Holtz is a known Trump supporter, and he spoke at the Republican National Convention in August declaring Trump is a consistent winner, an outstanding leader, and he deserved to be reelected as President.
Holtz said at the time that one of the important reasons Trump has his trust is because “nobody has been a stronger advocate for the unborn."
Holtz claimed “the Biden-Harris ticket is the most radically pro-abortion campaign in history,” and “President Trump protects those lives.”
