Overview
- President Donald Trump spoke Wednesday at Wheeler High School in Marietta to promote the White House's newly launched 'Trump Accounts' program.
- The administration says the program makes every child under 18 eligible, gives a $1,000 federal seed to children born during a second Trump term, and allows parents or employers to contribute up to $5,000 a year.
- Gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson and U.S. Rep. Mike Collins joined the event, which the White House framed as policy-focused even as it served as a high-profile appearance for Georgia Republicans.
- Local activists and the Cobb County Democratic Committee organized protests and criticized the use of a public school for the event, while school officials said they welcomed the opportunity to showcase students.
- Some Georgia Republicans warned that the president's repeated election-fraud claims could lower GOP turnout in closely contested statewide races, a concern made sharper by Cobb County's recent Democratic voting record and polls showing Sen. Jon Ossoff ahead of his challenger.
