The outgoing 74-year-old president and his wife Melania Trump will appear at an election rally at the Valdosta Regional Airport in southern Georgia.
Organizers from the loyal Republican stronghold of Lowndes County have promised a packed program. Trump is expected to speak at 20 o’clock local time (02 o’clock Swedish time), according to The Guardian.
Georgia, in the southeastern United States, has an electoral system in which a candidate for Senate must receive more than 50 percent of the vote to be elected. That limit was not reached by any candidate in the November 3 elections.
Therefore, there will be a second and decisive reelection on January 5. Seated Republicans David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler (who have been replacements since Johnny Isakson resigned for health reasons) are being challenged by Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively.
Strange video
Influential Republicans are quietly warning that the president’s presence in Valdosta could hurt both party candidates.
Trump has by no means calmed down on his allegations of voter fraud, which may mean Republicans won’t go to vote when they don’t trust the electoral system.
On Wednesday, Trump posted a 46-minute video on Facebook that some political analysts in the United States consider something of a record of strangeness. He commented on unpublished evidence of voter fraud that allegedly benefited Joe Biden and claimed that “fraud on an unprecedented scale” had taken place.
Decide everything
The January election will be fateful because it determines the balance of power in the United States Senate.
If the Democratic candidates, Ossoff and Warnock, win, the situation in the Senate will be 50-50. In that case, Democrat Kamala Harris will have a casting vote as vice president.
The House of Representatives and the Senate set the framework for the power and reach of the president in the United States. For a bill to pass, it must be passed by both houses of Congress. The Senate also approves HD ambassadors, ministers, and judges nominated by the president.
Therefore, the Georgia Senate election is extremely important to both parties. Already a month before the elections, political advertising space was reserved in the media for 300 million dollars, more than 2.5 billion crowns.

Before the decisive turn of the two senatorial elections in Georgia on January 5, the position in the House 50-48 is in favor of the Republicans. Republicans must win at least one of the elections to maintain control of the Senate.
One electoral showdown is between Republican and businessman David Perdue, who has been a senator since 2015, and Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff. Perdue, among other things, has been a director of Reebok and Dollar General. Ossoff has been an investigative journalist and security adviser to House Representative Hank Johnson.
According to the latest opinion poll (from Fox News and Insider Advantage) there is a deadlock between Perdue and Ossoff, they have 49 percent support each.
The second duel is between Republican businesswoman Kelly Loeffler, whom Georgia Governor Brian Kemp appointed a year ago as a replacement for Senator Johnny Isakson (who resigned for health reasons), and local pastor and politician Raphael Warnock. Loeffler has been CEO of Bakkt finance company, whose parent company is owned by her husband, and is a partner in the Atlanta Dream basketball team. Warnock has worked to expand the state’s Medicaid health insurance program, under the ACA Health Insurance Act (also called Obamacare), and is pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta.
According to the latest opinion poll (from Fox News and Insider Advantage), Warnock has a minimum advantage of one percentage point, 49 percent against Loeffler’s 48 percent.
