Trump says 'I don't want to wait till 2024' to run for president again, harps on rigged poll at Georgia rally
It seems like President Donald Trump needs to reassess the information he gives the public during his rallies. At the recent Saturday night rally in Georgia for Republican senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, which the POTUS called "the most important congressional runoff probably in American history", he continued harping on the many baseless claims and stated that he won the this year's election. "You know we won Georgia, just so you understand," he said. Trump made his way to Georgia to "ensure" that the two Republican Senators win.
"They cheated and they rigged our presidential election, but we will still win it," Trump claimed during the rally. "And they're going to try and rig this [Senate] election too." His speech lasted for more than 90 minutes, throughout which he falsely claimed that he won the state. In reality, however, president-elect Joe Biden beat Trump by just under 12,000 votes in the state. At the rally, the president was accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, for the first time since the election day. In response to the president's claim about the Georgia win, supporters cheered: "Stop the Steal!" Two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, spoke before Trump took to the stage. However, there was no mention of Trump's loss in Georgia. Perdue said, "If we win Georgia, we save America."
For most of his speech, which was littered with small snippets about the Senators, the President claimed that he actually beat Biden in Georgia. "If I lost, I would be a very gracious loser," he told the crowd. "If I lost, I would say 'I lost', and I would go to Floria, and I would take it easy, and I would go around, and I would say I did a good job." The POTUS added, "this election was rigged," before saying "we can't let it happen" to Loeffler and Perdue. "We're going to fight and win those seats and make sure you get a fair and square deal in Georgia," Perdue said. "We have a job to do here, Georgia," Loeffler said. "America is counting on us … if you don't vote we will lose this country."
Trump told the crowd about a possible second term as the president. "I don't want to wait 'till 2024. I want to go back three weeks."
