Donald Trump Says He Will Campaign in Georgia December 5

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he would campaign in Georgia Saturday, December 5, to help Republicans in the Senate runoff election.

“I’m going on Saturday night. I’ll be in Georgia. We’ll have a tremendous crowd,” Trump told reporters after speaking to members of the Armed Forces in a teleconference call.

The White House clarified after Trump’s remarks that he would campaign in the state on Saturday, December 5.

Both Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler face a runoff election on January 5, as Republicans try to hold on to their Senate majority.

“Maybe I’ll go twice. That’s very important that we win those races. These are great people,” Trump said.

Trump described Perdue’s Democrat opponent, Jon Ossoff, as a “lightweight” and Loeffler’s opponent, Raphael Warnock, as “either a communist or a socialist. I cannot figure that out yet.”

“This is not for Georgia,” Trump said.

Trump said that he warned Perdue and Loeffler of the voting system in the state of Georgia.

“Listen, you have a fraudulent system. You have to be very careful,” he recalled telling them.

Trump said that because of the coronavirus pandemic, he would probably host an outdoor rally in Georgia, most likely at an airport.

“They’re looking for the right site,” he said.

Trump disputed a reporter’s assertion that this was his last Thanksgiving in the White House.
