Remarks: Donald Trump Holds a Virtual Tele-Rally for the MAGA Majority Force - October 8, 2026

12:00 PM
Donald Trump 00:00:00-00:00:18 (18 sec)

Well, Joe, thank you very much, and thanks for doing such a great job. You've been with me from the beginning, and I'll never forget. And I wanna just welcome and say a big hello to all of the American patriots that are on the phone right now. We have thousands and thousands of them, and it's my honor to be with you.

Donald Trump 00:00:18-00:00:41 (23 sec)

We're, just as Joe said, 26 days away from the most important midterm election in our lives, probably in our history, because we can't let them destruct all of the great things that we've built, like the borders, like the taxes. We gave you the biggest tax cuts in history, like our Second Amendment. So many things would be destroyed.

Donald Trump 00:00:41-00:01:02 (21 sec)

But each of you has an important role to play, and we need to make you get out and get those phone calls and knock on doors and watch polls and monitor early voting sites and recruit volunteers. And -- and really, you have to make sure that people aren't cheating because these people cheat, the other side, with -- if you think about it, how can they win without cheating?

Donald Trump 00:01:02-00:01:26 (25 sec)

They have, uh, no men in women's sports, OK? They -- they fight for men to play in women's sports. They fight for transgender for everybody. The whole thing is ridiculous. But you just watch, and you know who to call when you see it because they cheat, and they cheat, I think, maybe worse than ever before. Last election, we ran on make -- or just making it -- Too Big to Rig, and then Kamala last week copied the expression.

Donald Trump 00:01:26-00:01:44 (17 sec)

I don't know if you've heard, but she's out there, "Oh, we have to make our vote too big to rig." I couldn't believe it. And she actually got killed on that one, I will tell you. But, uh, that's the whole thing. We have to be very, very careful. We have to get everybody out to vote. So thanks to your hard work.

Donald Trump 00:01:44-00:02:05 (22 sec)

We've knocked on 8.5 million doors, spoken to 2 million voters and made 4.5 million calls. And during the National Week of Action, 100 volunteers took on new leadership roles, which is a record. I want to say a very special thank you to every volunteer helping us defeat the Dumocrats. It's our new term, the Dumocrats.

Donald Trump 00:02:05-00:02:25 (20 sec)

We changed the "e" for a "u" -- dumb -- because the policy is so bad, but the Dumocrats and Make America Great Again. But remember, elections are won on the ground, and I've seen it all the time. We did great in the first one. We did phenomenal in the second one. That was a rigged election, but they're won on the ground.

Donald Trump 00:02:25-00:02:54 (29 sec)

And then we did make it Too Big to Rig in the last one, and nobody's ever gonna do that again. We won all seven swing states. We won everything. We won the popular vote. So -- but we just go one voter at a time. And we cannot stop now if we're going to keep on and expand our majorities. We have to, and I think we really do. You know, uh, presidents, no matter whether they're Republican or Democrat, presidents have a very hard time winning the midterms.

Donald Trump 00:02:54-00:03:17 (22 sec)

Uh, two, is it doesn't make sense at all to me. Never made sense. Nobody's been able to explain it. So two, we've had some good presidents, nobody great except us. It's not me; it's us altogether as a unit, because we are a unit. But if you think, two out of 25 races, four out of 100 races, four -- it's like the craziest thing I've ever heard.

Donald Trump 00:03:17-00:03:37 (21 sec)

I don't understand it. Nobody understands it. Nobody can explain it. But the bottom line is, it's -- there's no reason for it. So we wanna do something that's, uh, supposed to be difficult. A sitting president generally doesn't win the midterms. We're gonna win it because nobody's done more than we've done in the first, uh, year and a half.

Donald Trump 00:03:37-00:03:55 (18 sec)

Let's say the year and a half, a little more now than a year and a half. There's never been a president -- there's never been a group of people that's done more than us. So we need to reach out to everyone you know and a very simple message: Go out and vote Republican. Bring your friends, your family, bring all of your neighbors to the polls.

Donald Trump 00:03:55-00:04:20 (24 sec)

Tell your friends to visit magamajorityforce.com, magamajorityforce.com, so they can volunteer at election sites. And we must really have the greatest honor -- most honest election. If we have an honest election, we're gonna win. If we get people to go out and vote, we're gonna win. They say that when I run, we win because, uh, we get 48% more people.

Donald Trump 00:04:20-00:04:37 (18 sec)

So, as you know, I'm doing rallies all over the place. So I'm gonna do probably almost another 30. We did five in the last five days, but we're gonna do almost 30 more. It's a lot, a lot of work. But I think it's really paying off because there's a spirit about the party now that is -- is like as good as it's ever been.

Donald Trump 00:04:37-00:05:09 (31 sec)

So we're gonna really do some records. You don't need any experience. All you have to do is go out, love our country and just show up and get the people out to vote. Take your friends with you. We'll provide all of the training you need, and there's a role -- literally, there's a role for everybody. So, uh, there are a few exceptions, and I -- I will tell you, there's no exception to greatness, but we have exceptional volunteers on the call, and they deserve special recognition.

Donald Trump 00:05:09-00:05:29 (20 sec)

Some of these people have been with me for a long time, and they are just great. Patrick Smith is an example of freshman at Fordham University, a fantastic school in New York, and has been commuting to Long Island to defeat the sitting Democrat and flip New York's fourth congressional seat. Even got his family to join him.

Donald Trump 00:05:29-00:05:51 (22 sec)

And Patrick, I appreciate it. You are fantastic. I hear all good things. And Gina Myers in York County, Pennsylvania, home of the bodybuilders. It's big, big bodybuilder territory. Pennsylvania's, uh, really been great to me. You know, I won Pennsylvania big, very big last time. Everyone said, you don't win Pennsylvania.

Donald Trump 00:05:51-00:06:12 (22 sec)

We won it very, very big. We won everything, essentially. But Pennsylvania is organizing teams to knock on doors every weekend to reelect Congressman Scott Perry, who's a fantastic guy, in Pennsylvania's 10th dis- -- district. So I know Scott Perry very well, and I will tell you, Gina, that he is a fantastic guy.

Donald Trump 00:06:12-00:06:36 (23 sec)

And he's in a tough district, but he's great. He'll win, but get out and help him. And Deanna De'Liberto is an election integrity captain in Guilford County, North Carolina. And she's at the top of the volunteer recruiter list, and she's the top in her state. And, uh, Deanna, I appreciate it very much. It's fantastic.

Donald Trump 00:06:36-00:07:00 (24 sec)

And North Carolina is a great place. It's just a great -- I won it all three times. I won most of them all three times. And Joshua Mastin in Naples, Florida, has knocked on over 65,000 doors. I hope your hand is OK, Joshua. Wow, that's a lot of doors. And never says no to an opportunity to volunteer. And you're all doing an incredible job.

Donald Trump 00:07:00-00:07:42 (42 sec)

Joshua, that's incredible, that what you're doing, that is. I hope you're using something artificial to use, not your knuckles, but, uh, you are doing -- everyone tell me what a great job you're doing. So when the polls close on November 3rd, we wanna let everyone know that we left nothing -- you know, the athletes say, "I lost. I left nothing on the field. We left nothing." I felt that way. My first election, I felt -- I say, use that term -- I left nothing on the field. We were told we couldn't win, and then we won. And I was expecting -- I don't know, I didn't know what to expect. You never know what to expect in politics, but, uh, we ended up winning.

Donald Trump 00:07:42-00:08:09 (27 sec)

I -- I didn't understand why would, like, Hillary Clinton win when we were doing rallies and getting 40,000, 50,000 people. She was doing rallies, and she couldn't get 200 people. And then I'd say, would they say we're down a little bit in the polls? Well, we showed them, and we showed them again the second time, but we -- it was a COVID period, and it was a pretty sad situation with the polls, with, uh, with everything.

Donald Trump 00:08:09-00:08:41 (32 sec)

It was pretty sad because we did great. But we did really good the third time, and it was something, it was record-setting. We've won virtually every state in a record. Florida, we have the all-time record for any election ever, uh, in Pennsylvania, in Texas, in Oklahoma, in Alaska, in, uh, I think there are 36 states where we not only won, but we have the record vote in the history of the state, of any kind of vote, presidential, gubernatorial, any of them.

Donald Trump 00:08:41-00:09:00 (19 sec)

So when the polls close on November 3rd, we wanna know that we did indeed leave nothing on the table. I felt that way after the first, second and third. And you feel a lot better about yourself when that's the case. Even now, I'm working, you know, I'm not running per se, but I want people to pretend I'm running.

Donald Trump 00:09:00-00:09:21 (22 sec)

I tell them, "Pretend I'm running." But I'm, uh, out every night. Here I am with you tonight. Last night I was in Texas. I was in Oklahoma before that. I was -- I'm all over the place, going to Michigan, but I'm leaving nothing on the table. We gotta really give it a shot to win the midterm. We gotta do it because we don't want anything to happen to what we did.

Donald Trump 00:09:21-00:10:06 (45 sec)

We've done unbelievable things, you know them all. But we have the strongest border in history. We have the biggest tax cuts in history. We have the biggest regulation cuts in history. Uh, we have the least crime in 125 years, the lowest number of murders since year 1900. So I could go on all -- all night, all day, but you would, uh, you would say, "Let's get this guy off the phone immediately. This is ridiculous." But we've done things that nobody can do. And that's why I'm asking everyone here to go out and recruit five people and direct them to magamajorityforce.com. And don't wait. Do it now and get it done. And I just wanna thank everybody. You are such a special group of incredible people.

Donald Trump 00:10:06-00:10:32 (26 sec)

Someday, somebody on this phone is gonna end up being president. Maybe two people is -- are gonna be president, but that's where it all emanates from. That's where it all comes from. Oh, I just wanna thank you all. It's been an honor to be working with you. Many of you have been on my first two campaigns, and this is, uh, well beyond my third because we did so well in the third, but in a way, you could view this as my fourth campaign.

Donald Trump 00:10:32-00:10:53 (21 sec)

But -- and we never did this before. We never worked much on the midterms. This one we're working very hard, and I think we're gonna have a big victory come November 3rd. So please, uh, enjoy yourselves. Love our country. Love your God. And I will see you all. And, Joe, I'll give it back to you. Joe has been with me from the beginning, by the way.

Donald Trump 00:10:53-00:10:59 (6 sec)

He's one of the most outstanding, one of the most talented people in politics. And I wish you a lot of luck, Joe. Go get 'em.
