Trump again tears into Georgia’s Republican governor as he campaigns in the state
LA TimesFormer President Trump railed against Georgia Gov. Former President Trump picked a new fight with Georgia’s Republican governor as he campaigned in the key swing state, where he’s looking to avenge his 2020 loss — a defeat he continues to blame on GOP officials based on his false claims of election fraud. “And there are signs Donald Trump is feeling it.” The Harris campaign issued a statement before Trump’s rally that predicted the former president would “likely ramble about crowd size, deny the 2020 election results” and “dedicate approximately zero time to discussing real solutions for the American people.” Trump’s Republican allies have urged him to focus on issues where they see an advantage over Harris, notably the economy and immigration. After Biden beat him in the state by 11,779 votes in 2020, Trump pressured Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, to “find” enough votes to change the outcome. Regarding Trump’s rants against Kemp, Erick Erickson, a prominent conservative radio host in Georgia, said: “He can’t help himself.” “Donald Trump is really trying to build unity in Georgia by attacking the sitting Republican Governor whose ground game he will need to win and also that Governor’s wife,” Erickson wrote on X.
