U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville joined Fox News on Sunday morning to discuss the growing momentum of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the nationwide effort to court the youth vote.
Tuberville spoke in particular about the former president’s surprise surge in a state not typically won by Republican candidates seeking higher office.
“You know, he told me a year ago, Maria, while we were playing golf one day. He says, Coach, I’m going to have a great chance to win New York,” said Tuberville. “I said, you lost your mind. He goes, you wait and see. We’re going to work New York hard. We’re going to get to people and tell them the truth about what’s happening, and we’re going to clean our city and our states up around the country, and New York will be one of them.”
“He’s giving it a run for it, and I think he’s got a good chance.”

He issued a stark warning to a group of voters he believes are considering a vote for Kamala Harris.
“Then, of course, President Trump, you know, he’s run a very strong campaign in the last three weeks,” said Tuberville. “He’s got to win. Our country is in such tailspin, and, you know, the people that say they might not vote for President Trump are the young people, and they’re voting against their future. I don’t understand that. I’ve been trying to tell all these young people across the country, that your future is at stake.”
“If you don’t elect somebody that believes in America and believes in the Constitution, like President Trump, you’re going to have a tough time in life.”
During his appearance, the Senator also noted that a Republican sweep of the presidency, House, and Senate is a distinct possibility.
“I think we could. It’s going to be very close. Again, I don’t know much about the House. I think the Senate. I think we’re going to get 51 to 54 seats in the Senate. Just the work that I’ve seen over the last four or five months.”
