HARRIS FAULKNER (ANCHOR): Alright, let’s get to this, thirty-nine days we are now away from the midterm elections, and Americans are fed up with the crime crisis. I was just talking about it, we’re going to need all hands on deck, because a lot of those blue cities right now are a dangerous mess.
…
REP. JIM JORDAN (R-OH): Look, I think, don’t vote for anyone who’s not willing to be tough on crime. Don’t vote for anyone – I don’t care what party they are – don’t vote for anyone who’s not willing to say you should be able to choose where your son or daughter goes to school, who’s not for school choice. Those are sort of fundamental things that I think families across this country get. They want safe streets, they want good schools, and they would like the choice to decide where their son or daughter is going to get the best education. Where their son or daughter is going to be safe. Those are fundamental issues in this election, and I think in 39 days when people walk in, they’re going to remember that, and they’re going to vote for conservatives and Republicans.
FAULKNER: And you’re already seeing early voting, and people are going. So you know, the numbers of people who are in the lane of, they haven't quite decided yet, those numbers are still relatively high in some places, but they’re coming down because people are already casting their votes. And if they're doing it now, and they’re experiencing this, they may be following your lead on who protects you best.
