Rep. Stephanie Bice said her comments about “Trump fatigue” and the midterms were taken out of context, while acknowledging that some voters are frustrated and urging Republicans to focus on policy and support their nominees.
Bice told News 9 that her remarks about voters who might reject a candidate because they dislike him were general observations, including about Oklahoma’s gubernatorial race. She urged Oklahoma Republicans to unite behind nominee Mike Mazzei and said she believes Democrats’ platform is incompatible with Oklahomans’ preferences.
Bice acknowledged that some voters feel important issues are being overlooked and said media coverage and social media could contribute to fatigue with a second-term president. She also criticized the proposed renaming of Lake Ontario as unhelpful and said lawmakers should emphasize work including tax cuts for working families, border security and passage of the Laken Riley Act.
