Trump rallies in Georgia as polls show the president is "underwater" in Georgia, Obama comes to town, Early voting numbers
On this week's Political Breakfast, we start with President Donald Trump's latest rally in Dalton over the weekend, and another Trump rally set for Saturday in Macon. Trump keeps saying that voters should pretend like he’s on the ballot when they think about voting in 2026. This comes as the latest poll from the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the University of Georgia shows Trump's approval ratings remain "underwater" in Georgia. If Georgia’s Republican candidates attach themselves to Trump and MAGA policies, will that help or hurt them with voters? Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson weigh-in with host Lisa Rayam. Plus, former President Barack Obama is coming to town to stump for Keisha Lance Bottoms and U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff. And we're in week 2 of early voting with historically high voter turnout. A note of disclosure: Tharon Johnson is an advisor to the Keisha Lance Bottoms campaign, and Brian Robinson is an advisor for the Rick Jackson campaign.
