Trump’s appear­ance in the Peach State comes as he vies with Har­ris to win Georgia’s elec­toral votes this Novem­ber. The GOP leader lost the bat­tle­ground state by a razor-thin mar­gin in 2020, and secur­ing it on Elec­tion Day will be crit­i­cal to pulling off a pres­i­den­tial vic­to­ry for both par­ties.
Gov. Bri­an Kemp (R‑GA) will not be in atten­dance, accord­ing to a report by WABE. Trump’s rela­tion­ship with the state’s top Repub­li­can offi­cial was strained after Kemp pushed back against the for­mer president’s asser­tion that his 2020 pres­i­den­tial loss in Geor­gia was invalid.
