Republican National Committee co-Chairwoman Lara Trump expressed her confidence in former President Donald Trump amid the news of two confirmed presidential debates.
Trump appeared Wednesday on Fox News’s Hannity to assure viewers that her father-in-law and presidential candidate is prepared no matter what the circumstances of the debates, hosted by CNN and ABC News, will be. Host Sean Hannity suggested that the networks should not use teleprompters as a way to help President Joe Biden during the debate.
“He is unafraid, and so while the scales are always tipped against him, this is not the first time,” Trump said. “… So try, though they might, to rig this thing, which, Sean, they will, he is going to come out on top.”
Hannity pointed out that while Trump has agreed to debate on Fox News as well, Biden has only agreed to “liberal” outlets.
“You’re right,” Trump responded. “It’s rigged so heavily in Joe Biden’s favor, but everything always is. You’ve got Hollywood against Donald Trump, you’ve got the music industry against Donald Trump, mainstream media. Despite that, and even the judicial system at this point, he is beating Joe Biden in every poll out there. It’s amazing to see. So if Joe Biden shows up June 27 and doesn’t come up with an excuse, like he has to wash his hair or something, I have full confidence that Donald Trump will outperform him.”

The co-chairwoman has documented the bump in RNC fundraising coinciding with the day the former president appeared in a New York courtroom to begin the jury selection for his trial. The campaign raised $1.5 million after the first day and then doubled that amount three days later, and more donations added up to $76 million in April alone.
This comes after the RNC and Trump raised $65.6 million in March. Last month, Trump hosted a fundraiser that fetched $50.5 million, a record for a single political fundraiser. The latest donations continue to close the gap between the two presumptive nominees.
