LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In a recent appearance on 'Fox & Friends,' South Carolina Lt Governor Pamela Evette expressed her views on the primary loss of former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.

Evette emphasized the need for a proven leader, particularly highlighting concerns about the safety of children and the state of the country under the current administration.

Her comments reflect a sentiment among women, particularly mothers, who, according to Evette, desire a return to the leadership of former President Donald Trump.

Safety concerns and the call for proven leadership

Pamela Evette began her remarks by addressing the heightened concerns among mothers about the safety of their children. She asserted that, in the eyes of many women, their kids are less safe today than they were four years ago under the Trump administration.

Citing the recent tragic incident in Georgia, where a mother lost her daughter, Evette expressed her heartfelt sympathy while highlighting the need for concrete actions to address the safety concerns affecting families nationwide.

Evette stated, "You know, I'm hearing that from women across all different sectors, because you're a mom, I'm a mom, we talk about that all the time. And what I'm hearing from moms is our kids are less safe today than they were four years ago under Donald Trump. And that is making women very uncomfortable in wanting the former president back in power today."

She continued, "And, you know, as moms, as women, we want to make sure that our kids are safe and that they have a future. And they know that Donald Trump has proven to do that in the past, and they want that again. Well, again, I think it's because women want a proven leader right now."

Bidenomics and domestic issues

Pamela Evette also criticized the economic policies of the current administration, commonly referred to as "Bidenomics." She pointed to rising gas and food prices as indicators of a failed economic strategy.

According to Evette, the impact on the daily lives of American families is significant, with some expressing uncertainties about filling their gas tanks or affording groceries.

The Lt governor emphasized that people are seeking practical solutions to everyday problems that affect them directly. She argued that the focus should be on addressing issues such as lowering gas prices, securing the border, and ensuring that the American dream remains within reach for future generations.

Evette highlights Trump's appeal to women by addressing economic and safety concerns

In this context, Evette positioned former President Donald Trump as someone who addresses these concerns and resonates with women who are increasingly taking notice.

Evette expressed, "Bidenomics has been a colossal failure. We have gas prices up. We have food prices up. From the first time I'm hearing people say, 'I don't know if I can fill up my whole tank because I have to go to the grocery store.' And that's what people want to hear. How are we going to get our gas prices down?

"How are we going to stop this invasion at the border? How are my kids, you know, is the American dream. You know, my grandparents were Polish immigrants. How are we going to get that American dream back within the reach to our children? And that's what they want to hear about. And that's what President Trump is talking about. And women are taking notice."
