‘They’ll Do Anything to Cheat’– President Trump in First Rally Since Election
A huge crowd attending the “Victory Rally” at Valdosta Regional Airport chanted “Stop the Steal!” as President Trump told them that Democrats will “do anything to win. They’ll do anything to cheat. These people are sick…And remember the swing states we’re all fighting over…I won by a lot. But you can’t ever accept when they steal, and rig and rob.”
Trump also brought up a viral video of suitcases of ballots in Atlanta on election night and challenged Georgia officials to do something about it.
The rally was to show his support for Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler who are seeking re-election and facing runoff races. Even though they won the majority of the vote in their races on Nov. 3, they needed more than 50 percent to avoid a runoff.

Leading up to the rally, Perdue tweeted that Trump “knows that NO ONE can sit this election out. It’s too important, and we MUST hold the line in the Senate. Looking forward to having him down in Georgia on Saturday!”

The Georgia Senate runoff races are already heating up with some big-name supporters.
Vice President Mike Pence was there Friday for a briefing on the coronavirus vaccine and then to rally voters for the GOP Senate candidates.
Pence attended a coronavirus briefing at the CDC’s Atlanta-based office then took part in a rally for the Republican candidates. “We’re going to save the Senate, and then we’re going to save America,” he declared.
Former president Barack Obama hosted a virtual rally for the two Democrat challengers. Obama voiced frustration he felt during his presidency when the Republican-controlled Senate stopped certain proposals.
“If the Senate is controlled by Republicans who are interested in obstruction and gridlock, rather than progress and helping people, they can block just about anything,” he said.
Democrats hope their candidates, Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, can flip Georgia’s two senate seats in their runoff races against Perdue and Loeffler. That would leave the Senate with a 50-50 tie between Republicans and Democrats, and the next vice president of the United States would be the tiebreaker.
Republicans need at least one of those seats to guarantee their majority.
Joe Biden tweeted on Friday, “Georgia – our work isn’t over yet. Register to vote by December 7th and lets flip the Senate.”

Trump also tweeted “the best way to insure a Loeffler and Perdue victory is to allow signature checks in the presidential race, which will insure a Georgia Presidential win.”
The best way to insure a @KLoeffler and @sendavidperdue VICTORY is to allow signature checks in the Presidential race, which will insure a Georgia Presidential win (very few votes are needed, many will be found). Spirits will soar and everyone will rush out and VOTE! @BrianKempGA

But accusations of compromised election security and voter fraud in the general election has led some Republicans to call for an election boycott.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel encouraged voters last Saturday to vote for the party’s Senate candidates next month, despite their feelings that the race is fixed.
Early voting begins on Dec. 14.
