Trump insists he will be the final winner of the election
The president appeared in Georgia, in the first post-election rally, to fight for the Republican vote in that key state.
US President Donald Trump again declared himself this Saturday (05.12.2020) the victim of a robbery in the elections that he lost in November, and during his first post-election rally he assured that he will be the final winner of the elections.
"We are going to win these elections," the president said before a crowd of supporters in Valdosta, in the state of Georgia. "It's rigged," he added of Democrat Joe Biden's victory.
Despite increasing cases of coronavirus across the country, few attendees at the rally wore masks and many did not respect social distancing measures.
The first lady, Melania Trump, also participated in the event, who gave a short speech before the president's intervention.
The Republican magnate traveled to Georgia to campaign in favor of the two Republican Senate candidates who will contest two elections in the second round on January 5, in an election with great national relevance.
The results will decide which party ultimately controls the United States Senate, which is why Trump chose to continue in the line of his frontal attacks on the Democrats.
"Georgia voters will determine which party leads each committee, writes each piece of legislation, controls every taxpayer dollar," he stressed.
"Very simple, they are going to decide if their children grow up in a socialist country or if they grow up in a free country," Trump launched.
Georgia, key state
Biden won by about 12,000 votes in Georgia. A recount of the votes confirmed the Democrat's victory, but that did not stop, according to the US press, Trump from calling on Saturday the governor of this southern state, Republican Brian Kemp, to ask him to pressure Georgia lawmakers with the order to cancel the result.
There is a lot of stakes in the second round of elections in this state. Former President Barack Obama made that clear at a virtual rally Friday, when he said the Georgia election "will ultimately determine the course of Biden's presidency."
If Democratic contenders Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff defeat Republicans Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, the Senate will split into two 50-member caucuses, meaning that Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris will have the deciding vote, as dictated by the Constitution.
The race has attracted enormous attention: donors from across the country have given hundreds of millions of dollars, and such prominent figures as Obama, Vice President Mike Pence - and now Trump himself - are fighting to boost voter turnout.
