From rampant inflation, failing foreign policy and a crisis at the southern border, candidate for the Republican nomination in the second congressional district Caroleene Dobson said America was heading in the wrong direction "in just about every way possible" under its current leadership.

That's why she said it's imperative Donald Trump win back the White House this November, and she believes she's the best candidate to represent AL-2 and work alongside him in undoing the damage.

"I'm solidly behind President Trump, and we've got to get [him] back in the White House," Dobson said on a recent episode of "1819 News: The Podcast."

"That's why it's very important that — we've got to also keep control of the House. That's why this race is so pivotal," she continued. "... It's very important that District 2 not only sends a Republican, but a Republican that can work with President Trump, a Republican who hasn't been openly critical of him."

Dobson said Republicans must work together to get the country back on track.

"We've got to unify because we have got to scale back all the harm that the Biden administration has done," she said. "It's really unimaginable… It's going to take unprecedented efforts on so many levels to scale back all the damage that the Biden administration has done to this country."
