In front of a crowd in Georgia, former President Donald Trump encouraged voters to support former GOP Sen. David Perdue, who is running for governor against Republican incumbent Brian Kemp.
Trump said that Georgia is a red state and encouraged the crowd to get rid of the “phony politicians” currently in office.
“A vote for David Perdue is a vote to save Georgia, and really, it’s a vote for this country, because we have to have honest elections,” he said.
“I happen to think that Georgia is a very red state,” Trump said. “I think it is red as hell. I think they cheated. They cheated at a level that people haven’t seen before, but I think it’s a very red state.”
The 45th president added that the stakes for Herschel Walker, a GOP Senate candidate in the Peach State and former star running back, are also high. Trump encouraged voters to support both Perdue and Walker in an effort to save the state and country from “radical Democrats.”
In addition to endorsing Perdue for governor, Trump supported Jody Hice for secretary of state, Burt Jones for lieutenant governor, and Vernon Jones for Congress.
Perdue appeared as the last speaker before Trump and blasted Kemp for “selling out” Georgia over an “absolutely stolen” election.
“[Trump] knows I’ve been fighting alongside him all the way,” Perdue said. “And I’m fighting right now to find out what happened in 2020 and make sure that those people responsible for that fraud in 2020 go to jail.”

While speaking in the battleground state Saturday night, Trump also slammed the Left and called for an end to COVID-19 mandates.
“Another top priority when Republicans take back Congress should be to pass a bill immediately terminating every single COVID mandate,” he said. “No more lockdowns, no more restrictions, no more hysteria, and no more masks, please, finally. We don’t want our children going to school in masks.”
