Voters chose to return Donald Trump to the White House because they "never lost faith in America" or his ability to fix what has gone wrong with the country during the past four years, Rep. Dan Meuser, who won his own reelection bid in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, tells Newsmax.
"Particularly in Pennsylvania [and] for our country, it was exciting," the Republican congressman told Newsmax's "Wake Up America" on Wednesday. "We certainly felt we had the momentum. Nothing was certain."
Meuser won a fourth term in the House after defeating Democrat challenger Amanda Waldman for a second time.
But he said he was with Trump for a fair amount over the weekend, and said that the former president had "great spirits" about the election, "but on the same note, he wasn't sure either. All we were doing was our best to get the best message across, to relate to the American people and people in Pennsylvania how serious these issues are and how a problem-solving leader can make a big difference."
And he said as a result of Trump's win, "we all gained a lot of faith in the American people for being informed, for appreciating the issues that lie ahead, and the challenges that we all have."
The Senate race between Republican Dave McCormick and incumbent Democrat Bob Casey remains too close to call, according to Newsmax elections partner Decision Desk HQ on Wednesday morning.
Meuser also noted that two Democrat representatives from his state appear to be losing their reelection bids, and he commented that they had "voted for the last several years with [former Speaker] Nancy Pelosi 100% of the time."
"That's not what our constituents want," he said. "We want a patriotic America… we want low taxes. We want competitive tax rates, not necessarily low, minimal regulations, and limited government. Border security is a huge issue. Huge. And both of them were voting against that."
But now that Republicans and Trump have won, "we have to prove it right," said Meuser. "We have to show that our people, our plans, our execution, our commitment to getting things done in the manner that's in the best interest, the most common sense interest of the American people. Now we have to prove it. And I can't wait for that."
Meuser added that the border may have cost Vice President Kamala Harris the win, but Trump "has a plan. He knows how to do it, and he's going to execute it."
Trump's plans, he added, will deliver a strong economy, better national security, and world stability, "and people believe that."
