Trump in Georgia falsely claims election of Jon Ossoff was illegitimate

The Guardian • • nation

Key Points:

  • At a rally in north Georgia, Donald Trump reiterated claims that the 2020 election in Georgia was fraudulent, specifically alleging that Senator Jon Ossoff's election was illegitimate, despite Ossoff maintaining a consistent lead over Republican Mike Collins in polls.
  • Trump touted his presidential record, citing stock market gains, low unemployment, poverty reduction, and unfulfilled pledges of $21 trillion in foreign manufacturing investments, while promising a $5,000 government check to voters if Republicans regain the House.
  • He discussed foreign policy, claiming credit for the overthrow of the Venezuelan government and describing the Iran conflict from his perspective, warning of Iran's threat to Israel and the Middle East, while dismissing criticism over rising fuel prices.
  • Trump asserted that no illegal immigrants have been admitted in the past 17 months, a statement criticized as misleading since undocumented migrants are rarely officially "admitted."
  • The rally, attended by around 1,200 supporters despite a delayed start and afternoon heat, included brief protests quickly removed by security, and featured Trump emphasizing merit-based policies and expressing mixed feelings about the Supreme Court.
