Trump Asked Voters Attendance to the Ballot Box
Trump asked the voters attendance to the ballot box. Trump called for support for the January 5th election.
US President Donald Trump held a rally in Georgia for the critical second round of the congressional elections. At the rally, Trump called on Republicans in the state to go to the ballot box for the election to be held on January 5th.
Before the second round of voting in the state of Georgia, which will determine the Republican majority in the Senate, Donald Trump went to the state to support Republican candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
At his rally in the state,
Trump said:
“A lot of people and my friends, say, 'We're angry about the presidential election, let's not go to the ballot box.' These are my friends, very nice people. This is almost like a protest. But if you do this, the radical left will win. This is my instinct. Yes, that many votes are stolen, You are angry because it was taken from us. We cannot do this. Actually, we should do the opposite.”
Claiming that there was corruption in the presidential election and that the election was stolen from him, Trump called on his party to prepare for the second round of the Georgia elections while the election lawsuits continue.
Criticizing Republican politicians in the state, especially Republican Governor Brian Kempt, Trump emphasized that his party did not give him the necessary support in his objection against the Georgia presidential election results, which he lost against his rival Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden with unofficial results, with 13,000 votes.
Under Georgia's law, if any candidate fails to get 50 percent or more of the vote in the Congressional elections, the election goes to the second round. In the election held on 3 November, the current senators Republican Perdue and Loeffler did not get the necessary votes, so the election was ahead of the second round.
If Perdue and Loeffler lose the election this time against Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, the majority in the Senate will be Democrats, not Republicans. Of the 100 seats in the Senate, 50 belong to Republicans, while 48 belong to Democrats. If Georgia is won by the Democrats, the situation in the Senate will be leveled and the ruling party will have a majority with the Vice President's vote.
