On Thursday night, I squared off with my opponent in a live television debate. You can watch the full 25-minute debate here and see my closing statement here.
Kermit began the debate by criticizing me for wanting to suspend the gas tax and by going out of his way to oppose American energy independence. And it was only downhill from there.
Apparently, Kermit’s own team was underwhelmed by his performance. The “debate recap” email he sent to his list didn’t even mention our own debate, but instead ranted about Dr. Oz and Fetterman’s showdown in Pennsylvania.
I almost felt sorry for him for having to defend the Biden-Pelosi agenda. But then I remembered he’s enthusiastically supported that agenda and pledged to take it even further.
Despite Kermit’s debate woes, the National Democrat funding machine is not letting up. Eric Swalwell and Katie Porter just sent emails raising money for him and his Finance Director claims to have just signed “the largest invoice I’ve ever seen in my life.”
I’m grateful that the universal consensus is we won the debate, and I hope I was able to convey what all of us are fighting for: a new direction for our economy, a better life for our families, and a new birth of freedom for our country.
