News broke Tuesday evening that Trump had brokered a deal to prevent Carrier from moving 1,000 jobs to Mexico, and Maynard told “Fox & Friends” host Steve Doocy that he’s unbelievably grateful for Trump’s intervention. (RELATED: Trump Reaches Deal With Carrier To Keep 1,000 Jobs In America)

“I would like to tell him thank you for going out of your way and taking your time away from your family, working on the Carrier and employees’ deal,” Maynard stated. “Sticking to your word and going to bat for us all at Carrier and keeping our jobs here. I’d like to thank him and Mike Pence for doing it so quickly.”
Maynard added that he hadn’t expected “an announcement for three or four weeks, and we’re what? Two days from the meeting with them, and they’ve already made their announcement?”
“I’m very excited and would like to thank both of them personally and shake their hands hopefully tomorrow.”
