Our economy was thriving for every class of citizen, whether you were white, Hispanic, black, Asian, didn't matter. Everyone was doing better. Inflation was at a record low, and our economy was thriving, and we were safe [when President Trump was in office]. So we're going to get back to that. I'm thrilled to have his endorsement, and not only that, I'm looking forward to voting for him. My entire family is going to vote for him. (37:44–37:50)
