Donald Trump has been making baseless allegations of vote rigging in last month’s presidential election.
The US president addressed a rally in Georgia on Saturday – his first time defeating a Democrat opponent. Joe Biden – To collect votes for two Republican senators.
David Perdu and Kelly Laufler will face a run-off on January 5, but Mr. Trump Much of his 100-minute speech focused on himself and his accusations.
“They cheated and rigged our presidential election, but we will still win. And they are trying to rig this election as well,” he told a crowd in Valdosta.
The crowd responded: “We love you!” And “Four more years!”
Mr Trump added: “Let them steal Georgia again, you will never see yourself in the mirror.
“If you don’t vote, socialists and communists will win,” he said. “We can fight for the presidency and elect our two great senators, and we can do it at the same time.”
Republicans need a victory to retain a majority in their Senate and to retain the power to block Mr. Biden’s legislative agenda. Democrats control the House of Representatives and need to win both seats to win the Senate.

Mr. Trump’s claims about Georgia’s voting system, however, have worried some Republicans who fear voters say the system is so rigid that there is no point in voting.
Mr. Trump briefly praised Ms. Loffler’s support for coronavirus relief and Mr. Purdue’s military spending, but it wasn’t long before he returned on his own.
He listed his own electoral achievements – some real and some imaginary, such as his “victory” in Georgia, despite Mr Biden taking the state by more than 12,000 votes.
The state accounting, which includes a review of about 50 million ballots, found no significant irregularities.
Even the crowd found it difficult to focus on the optimists in both senators, chanting “fight for Trump” in some of their speeches.
Earlier, Trump spoke by phone with Georgia Governor Brian Camp to have a special assembly session and an audit of signatures on absentee ballot envelopes in the state.
But Mr. Camp has no power to interfere in the election process.
The two also argued with Trump on Twitter that they would “easily and quickly win Georgia” if Mr Kemp “allowed simple signature verification”.
Mr Kemp said he had “publicly called for a signature audit three times” but Mr Trump said it was not good enough, adding: “Your people are refusing to do what they say. What are they hiding? “
