Roy Blunt: Trump should look forward, not back

Blunt said Wyoming voters “are going to decide if there is a place” in the house for rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), One of the leading Trump critics in the Republican Party.

Looking forward to a potential Trump bid to take back the White House, Blunt offered some targeted advice.

“He can be a candidate if he wants to be. But again, I think what President Trump could do that would be most helpful right now would be focus on the policies that are not working,” Blunt suggested. “His policy at the border worked, his regulatory policy worked, his tax policy worked. But we can see that the policies of Democrats with these narrow majorities they have are not working.”

“I hope that’s where he’s focusing, but I can not control his time or his comments,” Blunt said.

And Blunt also addressed the debate on the law on the right to vote.

He characterized the Democrats’ efforts to pass the law on voting rights as a federal override.

“There are 10,000 electoral jurisdictions out there in America,” the senator said. “The federal government that decides how elections should be conducted in all 10,000 of these jurisdictions is a bad idea … One of the strengths of our system is that the diversity of the system itself and the state and local responsibility to conduct an election that people trust. “
