**Editor**: Jamie, thank you for joining us. Donald Trump recently tweeted urging voters to stay in line if they are in queue by the cutoff time. What do you think motivated this message?
**Jamie Lawson**: Thank you for having me. Trump’s message underscores his continued influence and engagement with voters. With the midterm elections approaching, he’s likely trying to mobilize his base and ensure they feel empowered to participate in the electoral process, especially given the controversies surrounding voting access in recent years.

**Jamie Lawson**: Extremely significant. Social media platforms serve as crucial channels for political figures to communicate directly with the electorate. Trump’s social media presence allows him to rally support instantly, and it seems to be working as evidenced by the increase in his online followers. This direct line of communication can galvanize his supporters right before pivotal elections.
**Editor**: You mentioned the increase in followers on his accounts. Could you elaborate on how this could impact his political capital going forward?
**Jamie Lawson**: Absolutely. Growing a following on social media can translate to increased visibility and influence. For Trump, more followers mean a larger platform to disseminate his messages, rallying his supporters and potentially swaying undecided voters. A strong online presence is invaluable, particularly for political campaigns that capitalize on grassroots movements.
**Editor**: With Trump encouraging people to vote and stay in line, do you think this could influence turnout in key battleground states?
**Jamie Lawson**: It certainly can. His followers are highly motivated, and a message like this can serve to energize and reassure them.
