What is causing Donald Trump's support to collapse in Georgia?
absolute exuberance and enthusiasm for Democrats in Georgia while Donald Trump is collapsing in Georgia. Donald Trump's latest approval in Georgia from The Economist, net negative 27. May I repeat that? Donald Trump's approval in Georgia right now net negative 27 according to a reliable pollster the economist the first video i just shared with you though was the enthusiasm and exuberance there at a rally that took place this weekend for the democratic governor candidate keisha lance bottoms and the democratic senate candidate John Ossoff. This looked like a presidential rally to me, folks. And this follows the primaries where Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Georgia governor Democratic primary. Democrats got more votes than Republicans did overall in the primaries, despite all of the MAGA billionaires throwing their money into Georgia.
Democrats won both the early vote amount as well as the day of vote amount.
How did Keisha Lance Bottoms perform in the Democratic primary?
Pretty, pretty impressive stuff. And you see Donald Trump there just absolutely flailing in Georgia. Remember Donald Trump's most recent appearance in Georgia where he said the following? Play this clip.
Tariffs. Tariffs. Can you believe it? He said tariffs. And I gotta be before a court. Can you believe it?
What factors contributed to Democratic enthusiasm in Georgia?
This is like men playing in women's sports. Transgender for everybody? I have a new one to add. Voter ID. The Democrats don't want to give us voter ID because they want to cheat.
Because then you have all of these MAGA candidates in Georgia in both the Senate runoff and in the governor runoff, which has taken place on June 16th. They're out there saying, Donald, we need your ballroom. Donald, we want to help you with your J6 weaponization fund for the January 6th insurrectionists. Donald, what can we do to help you stock trade more? You want to do 4,000 stock trades?
What are the implications of Trump's net negative approval rating?
You want to do 5,000? You did 3,800 in the first quarter, one every nine minutes. How can we help you, dear leader? Watch what they were saying at some of these Republican Senate debates in Georgia.
It's wild. Here, play this clip. And I think just from a fairness standpoint, if you're unfairly targeted, we should look into being able to reimburse you. And as on the ballroom issue, Jeff, that, you know, the ballroom is going to get paid out of private money. Wow.
And then you have, just so you can see, the two candidates, these MAGAs who are running for governor.
How are the Republican candidates responding to Trump's influence?
I'll show you how CNN describes them. Let's play this clip.
The governor's race here in the Republican side in Georgia is expected to head to a runoff between Rick Jackson and Burt Jones, the state's lieutenant governor, extending this contest for another four weeks. Now, Rick Jackson is a health care executive, a billionaire who has poured $80 million into this race, flooding the state with TV ads throughout this contest. But then you also have Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones, who was a fake elector back in 2020 and was running with President Trump's endorsement. Now, one person to fall in this governor's race is the secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger. He is one of those people who had stood up to President Donald Trump when he had urged him to try to find more votes here in the state.
Now I want to bring in the Democratic candidate for the governorship of the great state of Georgia, Keisha Lance Bottoms. And Keisha, that speech yesterday in Atlanta with you and Senator Ossoff, I mean, that had vibes off the chart. So, of course, I want to talk about that.
What challenges does Keisha Lance Bottoms face in the upcoming election?
But, you know, lots of people are focusing in on Georgia right now. They saw in the primaries, in enthusiasm amongst Democratic voters there, both in terms of early vote and day of vote. Donald Trump's approval according to the latest Economist poll in Georgia is like net negative 27 in the latest Economist poll. And you have a governor there who's not providing relief really to the people when it comes to the gas prices, which are caused by Donald Trump's catastrophic war. Let's talk macro first, the environment that you're seeing in Georgia You've been in Georgia politics for a while.
