As of Wednesday morning, Trump ran away with 277 electoral votes. Leavitt appeared on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria on Wednesday to give one of her first interviews since the election was called.
“Over the past 721 days since he launched this campaign, our entire team and the president himself have been focused on putting together a large and diverse political movement reaching out to demographics of voters that the Republican Party and definitely the Democrat Party have long ignored,” Leavitt said.
According to Leavitt, even though Trump didn’t win in some of the areas he rallied in, such as the Bronx neighborhood of New York City, his efforts were all worth it.
“It was always President Trump’s idea to head into the deep blue regions, particularly New York and New Jersey, which he loved so much. It’s his home state. You look at how he drove up numbers in these places, ultimately winning the popular vote by nearly five million votes. It’s just remarkable,” Leavitt said. “It shows Americans all races no matter how much more than they make religion they subscribe to what state they come from red state or blue state turned out to polls for Donald Trump.”

The last time New York elected a Republican for president was in 1984 when former President Ronald Reagan was elected. New York elected Reagan, who also made a campaign stop in the Bronx ahead of his first win, for both terms. At the time, he addressed the National Urban League Conference.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris performed worse in these same blue areas than President Joe Biden did in 2020.
