Overview
- Trump is set to speak on the economy and affordability in Rome after touring a local factory, with the venue reported to be Coosa Steel.
- Early voting is underway for the March 10 special election in Georgia’s 14th District, where a large field makes an April 7 runoff likely if no candidate wins a majority.
- Trump has formally endorsed District Attorney Clay Fuller, testing his sway in a race that also features Republican Colton Moore and Democrat Shawn Harris.
- The White House frames the trip as part of a broader effort to bolster Republicans before the midterms, even as recent polling shows weak approval of Trump’s economic stewardship.
- Georgia remains a focal point in election disputes after federal agents seized Fulton County ballots in late January, and Trump has continued to repeat false claims about the 2020 result while suggesting he could deploy the National Guard to Atlanta without announcing any action.
