BREITBART, April 11, 2022: The Trump endorsement is “now the most sought-after thing in politics” because Americans see the clear contrast between America under former President Donald Trump’s leadership and President Joe Biden’s, Lynne Patton, a senior adviser to Trump and his Save America PAC, told Breitbart News Saturday.

Patton spoke to Breitbart News Saturday ahead of Trump’s big rally in Selma, North Carolina, in support of Rep. Ted Budd (R-NC), who is leading in the GOP Senate primary. Patton, a longtime Trump family aide, made it clear Trump “remains the undefeated leader” of the GOP and Trump’s endorsement gives Budd a significant advantage, as polls indicate he holds a double digit lead in a race that both parties consider “critical” to having a majority in the Senate.

After Trump’s endorsement, Budd experienced a “huge reversal” in his numbers, Patton said, citing a statistic showing that 59 percent of primary voters say Trump’s endorsement makes them more likely to back a candidate. She said it is “absolutely no surprise” that Trump’s endorsement is “now the most sought-after thing in politics.” She also referenced another poll showing Budd doing well against his presumptive Democrat nominee Cheri Beasley, former Chief Justice of North Carolina, by 50-43 among registered voters. So this rally, she said, serves as an “opportunity for Budd to address his constituents and future voters.”

When asked why the Trump endorsement is so effective, Patton made it clear that Americans are seeing the clear contrast between an America under Trump and an America under Biden.

“Voters and Americans across the country, including liberals themselves, are missing Trump now more than ever. You know, as we saw in Virginia and Ohio and New Jersey and Texas, American voters are unapologetically America First and family first,” she said, noting that they are seeing what is happening to this country, which she deemed “just a colossal embarrassment.”
