Trump hails Georgia poll as a ‘big win,’ reasserts 2020 victory claims.
Former President Donald Trump Doubles Down on Fraudulent Claims
Former President Donald Trump echoed fraudulent claims after he and 18 others were indicted by an Atlanta grand jury this month over alleged efforts to overturn Georgia’s election results in 2020. His comments came while praising recent favorable poll numbers in the state.
In a video posted on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump confidently asserted that he ”easily won the great state of Georgia in 2016″ and received “by far the most votes in history for a sitting president.”
Trump Questions Loss in Georgia
“But shockingly lost Georgia,” Trump continued. “All this despite winning nearby Alabama and South Carolina in record-setting landslides.”
Despite facing charges in Fulton County for attempting to subvert election results, Trump persisted in claiming victory in the 2020 election over President Joe Biden, the declared winner. He even requested a recount of votes in Georgia, which confirmed Biden’s win by a margin of 11,779 votes.
“Does anybody really believe I lost Georgia? Because I don’t,” Trump defiantly stated.
Trump, known for his frequent posts about poll numbers and legal battles on Truth Social, shared a video highlighting a recent poll from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The poll showed him with a commanding 42-point lead against his main GOP challenger, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), while all other contenders polled in single digits.
“Wow. A big win in Georgia for President Trump,” he exclaimed on Truth Social. “Georgia, which is absolutely a Republican state. I have no doubt about it.”
Trump didn’t hold back in criticizing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the city of Atlanta following his indictment. Willis has filed a motion to expedite the cases of Trump and his co-defendants, aiming for a trial date of Oct. 26.
“So sad what has happened to one of the greatest places on Earth, but we will win in 2024,” Trump declared. “Georgia will lead the way. I believe Georgia is going to lead the way, and we will make America great again.”
