Internet weighs in as Fox News host Jesse Watters says Donald Trump needs to 'rally independent voters' to win 2024 election

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On his Fox News primetime show, Jesse Watters contended that former President Donald Trump must mobilize independent voters to secure victory in the 2024 election. 

Following the show, the host took to X (formerly Twitter) to share his take with his followers. 

Fox News' Jesse Watters says Donald Trump has to aim for the independent voters

Fox News host Watters took to X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, "The general election started last night- Trump vs Biden. But one woman is standing in the way. Is this a Nikki Haley movement or a mirage?"

He continued, "Either way, it’s set to be a messy month for Trump and Republicans. Trump’s task is to unite the party and rally the independents. Democrats, in the meantime, are saying they have to save democracy by slaying the dictator. How are they going to do that? Apparently by not campaigning for president."

During his monologue on 'Jesse Watters Primetime', the anchor said, "The general election started last night. Trump versus Biden. But one woman is standing in the way: Nikki Haley. So, the revenge tour will be making a slight detour through South Carolina."

Watters added, "Is 'Nikki Mirage' a little sabotage? Because how much of the Haley vote is a vessel for Democrats? And how much of the Haley vote is a vessel for never-Trump Republicans? I'm sure Nikki has a small faction of earnest Republicans."

He opined, "We don't doubt that. But we won't know the truth for a month. In between New Hampshire and South Carolina, Nikki and Trump will be getting their licks in at each other while Biden hides and expands his war chest. So that means it's going to be a messy month for Trump and Republicans. What's the Nikki strategy?"

"Well, the theory is that East Coast kingmakers, or queen makers rather, with deep pockets, will be financing Nikki through Super Tuesday so she can collect enough delegates to leverage herself onto the ticket," further stated Watters. 

The Fox News host noted, "Now, the bankrollers will be using blunt force trauma to the head to create Republican Party unity and tee up Nikki for VP. And then POTUS in '28. This is a long shot for a lot of reasons." 

He continued, "We get it. We don't need to get into all of it, but it's all moot. If Trump can blow Nikki out so spectacularly in the Palmetto State, the donors get alligator arms. Nikki loses her juice, and then she limps into the convention as an insurance policy in case Trump's court cases throw us a curveball."

"So here's Trump's task: unite the party like he did in 2020, when 94% of Republicans turned out. Biden did the same thing, 95% of Democrats turned out then. But a quarter of the country are Independents. Now, last time, both Biden and Trump came to that election with equal bases," conjectured Watters. 

The anchor asserted, "But Biden won Independents by 13 points, and that was the difference. So Trump now has to unite his party with charm, a little muscle, and an air of inevitability and then rally the independents. Well, how does he do that? Policy."

Watters concluded, "Trump dominates Biden on every major policy issue: economy, immigration, crime, foreign policy. So if Trump stays calm and stays on message, he wins because Democrats won't be talking about policy this election. It'll be racism, personality, and dictatorship."

Internet weighs in on Jesse Watters' remarks about Donald Trump needing to rally independent voters

Soon after Watters posted a clip of his show on X (formerly Twitter), netizens left comments with their views regarding the current situation. 

One wrote, "Nikki is so over, to continue she just verifies what voters have told her, she is not president material." Another opined, "The party is united. 70% of Nikki voters are dems or non republicans." 

"Trump is doing better this time," remarked a person, while someone else said, "She’s now irrelevant. That will take care of itself!! Trump should move forward like a champion and ignore her!!" 

An individual quipped, "Those democrats really have confidence in their imperial leader! Looks like even the five Biden supporters know Biden can't beat Trump without CHEATING 81,000,000 votes." 

One more inquired, "Do Independents truly believe that Nikki is anything but another puppet politician who has been bought and paid for to do nothing more than dance for the highest bidder?"
