In Georgia, Trump’s shadow looms over pair of Senate runoffs

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — President Donald Trump won’t be on the ballot in January when Georgia voters settle two Senate runoffs that will determine control of the U.S. Senate. Florida Sen. Rick Scott campaigned Friday with Perdue and Loeffler and told an enthusiastic crowd in suburban Cumming, north of Atlanta, that he’d “talked to the White House just before I came.” Scott, incoming chairman of Senate Republicans’ campaign arm, said the president wants his supporters to know he “loves Georgia” and “remains optimistic” about his prospects in a looming recount. “He’s the dominant figure in Republican politics,” said Josh Holmes, another McConnell ally, adding that many GOP voters are “uniquely accessed by President Trump who are difficult to turn out” for Republicans otherwise. “It’s just a matter of who goes and gets them to vote again.” Debbie Dooley, a national tea party leader and early backer of Trump’s 2016 candidacy, is leading a rally Friday at the Georgia Capitol to show support for the president’s lingering legal challenges to the presidential election — a matter that she insists is more important than the Senate runoffs.
