The competition has attracted significant amounts of money, and last week, Osof alone became the highest-funded Senate candidate, collecting 10 7,107 million between October 15 and December 15.
At Mr. Trump’s previous rally in Georgia, he falsely insisted that “we win the election” and the state in particular. Mr. Trump has refused to accept a general election, and he has fired Republican election officials in Georgia, who were blue for President-elect Joe Biden, while large numbers of voters were claiming fraud and rigged elections.
On Dec. 14, Electoral College Mr. Legge confirmed Mr. Biden’s victory and filed several lawsuits challenging the failed election results in the courtroom, with Mr. Trump expressing hope that the election results would be overturned if both houses of Congress agreed to accept the results. Many key states will meet when they meet for a vote count on Jan. 6, but Democrat Mitch McConnell, the leader of the House of Representatives and Senate majority, said last week that G.O.P. Senators were told not to object to the election results when calling a joint session.
Senator John Thuen, a Republican and majority whip from South Dakota, said the attempt to throw out state election votes “just doesn’t go anywhere.”
On December 21, Thuen told reporters that he would go down like a shot dog in the Senate.
Dalton, where the Jan. 4 rally will take place, is one of Georgia’s busiest housing districts. In January, the district will be represented by Republicans Marjorie Taylor Green, Who has promoted QN conspiracy theories and is a staunch ally of Mr. Trump.
The Republican National Committee said all participants in the Dalton rally will have to have their temperatures checked, given masks that have been “instructed to wear” and have access to hand sanitizers. The rally is being held at the airport hangar, a familiar venue for Mr. Trump’s pre-election rallies.
