Donald Trump said Tuesday night that the federal minimum wage must be raised, and promised to implement a $10 per hour wage if elected president.

“I would say $10,” Trump told Fox News host Bill O’Reilly when asked about the specific figure he would recommend. “But with the understanding that somebody like me is going to bring back jobs. I don’t want people to be in the $10 dollar category very long. I believe it should be raised.”
