‘We have to have so many votes. We want this to be a landslide. That way, it is too big to rig,’ says Trump.
ROME, Ga.—The peach state’s election weight hangs heavy above the heads of the more than 4,000 people attending former President Donald Trump’s first rally after becoming the preemptive Republican Presidential nominee.
“The road to the White House comes through Georgia right now,” said Georgia’s Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. “I was with [Trump] on Tuesday night after he once again blew away all his competition with the vote count on Super Tuesday. … First thing he said to me: ‘Burt, we gotta win Georgia.”
President Trump lost Georgia in 2020 by a recorded 45.9–45.2 percentage split. The former president makes his return to the state’s northwest corner as he and 18 others faced indictments for challenging the election results.
The former president told the crowd that he still believed the 2020 election was rigged, and applause erupted as he said he would win the state a third time.
His solution is to rally the voters and cast so many votes the election can’t be rigged.
“We have to go out, and we have to swamp them,” he said at the March 9 event of beating Democrats in the upcoming election. “We have to have so many votes. We want this to be a landslide. That way, it is too big to rig.”
President Trump’s position on the last election was shared by several of the attendees and of his special guests.
“You don’t have to tell me Trump didn’t lose Georgia,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said to the crowd. “We have a job, let me tell you something, We have a job like no other going into 2024, and you all know how important it is. Georgia is a key state … in this election.”
She followed her fellow Georgian, Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.), who also shared the call to action.
He spoke with The Epoch Times and explained what he felt Republicans had to fix in order to win in November and show up for the state primary.
