Exactly one week away from the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Governor Kay Ivey channeled former President Ronald Reagan’s iconic call to action when asked how Alabama would benefit under a potential Trump or Harris administration in Washington.

“My favorite president, President Reagan, once asked the famous question,” Ivey said, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”

“If you ask most Americans, they’d say ‘No.’ And it’s also important to remember that we have two campaigns, two folks in the White House that we can compare one with another. And I think for sure: Trump stands out for being successful. He’s had success, prosperity and security.”
