Trump will rally Georgia Republicans despite party divisions in battleground state

Trump urged voters to back Collins and Jackson while repeating false 2020 election claims and a $5,000 payment promise.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia, to support U.S. Senate candidate Mike Collins and gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson, promising the crowd a $5,000 payment if Republicans win control of the House and Senate.
  • With polling showing a tight race, Collins has framed his campaign as a referendum on the Trump administration, while Jackson attempts to win Trump loyalists without alienating swing voters before the November 3 election.
  • Trump ridiculed Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff as "radical left" and blasted Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms as "an incompetent disaster," alleging Ossoff only became a senator because of a "rigged election."
  • Democrats predicted Trump's presence will backfire amid rising prices, while critics of Jackson renewed calls for him to pull an ad exploiting the 2020 shooting death of Secoriea Turner.
  • With Election Day just over two weeks away, recent surveys show neither candidate holds a major lead; InsiderAdvantage polls released Wednesday indicate Jackson leads 49% to 47%, while Wedgewood Polls show Ossoff leading Collins 55% to 45%.
