Finally, after speaking for an hour in front of a hangar in South Georgia, Trump came up with today’s topic: the January 5 elections that will determine whether Republicans or Democrats will control the United States Senate in the next years.
– If you don’t vote, the socialists and communists will win. Georgia patriots should come out and vote for these two amazing people.
The “fantastic people” are Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, Republicans who will defend their Senate seats in a month. And the “socialists and communists” are his democratic opponents Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.
Loeffler and Perdue was called on stage, but they played additional roles tonight.
The leading role, of course, was Trump, who spent nearly his entire hour and 40 minutes repeating false claims that he actually won the November 3 presidential election and that Joe Biden cheated.
Before his appearance, many Republicans in Georgia had expressed concern about this. If the president says that the presidential election was invalid and “decided beforehand” by forces of evil, how then can he persuade his supporters to vote in another election?
Several prominent Trump allies have, in fact, called on conservative voters to boycott the Senate elections for this very reason.
Met the lawyer and Trump supporter Lin Wood, who hails from Georgia, has spoken publicly with this message. On Saturday he repeated it on Twitter:
“With Donald Trump as president, his vice president will cast any vote in the Senate. We do NOT need to vote for Loeffler and Perdue in this rigged election.”

The logic of Lin Wood’s call is that since Trump will continue to win the election, the 50 votes that Republicans already have in the Senate will be enough, which they do not with Kamala Harris as vice president.
The Georgia Senate election is expected to be very even, and if only a small fraction of Republican voters hear calls to vote, then it could be crucial to a democratic victory.
Some counselor must They have informed Trump of this dilemma, because in the end he said:
– Some of my friends say that we should not vote because we are angry after the presidential elections. Don’t listen to my friends.
He then spent much more time insulting other of his Republican “friends” in Georgia, namely those who approved the result of the presidential election, which Trump lost by 12,670 votes to Biden.
The president’s main target is State Governor Brian Kemp, whom Trump calls a “Republican” in quotes.
Earlier on Saturday, he called Kemp and, according to Washington Post sources, tried to persuade him to convene the Georgia State Congress, which has a Republican majority, so that he can name voters who will vote for Trump on December 14.
This would be contrary to the outcome of the elections and in practice would be an attempted coup. However, Kemp is said to have rejected Trump’s proposal.
The appearance of Donald Trump in front of the hangar in Georgia was like a concentrate of his presidency.
Very little is about politics. Instead, long harangues about himself as a constant winner, peppered with false claims about the opponents’ “criminal” methods. At the same time, politicians in their own camp are branded friends or foes based on a single criterion: their loyalty to Trump.
The roughly 10,000 in the audience joined the notes, bowed to the governor, and cheered Trump’s “victory.”
And when Senator David Perdue took the stage for a short speech, his voice was drowned out by the rhythmic shouts of the crowd: “Fight for Trump!”
