Several congressional Republicans agree with Donald Trump that their party needs to overhaul its economic sales pitch ahead of November’s midterm elections as the president is expected to hit the campaign trail Thursday in Georgia.
Trump on Monday evening confirmed that his visit to Rome in the state’s northwest would be campaign-heavy. The 14th District is hosting a special election next month to elect a successor to former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who resigned in January after a public falling-out with the president.
“We have a lot of people that want to take Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Greene’s place,” he told reporters traveling with him on Air Force One, using a derogatory nickname for his onetime ally. “And they say whoever I endorse is going to win.” Trump has already thrown his support behind local prosecutor Clay Fuller in the crowded primary field.
