A campaign graphic with a blue-to-red gradient background and a thin white border frame. Bold white headline text at top announces John James as the Republican nominee for Governor of Michigan, with a red banner stating he is endorsed by President Trump. Below the text are two photos: a serious/scowling older white man with blond/gray combed-back hair, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and blue tie (resembling Donald Trump), positioned on the left; and a smiling Black man with short dark hair, wearing a dark suit, white shirt, and red-and-blue striped tie, positioned on the right (resembling John James). At the bottom center is a "TRUMP VANCE" logo with five stars above and below, and the tagline "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" beneath it.

I've been saying this forever about this guy. He is one of the toughest, most resilient human beings that I have ever met in my life. And let me tell you what, everybody wants to act like a tough guy, right? Everybody wants to act like a tough guy. Well, when the shit goes down, you find out who tough guys are and who tough guys are not. This guy is the legitimate, ultimate American bad ass of all time. You know, the guy takes a shot at him, he goes down, he stands up and then he starts chanting to the crowd and you know, fight, fight, fight. I literally was blown away. I called him as soon as I landed. I called him and he answered and he was already home from the hospital and we talked for like 30 minutes. Pat, I'm telling you, I have never known a human being like this in my life. He is literally one of the toughest, most bad ass guys of all time.

So how much power, and we're talking about influence here, do they have on the GOP, especially over the long run? - Yeah, over the long run. That's what I think is so important here. And it's not just about Donald Trump. It's about the Make America movement. Again, that's what we're talking about. Make America Great Again movement. And it is as powerful as it has ever been because I want you to take a look here. GOP who view MAGA favorably. Two years ago when Donald Trump was running for term number two, it was 74%. Today, look at this, it's 78% of Republicans who view the Make America Great Again movement favorably. So we're talking about something that, in my opinion, will very much be able to outlast Donald Trump. Trump is in term number two. He can't run for a term number three, but the bottom line is this. What he brought into the GOP looks like it's going to last long beyond him. - It's a very populous movement. I am curious because J.D. Vance would then be the next standard bearer of this movement. Where is the GOP on how they feel about him? - Yeah, okay, so obviously J.D. Vance, the Vice President of the United States, at this point looks like a favorite for the Republican nomination come 2028. And one of the reasons why he looks like a favorite is because the Republican base loves J.D. Vance. What are we talking about here? Someone who really represents the Make America Great Again movement. This is somebody, a year ago, his favorable rating among Republicans, 81%. Latest market university law school poll, look at this. 84%, 84%, so if anything his favorable rating is somewhat up from where it was a year ago, after a year of Trump, and of course that matches what we see when it comes to MAGA, right? It matches what we see coming to MAGA, whereby it was 74, and now it's 78%. If anything, MAGA's grip on the GOP, and it seems like the next in line to be the next standard bearer of MAGA, both of them, their favorable ratings are actually up after a year of Donald Trump's second term.
