During their talk, Dr. Phil also pressed the former president about his comments at a gathering of Christians last month, during which he said that they wouldn’t “have to vote again” after 2024.
Trump insisted he wasn’t implying that he would put a stop to elections.
“It doesn’t mean we’re not going to have elections. You’re going to have elections. But you have to vote this time, because we have to win,” Trump said when pressed on the subject by McGraw, claiming that he’ll “straighten everything out in less than four years, by a lot.”
“Christians, for whatever reason, don’t vote very much—you know, proportionately,” Trump claimed, without providing evidence. “NRA people, and people that feel very strongly about the Second Amendment—they’re not voters. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s a rebellious streak.”
