President Trump is calling on Georgian’s to get out and vote ‘red’ in order to keep the Senate majority for Republicans.
At his rally in the state on Saturday, the President urged his supporters to vote for Republican candidates Sen. Kelly Loeffler and Sen. David Perdue. He said if they don’t win, the socialists and communists will.

“Very simply, you will decide whether your children will grow up in a socialist country or whether they will grow up in a free country,” President Trump stated. “And I will tell you this, socialism is just the beginning for these people. These people want to go further than socialism…into a communistic form of government.”
He noted that even if the left plans to steal this election, Republican voters still need to turn out in droves to steer the vote in their favor.
“You must go vote and vote early starting December 14,” the President emphasized. “They cheated and they rigged our presidential election, but we will still win it. They’re going to try to rig this election, too.”
President Trump went on to praise Loeffler and Perdue. He called them the “last line of defense” for democracy in America.
“These seats are the last line of defense to save America and protect all that we have accomplished,” the President said. “You know we’ve accomplished things that no other President has accomplished and I did it with these two people.”

Finally, President Trump closed by assuring Americans the best is yet to come.
“Proud citizens like you helped build this country and together we are taking back our country,” the President said. “Our fight to drain the Washington swamp and reclaim America’s destiny has just begun.
He added, “We will not bend… and we will never back down.”
The upcoming runoff election will decide if Republicans hold control of the Senate as Georgians cast their ballots on January 5.
