Welcome to the program but was meant to be a rally to about 2 Senate Candidates has turned into an opportunity for donald trump to once again falsely claim that he won last months president ial election hes been campaigning in the state of georgia for republicans who are facing a runoff next month the poll will decide which Party Controls the u. S. Senate a White House Correspondent complete health care reports now from valdosta in georgia. Donald trump was not the declared winner in last months president ial vote but that didnt stop these georgia voters from attending trumps 1st postelection rally. Thousands here believe trump defeated joe biden even as the president s court cases to overturn the Election Results have overwhelmingly failed and i said joe biden stole the election won the election. By a way a slight we see all the fraud we see all of the balance there were piled up there were. Brought here in boxes and in trucks at 3 oclock in the morning and even though he agrees trump was in this Southern State to tell them to go to the polls again this time in the Upcoming Senate elections that will decide whether the u. S. Congress is controlled by democrats giving biden the ability to push through legislation but theres a new challenge for republicans some supporters say theyve lost faith in the vote and may not even show up if you go they go anyway theyve already got the votes. Probably already are fraudulent in my opinion but. Im just on the go bowden and if they dont turn a selection around or if the governor dont do something to make me change my mind. Both republicans and democrats are spending millions trying to win georgias 2 senate seats but trump insists republicans will keep a grip on the senate warning georgia voters the future of america is at stake you must go vote because its stake in this election is control of the u. S. Senate and that really means control of this country the voters of georgia will determine which party runs every committee writes every piece of legislation controls every single taxpayer dollar trump also continues to insist he defeated biden on november 3rd he claims the mail in ballots received after election day shouldnt count he cues as democrats of stealing the election and vows he will take his challenges to the Supreme Court to win a 2nd term they cheated and they regard president ial election but we will still want to we will all right a new poll shows just 25 percent of Congressional Republicans acknowledge bidens president ial win thats why his supporters are fighting to overturn poll results and to block democrats from winning again in georgia. But democrats are also fighting the day before president trumps visit here president barack obama made a Virtual Campaign appearance and president elect joe biden will also be making a visit to georgia before its january vote can really help get al jazeera valdosta georgia. To walk ins as a republican strategist and former white house aide to president george h. W. Bush he explains why the vote is so important for republicans especially the president trying. 2 republicans win the senate seats then of course it means that Mitch Mcconnell continues on the leader in the u. S. Senate and republicans control the senate which means that joe biden will d only have the u. S. House of representatives under democratic control but if the democrats win those 2 seats in georgia of course that means joe biden will control the senate with the help of kamel harris who is the sitting Vice President cast the deciding vote in the u. S. Senate and and also a Democratic House of representatives that will have the house and the senate under democratic control so d this is a very very important election from the standpoint of republicans and democrats the president is prying trying very hard to retain his base he won over 70000000 votes in the november election and the best way to retain at least a good portion that base is that going to continue the challenge or. The Election Results i dont think is going to succeed in challenging them i think this number 14 when the u. S. Electors come together they will of course elect joe biden to be the president United States but that being said dont trouble want to retain his power base in the event that he wants to run again in 2020 or for the presidency so coming into georgia is the 1st test of that and certainly hes raised over 200000000. 00 since the election about 207000000. 00 since the election so he still has had plenty of money to keep his base.
