DALTON, GAPresident Trumps final rally as chief executive, at the Dalton Regional Airport in Northern Georgia served two purposes. Officially, Trump was here to stump for Republicans in Tuesdays Senate runoffs. But this rally was also a way for Trump supporters to travel back in time, to a day when the coronavirus wasnt infecting one out ten people in this small town, to a moment before Trump lost his bid for re-election.
The Victory Rally, as it was called, was held the night before Georgias Election Day, and two months after Trumps general election loss, simultaneously premature and too late. But in Trumps eyes and in the eyes of some of the attendees of this rally, its not too late for Trump.
Theres no way we lost Georgia, were Trumps first words. I had two elections and I won both of them. When Trump first mentioned the Republicans who will be on the ballot on Tuesday, the crowd responded with its first chant of the speech, Fight for Trump.
Trump stood onstage under floodlights on the airport tarmac, where Marine One cinematically landed behind four enormous American flags. But looming larger than his aircraft was the shadow of Trumps phone call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, complaining about the election results. On the call, Trump pleaded with Raffensperger to find him 11,780 votes. There are now calls for a federal investigation and an official complaint to the Georgia Board of Elections.
