Madison Gesiotto Gilbert: We Need To Start Targeting Voters Where They Actually Are, Not Just Where We Hope They Are
RNC National spokesperson Madison Gesiotto Gilbert joins Fox Across America With guest host Jason Chaffetz to explain how the GOP can successfully reach the maximum amount of potential voters in next year’s presidential election.
“I think part of that success and how we get that message to them is making sure that our candidates, and as a party, that we’re not just targeting the voters where we hope they are, but where they actually are. We look at that youth vote, for example, that we need to do better with. You know, where are we targeting these young people? They’re not getting their news on cable news like the past generations. A lot of these younger people like my younger sister, they’re all in social media. So we need to make sure that we’re in the same place as they are and we’re getting not only the right messaging to them, but we’re reaching them and actually reaching them. So that’s going to be huge for us in ’24. And then, of course, early voting. We’re pushing and pushing pushing for early voting. We want people voting early. We want them voting absentee. I know there’s a stigma in the Republican Party about it. I get it because I don’t like early voting myself. But until the laws change, we have to play the same game as the Democrats. It’ll save the party a lot of money targeting someone early that is a solid Republican that votes on day one. Maybe we spend $5 if we have to chase that Republican up until Election Day, we’re spending 30 plus. That other 25 plus dollars could be going to targeting those independents that I think can swing our way in ’24, that maybe we didn’t in ’22, especially with the issue of abortion being on the ballot. I think we can win a lot of votes we didn’t win previously, but it’s going to take the resources and we’re going to have to have those resources. So I encourage all Republicans across the country vote early, visit bank your vote dot com to commit to voting early.”
