Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said Sunday he hopes former President Donald Trump \u201cputs his energy\u201d and focus on GOP victories in next year\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on NBC News\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MeetThePress\/status\/1401536575159296004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Meet The Press,&#8221; <\/a>Blunt said Trump\u2019s enduring popularity with GOP voters will be a distinct advantage.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u201c<\/b>He&#8217;s popular and\u00a0could be incredibly helpful in 2022 if he gets focused on 2022\u00a0and the differences in the two\u00a0political parties,\u201d Blunt asserted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden agenda is an agenda that Republicans\u00a0are going to be talking about,\u00a0defining themselves based on our\u00a0differences on things like what\u00a0is infrastructure.\u00a0There are a lot of things to\u00a0talk about,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think 2022 has great potential\u00a0to be an important and good year\u00a0for Republicans, and I hope\u00a0President Trump puts his energy\u00a0in that effort.<b>\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/gop-north-carolina-speech-republican-party\/2021\/06\/05\/id\/1024051\/\">speech<\/a> Saturday at the North Carolina Republican Party Convention marked a high-profile return to the campaign trail, though he focused much of the talk on election integrity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all know what happened with the election, and we can never, ever let that happen again,&#8221; Trump said.<\/p>\n<p>Blunt lamented Sunday Americans are now \u201closing faith in the election system\u201d \u2014 and backs bipartisan election reforms that have been championed by his colleague from across the aisle, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-Mo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think it&#8217;s important to\u00a0have a bipartisan belief that the\u00a0election system does what it&#8217;s supposed to do, that the results\u00a0of election day are what\u00a0absolutely happened,\u201d he said. \u201cI served for eight years as the\u00a0chief election official in my\u00a0state.\u00a0I was pleased to see Sen. Manchin have the same view \u2014 that\u00a0we need to move forward on\u00a0election reforms in a bipartisan\u00a0way. I look forward to being part of\u00a0that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blunt indicated he favors, as does Manchin, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, which focuses on updating the 1965 Voting Rights Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ll see what happens with the\u00a0John Lewis Voting Rights Act and\u00a0other issues I think we can deal\u00a0with \u2014 and deal with in a way\u00a0that&#8217;s less partisan than trying\u00a0to create political advantage\u00a0for either side,\u201d Blunt said.<\/p>\n<p><b>Related Stories:<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
