Trump reinforces 'won't have to vote anymore' remarks when pressed on Fox News

Asked by Laura Ingraham on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle on July 29, 2024 to address criticism that his Turning Point Action remarks implied elections would end, Trump did not retract the comments. He said: "After that, you don't have to worry about voting anymore ... we won't even need your vote anymore because, frankly, we will have such love. If you don't want to vote anymore, that's OK," and separately, "This time, vote. I'll straighten out the country. You won't have to vote anymore. I won't need your vote." Outlets covering the exchange characterized the response as doubling down rather than clarifying, since Trump repeated the same "won't have to vote" framing when given a direct opportunity to correct the record.
