Trump’s Georgia return tests Rick Jackson’s general election strategy
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of Trump's visit to Georgia for Rick Jackson's campaign and the challenges he faces in the upcoming election.
Greg Bluestein and Patricia Murphy examine what President Donald Trump’s Cobb County visit could mean for gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson and Senate nominee Mike Collins. They also look at Jackson’s first rally since winning the runoff, where he emphasized affordability, education and his personal story without mentioning Trump. Plus, they discuss the lingering Republican divisions Jackson must overcome and the expansive turnout operation his campaign is building for November. Have a question or comment for the show?
