Riley Lewis talks with Wambsganss in the wake of Historic 2024 Elections
The day after the historic 2024 elections, Leigh Wambsganss, the dynamic leader of Patriot Mobile Action (PMA), joined Riley Lewis on Turning Point on One America News Network (OANN) to provide a fresh, in-depth analysis of the election results and their implications for conservatives, particularly in Texas, where Wambsganss’s grassroots mobilization efforts have been transformative. With the election results still fresh and the political winds shifting in real-time, Wambsganss wasted no time offering her perspective on what the results meant for the future of conservatism and what they signaled about the mood of the American electorate.
The State of Texas: A Ground Zero for Conservative Mobilization
Wambsganss, a seasoned political strategist and advocate, is no stranger to the trenches of Texas politics. As leader of Patriot Mobile Action, she has worked tirelessly to organize conservative voters, amplify their voices, and ensure that the Lone Star State remains a stronghold for conservative values. Texas has long been regarded as a bellwether for national elections, and in 2024, it proved no different. Wambsganss highlighted how pivotal Texas was in the context of the broader election, particularly regarding voter turnout and the demographic shifts that have made Texas a battleground for national politics.
“Texas is a critical state not just for the GOP but for the future of America,” Wambsganss explained. “The influx of new voters, coupled with the shifting demographics, has made it a challenging but ultimately winnable battleground. At Patriot Mobile Action, we’ve worked to engage voters who may not always feel represented, and that’s where our efforts have been most impactful. Our focus has been on voter education, outreach, and ensuring that conservative Texans know their voices matter.”
As Wambsganss spoke, it was clear that her focus on grassroots organizing in Texas, which included targeted efforts to reach underrepresented communities, had played a key role in shaping the 2024 elections. By mobilizing Hispanic voters, suburban women, and rural conservatives, PMA helped ensure that Texas remained firmly in the red column in 2024, even as the national landscape shifted in surprising ways.
Shifting National Landscape
While Wambsganss’s expertise lies in Texas, she quickly expanded the conversation to include national trends. The 2024 elections were historic, with deep divides emerging on key issues such as abortion, the economy, and national security. The results, according to Wambsganss, were a clear reflection of the growing divide between the political elite and the average American voter.
“The results from across the country point to a realignment of values,” she noted. “Voters are tired of the status quo. They’re tired of being told that their concerns don’t matter. The election outcomes tell us that issues like inflation, crime, and the erosion of American values are top of mind for everyday Americans, and they’re looking for leaders who will stand up and protect their way of life.”
One of the most striking elements of the 2024 election was the massive turnout in key battleground states, which many analysts had expected to favor Democratic candidates due to growing urbanization and younger, more liberal voters. However, Wambsganss suggested that despite these shifts, conservative values were resonating in ways that even she hadn’t anticipated.
“I think the key takeaway from this election is that America isn’t as left-leaning as the media likes to portray. There’s still a core of people in this country who believe in traditional values—family, faith, and freedom—and they’re not going to let those values slip away without a fight,” Wambsganss asserted. “We’re seeing that in Texas, and we’re seeing it in places like Florida, Ohio, and other parts of the Midwest.”
The Power of the Conservative Movement Post-Election
One of the most compelling aspects of the interview came when Riley Lewis asked Wambsganss how the conservative movement should move forward after the results. Wambsganss emphasized the need for unity within the GOP, acknowledging that while the 2024 elections saw some losses for conservatives in certain areas, there were also significant victories that should be built upon.
“After this election, it’s time for Republicans to come together—not just as a party but as a movement,” she urged. “We’ve seen a clear mandate for common-sense policies that prioritize the American people over the political elites. Whether it’s standing up to woke culture, restoring fiscal responsibility, or defending our borders, conservatives have a lot of work ahead of them. But we’ve also got momentum.”
She went on to stress the importance of voter outreach and education, especially in communities that may feel left out of the political process. “We need to reach out to people who feel disillusioned by the political system and show them that there is a party that cares about their needs. Whether they’re in a small town in Texas or a suburb in Michigan, we have to engage them where they are, listen to their concerns, and offer practical solutions.”
The Road Ahead: Patriots for the Future
As the interview came to a close, Wambsganss made it clear that while the 2024 elections may have been a wake-up call for some, the fight is far from over. With the growing influence of grassroots organizations like PMA and the passion of conservative voters across the country, she believes that the future of conservatism is bright, despite the challenges ahead.
“At the end of the day, the American people want leaders who will fight for their families, their communities, and their country,” she concluded. “That’s what PMA is about. We’re going to keep pushing, keep organizing, and keep defending the values that make America great. The future is conservative, and we’ll do everything we can to make sure it stays that way.”
Wambsganss’s appearance on Turning Point provided viewers with a unique perspective on the election results, combining her deep knowledge of Texas politics with a broader understanding of national trends. Her passionate call for continued conservative engagement and unity resonated strongly as the nation looks ahead to what promises to be a pivotal next few years in American politics.
