Story summary

Rick Jackson, the Republican candidate for governor in Georgia, is skipping President Donald Trump’s rally in Macon on Saturday. Instead, Jackson's campaign informed the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he would "be serving as a force multiplier and rallying Republicans in Cherokee County to turnout." This decision comes despite Jackson having appeared at multiple previous rallies with Trump during the year. Meanwhile, embattled Republican Senate nominee Mike Collins will attend the rally alongside President Trump.
