According to UFC fighter Colby Covington, not only is Trump going to win in 2024 “by a landslide,” but he needs to win because he is one of the few politicians in the GOP who hasn’t sold out to the lobbyists and political apparatchiks, instead remaining a man who is willing to work hard to fight for ordinary Americans, whatever doing so takes.
Covington said as much during a recent appearance on Tucker Carlson’s Tucker Carlson Encounter podcast, saying that he thinks 2024 is going to be an uphill fight for Trump but that Trump will manage to win out in the end and keep fighting for the country to put America first.
That came when Tucker asked him about the 2024 election and what will happen during it, leaving the door open for Covington to wade into both Trump’s normal electoral chances and what might be going on in the background. Tucker asked, ” What do you think is going to happen with Trump in this election?”
Responding, Covington led off with the usual laundry list of concerns from the MAGA right about America’s elections, saying, “I think he’s going to win by a landslide if it’s a fair election, but we know that they’re going to do everything they can to rig this election in any way. They did the fake COVID and all the mail-in voting last time. Which string are they going to pull next? Are they going to try and do some martial law-type stuff in America? I don’t know. We know it’s not going to be a fair election.”
Continuing, Covington then got more positive and told Tucker that he thinks Trump is willing to fight for America despite all the roadblocks in his way, saying, “But Trump is the strongest fighter I’ve ever met and the most loyal person. What President went into office and their net worth went down after being in office? He’s the only one ever.”
Contrasting Trump with other political figures, Covington highlighted Trump’s incredible travel schedule and how he does whatever it takes to jet around the country and spread his message, saying, “Everybody else, they sold out to the lobbyists and the politicians. His hard work for America is incredible. I mean, he was in Iowa one day, he was in New Hampshire the next day. He came to watch my fight. And then he was in Reno the following day.”
Covington then used that to show how much Trump loves America and is willing to do whatever it takes for the country, saying, “I mean, who’s working harder for this country than him? That’s how much he loves this country. It’s not about him or what he’s doing to advance him or his family’s name. No, he’s doing this for our country because he loves our country and he wants to put America First again.”

Slightly later in the interview, Covington contrasted Trump’s foreign policy successes with Biden’s dismal record of failure and explained that Trump can win because he knows how to succeed in the real world, saying, “We didn’t have any new wars. He had peace in the Middle East. He had Putin shaking his boots. Putin didn’t want to lose everything he has in Russia, all the stuff he works for, but it’s because he knew President Trump was a tough guy and he didn’t mess around. If you made any threats in the media or said anything, he would make sure that you’re never going to say that again. He’s a tough guy. He wrestled just the way he made it in this country. He made it through capitalism, through hard work with his bare hands. The American dream, he achieved that just because he had a vision and he put it into action. Not a lot of people can say that. Most people are bought or paid for. You got a Nancy Pelosi who’s using insider training to get rich. It’s sick. There’s a lot of treasonous people in this country, but Donald Trump is not one of those.”
