President Trump rallied Georgians on Saturday and
encouraged Republicans to vote in two Senate runoff races that will determine
which party controls the upper chamber of Congress.
"We’re gathered here tonight to ensure ... that
David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler win the most important Congressional run-off
probably in American history," Trump said, highlighting the uniqueness of
a state holding two runoff elections with such national implications.
"You have to get out, you have to vote, you have to
make sure you have every vote counted," the president said, before
detailing some of the alleged issues impacting his own election in the
state.
Control over the Senate has taken on extreme importance
for Republicans worried about Democrats having control over both Congress and
the White House. Democrats have threatened to pack the courts, end the
filibuster, grant statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, and would likely pass the
Green New Deal and other crippling legislation if given the chance to do
so.
The president said he remains committed to pursuing legal
challenges regarding the Nov. 3 election, telling rallygoers that he will
ultimately emerge as the winner of the presidential election. The president
also said Democrats will attempt to cheat in the upcoming Senate runoffs.
"And they're going to try and rig this election
too," said Trump, as the rally chanted "stop the steal!"
President Trump has been critical of Georgia Republican
Gov. Brian Kemp's and Sec. of State Raffensperger's reluctance to aggressively
pursue claims of voter fraud in Georgia. On Saturday, the president repeated
his calls for a signature audit of ballots in the state.
