HIGHLIGHTS

On "Our Great American Comeback Tour":

"It was incredible. We expected that we would get a good response, but in every place - Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina - the crowds exceeded our expectations. People were really excited to be out there and really appreciated the message... We papered all these places. We did five stops in Iowa, four in New Hampshire, and three in South Carolina. And I think what we showed is, Biden is not going to be able to get away with just sitting in his basement on this campaign, because we are going to run him ragged all across this country, holding him accountable for his failures."

On Refusing to Bow Under Pressure:

"Somebody does a campaign contribution and you're supposed to lay down for them? That is not how I operate. People can support me or not support me. I call them as I see them, and if you have supported me but you're wrong, I am going to do what's right."

On Why He is Running:

"I owe loyalty to the people that elected me. The people that elected me, they don't need to be loyal to elected officials. It's our job to be loyal to them, to their aspirations, and to the larger cause. Be loyal to your faith, and your family, and your country. Other politicians, you work with them to be able to advance a larger mission. But people need to earn it. You need to go out there and earn it. And I think what I would be able to do is, we would be able to get this done against Biden, but then come in with a lot of energy in the executive office, and have a really bold agenda that we will be able to implement, and then also run for reelection, get reelection, and then have 8 years to really institute lasting change. And I think that this is a critical moment for the country. We're not going to get a mulligan after 2024. You know, some people tell me like, oh, well, you should just quote wait to '28. Well, that would make sense if you're running to be somebody. But I'm not running to be somebody, I'm running to do something. And I think 2024 is the country's hour of need. And I think we'll be able to get the job done for the American people."

On Why He is Being Attacked by the Media and Democrats:

"The corporate press is attacking me more than anybody else. The Democrats are attacking me. They would not do that if they didn't think I was a threat. I mean, if they thought that I was not in shape to really win this thing, they would just be ignoring me. But they are not. They are coming after me. I am the one that has taken most of the fire. And I think that is an indication that people know that we do have what it takes, and that we are a force to be reckoned with."
