Story summary

On October 16, 2026, Donald Trump held a campaign rally in Dalton, Georgia, to support Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins and gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson, aiming to boost enthusiasm among voters ahead of the November midterm elections. Despite internal party divisions, Trump’s appearance was seen as crucial for Republicans facing tough races against Democratic opponents such as former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Sen. Jon Ossoff. During the rally, Trump falsely claimed that Ossoff's election in 2020 was illegitimate, disregarding established electoral results. Former Georgia Bulldogs NFL star Todd Gurley joined Trump at the event, adding significant star power to the campaign effort.
