At a Georgia rally, President Donald Trump urged voters to support Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins and attacked incumbent Jon Ossoff. The event also featured Trump administration officials promoting the president’s economic agenda and discussing the Iran war and voting legislation.
Trump called Collins one of Congress’s most respected members and urged Georgians to vote for him, while mocking Ossoff. Collins was not at the rally, which took place as the campaign faced a large fundraising gap: Ossoff had raised more, and had more cash on hand, than Collins. The Cook Political Report rated the seat “leans Democratic.”
The rally’s broader focus was Trump Accounts, which the article describes as tax-advantaged investments for people under 18, with a federal contribution for eligible babies. Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson said he would urge Georgia to match the federal contribution if elected. Speakers also discussed the Iran war and its costs, Republicans’ economic message and Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act, which would change federal voter registration and voting rules.
