, and unity. With Election Day just around the corner, I urge each of you to keep praying, keep talking to your neighbors, and keep sharing our message. This final stretch is crucial, and together, we can ensure our voices are heard loud and clear at the polls. Thank you for your hard work, and let’s make history together. #VOTERED2024
