(Video above: Senator Jeff Sessions on on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria”)
WASHINGTON — Appearing on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” on Wednesday, Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) pushed back against the idea that Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump could not win a General Election, saying he is garnering support from “working Americans,” including some Democrats.
“The American people are fed up,” said Sessions. “They want action on (immigration) and Donald Trump is symbolizing it.”
When asked directly if Trump could “beat Hillary Clinton,” Sessions replied, “I think so (based on) what happened in Nevada last night. It looks like working people who may have been voting for Democrats voted for Trump in huge numbers… You cannot win an election with the simple Republican base. You have to have a nominee who can reach beyond that base. Trump is reaching out to working Americans in a way others so far have not been able to do. That’s the way you get over 50 percent. I’ve been talking about that for seven years. Our geniuses – our consultant geniuses said you have got to be more moderate and you have to more amnesty and that’s the way to win an election. I think Trump is proving that is not so.”
Sessions’ full appearance on “Mornings with Maria” can be viewed in the video above.
