Republican National Committee co-Chairwoman Lara Trump underscored the need for voters to turn out on Election Day, as every vote is critical in the effort to propel former President Donald Trump to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump explained she and RNC co-Chairman Michael Whatley have worked “really hard” to shore up the country’s election integrity ahead of the 2024 election. She also said that voters should have the mindset that their vote will decide the election.

“It is about turnout, that is how we’re going to win this,” Lara Trump said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “We always say, ‘Swamp the vote, make it too big to rig it.’ I don’t want a single person watching this right now to feel like, ‘Eh, it’s not going to matter if I vote in the election ’cause they’re going to cheat.’ We have gone above and beyond anything that has been done, including 500 attorneys on the ground in every battleground state, 5,000 poll watchers and poll workers in every battleground state, to ensure election integrity.”
The Trump campaign recently touted the Supreme Court’s decision to allow Virginia to purge an estimated 1,600 people from its voter rolls, which the state took in an effort to stop ineligible noncitizens from voting. The former president discussed this victory for the Republican Party at a rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday, praising both Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) and Attorney General Jason Miyares for their work.
Lara Trump also argued her father-in-law’s support among women is stronger than Vice President Kamala Harris’s support among men, who are “not turning out” for the Democratic presidential candidate. She added that Democrats are “panicking” over Trump’s growth in support among black voters, and that most voters, in general, are realizing their lives were better during Trump’s first term.
The former president’s daughter-in-law also addressed the recent comment from billionaire Mark Cuban, a Harris ally, when he said that Trump has no “intelligent women” supporting him. Lara Trump contended women supporting the former president are “smart enough” to look through the “smoke and mirrors” to come to the conclusion that Trump is the better candidate.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Trump’s 2024 running mate, has also addressed Cuban’s comment, saying that he hopes the Harris campaign would stop “insulting the people they disagreed with” and instead focus on Harris’s record. However, he argued the campaign cannot do this because Harris does not have a record she can run on with voters.
With just two days left before the election, New York Times/Siena College polling data found six of the seven battleground states are toss-ups. However, pollster Nate Cohn said that the poll could underestimate Trump, similar to previous elections.
