Why it worked

The video likely resonated because it tapped into a common sentiment among some Republican voters who feel alienated by Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions, presenting a relatable internal conflict within the party.

Summary

Representative Stephanie Bice expresses concern that negative sentiment towards Donald Trump is causing Republicans to consider voting for Democrats or not voting at all. She highlights a specific instance where a Republican executive admitted to "Trump fatigue," illustrating the potential for voter disengagement.

House GOPer in Private Meeting: Trump's Exhausting Our Voters “We're not helping ourselves today when we decide to rename Lake Ontario 'Lake America.'" JOE PERTICONE AUGUST 28 - PAID REP. STEPHANIE BICE (R-OKLA.)

Transcript

the challenge that we have is that we have to get over the narrative that I don't like this guy so I'm going to vote for the Democrat. And they may split ticket and vote for me and a few others. Or this is my bigger fear right now. People don't vote. I was at a board meeting yesterday with a group and what it access said to me, I'm a Republican, I've been a Republican for a long time. But I have a fan statement. You know, we're not helping ourselves today when we decide to rename Lake Ontario Lake America.
