On First 2018 Campaign Trip, Trump Vows: ‘We’re Going To Win A Lot Of Elections’
Taking his first step back onto the campaign trail in 2018, President Donald Trump said Thursday he expects his party to “win a lot of elections” in November’s midterm contests if the economy stays strong.
That will start, Trump hopes, with a March 13 special election in this conservative corner of southwestern Pennsylvania.
Voters will head to the polls next month to replace former Republican Rep. Tim Murphy, who resigned in October following a sex scandal.
The potential government shutdown crisis in Washington seemed far from Trump’s mind as he took a victory lap on the tax plan he signed into law late last year and the booming economy.
“If we keep it like this, we’re going to win a lot of elections,” Trump told about 400 workers at H&K Equipment Company. “It’s the economy, stupid did you ever hear that one?”
Trump technically came to the Pittsburgh area to discuss the tax policy, so taxpayers footed the bill for the travel expenses of the official White House event.
