Trump Returns to Georgia Ahead of Key Presidential Election
ATLANTA, GA – Former President Donald Trump made a significant return to Georgia on Monday, participating in a faith summit and rally just over a week before the pivotal November 5 presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris. The state’s 16 electoral votes are considered crucial, prompting intense campaigning from both candidates and their supporters.
Trump began his visit at a Powder Springs church, engaging with prominent evangelical leaders, including Paula White and Jentezen Franklin. He concluded the day with a spirited rally at Georgia Tech’s McCamish Pavilion, where he emphasized his campaign promises, including economic improvements, restrictions on transgender women in sports, and a crackdown on undocumented immigrants.
"The United States is an occupied country, but it will soon be an occupied country no longer,” Trump declared, while making headlines for disparaging comments aimed at Harris, whom he labeled “low-IQ” and a “threat to democracy.” He also criticized several political figures, including Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
The mood in the arena was upbeat, as Trump expressed confidence following strong early voting turnout in Georgia. He urged his supporters not to become complacent despite favorable indicators, drawing a parallel to sports where teams falter in the final moments.
As of the rally, over 3 million Georgians had already cast their votes. Polls suggest a closely contested race, with Trump holding a slight advantage. In response, Democratic figures, including former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, warned that Trump’s agenda would hurt working families, presenting Vice President Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as leaders who will champion progressive policies.
Early voting remains open through Friday, with Election Day approaching rapidly. For more information on voting, Georgians are encouraged to visit the state’s My Voter Page.
