Republican voters who “gave up” on the party in the 2018 elections are returning to the polls to help President Trump’s reelection, according to a top House leader.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said what’s driving them to return is their fondness for Trump, who has also at times fought with the GOP.
“Trump’s voters love this president. They are the forgotten men and women who didn't show up two years ago but who voted for Trump in 2016,” he told a private Zoom meeting with members of the centrist Republican Ripon Society.
In comments shared with Secrets, Scalise said that he has traveled to several states and witnessed the return of the president’s supporters who had bailed on the GOP in 2018, giving control of the House to the Democrats.
I will tell you that I'm in a lot of those states, and they are showing up. They didn't show up for us in 2018, frankly, because they gave up on both parties. But they love this president and what he's doing. That's positive energy, and positive energy is what's going to win this election, not negative energy,” said the Louisiana lawmaker.
Part of the energy driving GOP voters, he added, was the White House nomination of federal Judge Amy Coney Barrett to replace the late Associate

Who gave up in 2018 and why ?
I mean who voted for Trump in 2016 and gave up in 2018 ?
That doesn't even make sense.

Talk about giving up, how many GOP House members opted out of re-election in 2018 and left the GOP voters without much in the way of solid candidates and party enthusiasm?
Russian BS scandal AND HISTORICALLY the party in the WH loses seats in an off year election.

Exactly. And millions of outside money poured into those races along with the amount of ballot harvesting in California that lost seats.
And....where was Ronna, during the 2018 races???
Idiot bastards gave the House to the devil and got Trump impeached.
Plus massive fraud.
How many seats were lost in CA after weeks of counting ballots.
Lot of RINOs left- and good riddance!
(Shame what they were replaced by though.)
exactly thats why allowing weeks of counting is riddled with fraud.
why not allow counting for a year?
true the GOP didn’t fight too hard did they? Many quit out of some tantrum.
I would rather have the RINOs if that meant keeping the House leadership, thank you very much. It would have saved the country from a lot of nonsense that took place once Pelosi had the reins again. There would have been time to work on the RINOs for the 2020 election.
My guess is people were not enthused about voting for the same Bush League Republican they watched thwart the first two years of the Trump administration.
True....but we’re past that and we need everyone on board to fight this fight for a Trump win!
Go Trump!
Addition by Subtraction, we got rid of a lot of the deadweight. The Team had to be blown up at some point.
Those disappointed with the GOP House leadership and their failure to back Trump.
I am not sure it was worth the price Trump and the country paid since January 2019.
