5. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Barrow, The Associated Press:
“Gruters will be a major partner with the White House for fundraising with JD Vance, serving as the RNC’s fundraising chief. Gruters will work closely with the vice president there. He’s also going to be heavily involved in building what is called the election integrity operation. That’s especially important in Republican politics because Trump himself has been the lead voice. Questioning the honesty and integrity of US elections.”

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Bill Barrow, The Associated Press:
“Pushing the envelope and making clear how important it is to Republicans to have that army of lawyers, poll watchers, people who watch votes being cast, watch ballots being counted, and ultimately end up challenging some parts of that process or even the results themselves. Joe Gruters is now Donald Trump’s front man in building that election integrity operation.”
