Former President Donald Trump and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp returned to Georgia just days after Vice President Kamala Harris held an event in the same arena. The event was called “Save America” rally and was held in Perry, Georgia.
During the rally, Trump continued to push false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and reiterated his support for Governor Kemp’s reelection campaign. Trump also took the opportunity to criticize the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ongoing border crisis.
Governor Kemp, who is facing a primary challenge from former Sen. David Perdue, used the event to emphasize his record on issues like job creation, education, and budget management. He also highlighted his support for law enforcement and his opposition to defunding the police.
The rally came just days after Vice President Harris visited Georgia to promote the Biden administration’s infrastructure and economic policies. Harris spoke at a historically black college in Atlanta and met with community leaders to discuss voting rights and other issues impacting the state.
The dueling events highlight the sharp divides in Georgia politics, with Republicans rallying behind Trump and Kemp while Democrats support the Biden-Harris administration. With the 2022 midterm elections on the horizon, Georgia is shaping up to be a key battleground state once again.
The visit from Trump and Kemp is likely to energize their supporters and further polarize the political landscape in the state. It remains to be seen how these events will impact voter turnout and the outcomes of the upcoming elections in Georgia.
