Overview
- Trump urged Republicans to vote for Jones, speaking to thousands on a Wednesday tele-rally before the May 19 primary.
- The endorsement targets a race where businessman Rick Jackson holds a slight lead, with one poll showing Jackson at 32% and Jones at 25%.
- Trump said he supports Jones for his stands on crime, taxes, job growth, and election rules, stressing a goal to keep Democrats out of the governor's office.
- Jones pointed to his business and legislative record and his long ties to Trump, noting past support in 2016 and 2022, and he was not indicted after a 2020 election probe.
- Early voting runs through May 15 in Georgia, giving both campaigns a short window to sway turnout before Election Day.
