Kimberly Guilfoyle: California Can Be the ‘Red Wall’ in 2018
Guilfoyle was visiting Republican campaigns in crucial races in California and appeared with Donald Trump, Jr. at an annual dinner for the California wing of the Republican Jewish Coalition, where she delivered the keynote address. Breitbart News spoke with her backstage.
“I’m very optimistic about the role of California,” Guilfoyle, a California native, told Breitbart News. “I was born and raised in this state … There’s a healthy love of capitalism and opportunity for free markets in this state, and it can transcend the social strife and political issues here.
“The people here have been [politically] suppressed in so many ways, and oppressed by political ideology, and I would love to see them overcome that.”
Republicans are defending seven seats in California that Democrats have targeted in districts that voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 but also re-elected their Republican representatives to the House.
Guilfoyle recounted a recent stop in Newport Beach to aid the re-election effort of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA), who is neck-and-neck with his Democratic opponent in the 48th congressional district.
“I said to them that all votes matter. [Republican] voters may be under the impression that their votes don’t count [in California], but their voices do matter. Get out there!”
She added that she had seen “lots of strong, robust support for what the president is doing” on her California visit.
Guilfoyle, recalling her travels through California, described feeling a revival of the glory days of the Ronald Reagan era throughout the country. “We’re feeling that again, a middle American economic renaissance.”
Now, she said, the challenge was translating that success into political victory.
“We each have to inform, and mobilize, and tag five friends who will do the same,” she said.
