With almost a month until Georgia voters decide whether Republicans or Democrats control Congress’s upper chamber, Donald Trump shared a tweet that asked “why bother voting for Republicans?”

The US president shared the post on Monday as he continued to attack Republicans’ commitment to the electoral process and an election he will not concede, despite two crucial Senate elections next month.

“Why bother voting for Republicans if what you get is [Doug] Ducey and [Brian] Kemp?”, said the tweet, which was written by conservative commentator Carmine Sabia, and shared by the president, a Republican.

 

His remarks come as voters are set to decide between two Republicans or two Democratic challengers to take Georgia’s seats in the US Senate, and possible control over the upper chamber in Congress, in 35 days time.

Mr Trump, who plans to campaign in the battleground state this weekend, has appeared to have turned against Republicans as his election defeat continued to become near-impossible to undo.

And despite the two crucial senate races, Mr Trump delivered attacks on Georgia’s governor, Mr Kemp, as well as Arizona’s governor, Mr Ducey, who was alleged to have “put a Democrat in office" as the state confirmed election results, and Mr Trump’s defeat to Mr Biden, on Monday.

On Sunday, the president told Fox News he was “ashamed” to have backed Mr Kemp’s 2018 campaign to become governor of Georgia, and that the Republican had “done absolutely nothing” to question the state’s election results, despite repeated — and baseless — allegations about election fraud by Mr Trump.

Republican donors and strategists told the Associated Press , however, they were concerned that Mr Trump’s attacks on Republicans would persuade people not to vote in the Senate races, and that “Trump’s comments are damaging the Republican brand”, as Republican donor Dan Eberhart, described.

Still, the president told supporters they should back senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler against two strong Democratic opponents, who have pushed Georgia’s Senate elections to the wire, with no candidate securing a 50 per cent majority on 3 November.

Republicans need only one seat to reclaim control over the Senate, while Democrats need both Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock to take the Senate to a tie, which would then be decided by president-elect Kamala Harris.

The real story.....

 

Trump urges his supporters not to boycott Georgia runoff elections in January

President Donald Trump urged his supporters Friday not to boycott two Senate runoff elections in Georgia in January that will determine which party has control of the chamber.

His tweet comes after Politico reported Thursday that his continued attacks on Georgia's electoral system have disillusioned his voters and caused some to call for a boycott of the vote.

In addition, Politico reports that some of Trump's most ardent supporters on Twitter and the conservative-learning social media platform Parler are accusing the two Republican candidates up for election — Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue — of being "insufficiently pro-Trump" and complicit in the voter fraud conspiracies.

On Friday morning, Trump retweeted a Newsmax story about a potential boycott of the Georgia vote. In his tweet, Trump tried to walk the line between continuing to push fraud claims while still rallying the vote.

"No, the 2020 Election was a total scam, we won by a lot (and will hopefully turn over the fraudulent result), but we must get out and help David and Kelly, two GREAT people," he tweeted. "Otherwise we are playing right into the hands of some very sick people. I will be in Georgia on Saturday!"

Since election day, Trump and prominent Republican officials have attempted to cast doubt on the electoral process in Georgia. An audit of the election, which required a hand count of all ballots, reveals that president-elect Joe Biden won the state by about 12,000 votes. The Trump campaign has since filed for a machine recount of the vote tallies, which is not expected to significantly change the vote total.

The Trump campaign and other Republicans have even gone as far as to personally pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger not to certify the results of the election. Raffensperger even said he received a call from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, who encouraged him to purge legally-cast votes from the record.

On Wednesday, Raffensperger published an op-ed in USA Today in which he described Trump "throwing him under the bus" despite voting for him and donating to his campaign. During an interview on Thanksgiving evening, Trump called Raffensperger an "enemy of the people."

Trump has said he will be campaigning on behalf of Loeffler and Perdue in the month leading up to the runoff elections. Loeffler will square off with Democrat Raphael Warnock, and Perdue will face Jon Ossoff in the Jan. 5 election.
