Former President Trump should concentrate on winning over moderate voters by adopting a bipartisan approach akin to his RNC-style rhetoric to secure a decisive victory in the 2024 presidential election, according to entrepreneur Patrick Bet-David.
Valuetainment founder and podcaster Patrick Bet-David appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss Trump’s strategy against Kamala Harris. Bet-David emphasized the importance of targeting independent voters.
“Every time he speaks, he needs to realize you’re not talking to MAGA. You already have them. You’re talking to independents,” Bet-David told Jesse Watters on Monday.
“Somebody needs to whisper to him right before he hits the stage, ‘Remember, you’re trying to win over independents, not MAGA. You’ve already won them over. Win over independents. That’s who you need.’ If he does that, he’ll be the 47th president.”
Trump received commendation for his appearance at the RNC, his first public event after the assassination attempt, where he promoted unity and called for healing societal “discord” earlier this month.
“I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America,” Trump stated to the packed Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee and the national audience watching the convention from home.
“The discord and division in our society must be healed. As Americans, we are bound together by a single fate and a shared destiny. We rise together. Or we fall apart,” the former president noted.
Bet-David argued that Trump’s RNC momentum was unparalleled and could make him unbeatable if he continues with a bipartisan tone.
“Obama at his peak, Clinton at his peak, cannot beat President Trump the way he was at the RNC,” Bet-David said. “They cannot. That’s what they feared because they were divided behind closed doors.”
“The way he spoke at the RNC, he won millions of people who never thought about voting for him,” he continued. “That’s the president that can win.”
Bet-David also suggested that Trump should revert to his earlier campaign style, focusing on “selling the dream” instead of appearing bogged down by the campaign grind.
“He needs to go back to 2015, 2016 speeches and listen to the way he spoke when he was selling the dream,” Bet-David said. “Sell America, sell your resume… Sell the greatness of this country. Sell how amazing of a job we did under your administration. Sell me on how my dreams can become a reality. Sell me what’s going to happen when we get the money to go back into their pockets instead of the government. Sell me on that concept.”
In an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, Trump contrasted his candidacy with Kamala Harris’ “radical-left” record.
“Everybody knows who I am, and now people know who she is. She’s a radical-left lunatic. She’ll destroy our country. She wants open borders,” he told Ingraham. “She wants to defund our police. She wants no bail. She wants no cash… You kill somebody, and we’re going to release you immediately. They call it cashless… By the way, this has been a horrible thing for our country.”
Bet-David concluded that if Trump maintains disciplined rhetoric and focuses on contrasting his record with the Biden-Harris administration, he stands a strong chance of winning by a “landslide” in November.
“When you put resume to resume, Kamala isn’t 1/1,000 of a resume of what President Trump has done,” Bet-David said. “They’re going to try to make the American people believe that she’s done more things than Trump, but Trump just has to stick to his resume and not allow any of this stuff to… bother him, and if he does that, he’s going to win by a landslide.”
