long article 4 min

Donald Trump is visiting Georgia to boost Republican prospects in the upcoming midterm elections, with his team stating the focus will be on the economy and making life affordable for working people. The visit comes as Trump faces criticism for focusing on other issues, including immigration crackdowns and foreign policy. He is heading to a congressional district that previously belonged to a former supporter, where a special election is scheduled for March 10. The Georgia visit also follows the seizure of voting records in Fulton County, a Democratic stronghold, and Trump continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen, despite audits and court rulings to the contrary. Some Republicans are pushing for Georgia's State Election Board to take control of elections.
