Former President Trump made a series of appearances in Georgia, focusing on his economic policies and the theme of affordability as early voting continues in the state. During his visit to Rome, he defended his tariffs and pitched a plan aimed at addressing rising costs for families. Despite pushback from local Democrats and business owners, Trump claimed victory on affordability issues, drawing attention to his economic agenda and plans for the region, including a proposed deployment of the National Guard to Atlanta. His visit comes at a critical time as Republicans aim to boost their campaigns ahead of the midterms, with Trump reiterating his messaging about the 2020 election and urging party unity.
