President Donald Trump is in much better shape than the polls give him credit for, Rep. Robert Aderholt told Mobile radio’s FM Talk 106.5 on Wednesday.
The Alabama Republican said, “I don’t believe those polls. I don’t think they are polling correctly. They’re not polling voters. They’re just polling people that they are calling on the phone,” adding that “I think he is in much better shape than some of the liberal news media are trying to paint it as people so much against Trump.”
Aderholt insisted that “if the president stays the course, standing up for law and order, standing up for the issues, less government, then I think he can definitely be reelected.”
He emphasized that “Republicans are much more motivated to vote for Trump than the Democrats are motivated to vote for Biden... Biden, of course, is going to get a lot of anti-Trump vote. I just don’t think there are that many people that are excited about Joe Biden as a candidate.”
Aderholt also said Biden was much sharper in interviews four years ago than he is now.
“I never did agree with his politics most of the time,” Aderholt said, “but he could communicate pretty well, and he certainly was a long-time member of the Senate and vice president. So, I think when you put them side by side, Trump seems to be 15-20 years younger even though they’re a little bit closer in age than that.”
