President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign senior adviser, Jason Miller, said Sunday the United States is “on the cusp” of having a vaccine against COVID-19, and that Democrats’ “scare tactics” about the virus will “backfire” on Election Day.
In an interview on ABC News’ “This Week,” Miller said Trump voters “will show up” on Tuesday.
“We’re right there on the cusp of having this vaccine finalized and ready for distribution,” he said. “We will have it done and start distributing it by the end of the year.”
“The leadership that President Trump has shown here on getting these therapeutics developed, the vaccines — COVID is no longer a death sentence for virtually everybody who gets it,” he added.
“We have made such miraculous advancements in such a short amount of time. That's the difference between an Operation Warp Speed and being locked in the basement.”
He added that Democrats’ strategy for urging early and mail-in ballots was ill-advised.
“I think [what] is really going to backfire on Democrats and many in the media is the Democrats have spent so many months telling folks that it's not safe to go out and vote in person on Tuesday,” he said. “There's been so much media pressure effectively putting out scare tactics to keep folks away.
“Well, guess what? President Trump supporters are going to show up on Tuesday. Nothing is going to stop them. This is really going to be a vote suppression effort against Democratic voters, and I think Democrats are going to look in the rear-view mirror and say this is probably what cost us the election.”:
