In interviews on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and ABC’s “This Week,” Priebus defended Donald Trump’s decision to use his final days to pitch himself to voters in states like Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania that are typically considered unfriendly territory for GOP presidential candidates.
Priebus says Trump isn’t using a traditional playbook because he’s not a traditional candidate. He told CBS, “we have got a candidate that appeals to a lot of voters that haven’t engaged in a long time. And he actually appeals to a lot of folks in the Midwest.”
