Hello, Georgia. It is wonderful to be here with you tonight. Thank you for coming out and supporting us. President Trump continues to fight for you every single day. Do not let your voices be silenced. We must keep our seats in the Senate. It is more important than ever that your exercise your right as an American citizen and vote.
Under my husband’s leadership, our borders are safer, global terrorists have been destroyed, and historic peace deals in the Middle East have been made. Our nation is, is respected again and our allies are now doing their fair share globally. President Trump has backed the American people. And opportunities for women have expanded in our work force.
Our economy has soared and unemployment has shrunk. When a global pandemic hit the United States last January, my husband put the American peoples first. And now, under this administration, and because of our amazing medical capabilities and resources, we are closer than ever to vaccination that will save millions of lives.
Let your voices be heard, Georgia. Get out and vote for Senator Loeffler and Senator Perdue. Thank you, and God bless you and your families. It is now my pleasure to welcome the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
A very popular First Lady, I have to say. Thank you very much, and thank you, Melania. And I want to say hello, Georgia. We did a great job. You know, we won Georgia, just so you understand. And we won Florida. And we won a lot of places. [Audience chants “We love you”] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Trump warned about what will happen if Republican voters do not turn out to vote because they are upset over the result of last month’s election.
“Here’s exactly how they will change America forever,” Trump began. “The radical Democrats, if they get power, they will immediately abolish the Senate filibuster — allowing them to pass any bill they want and giving them free reign to ram through the most extreme left-wing agenda ever conceived while at the same time destroying our military through a lack of funding.”
“If these people get control, their draconian military cuts will devastate Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, and the military families all across Georgia, and we would also like to save the names of the forts, if you don’t mind, everybody,” Trump continued, later adding: “They will impose total open borders so that people can pour into our country, and they will give them free health care, free welfare, and the right to vote in your elections. You won’t ever win another election as a Republican.”
Trump was careful to note that Republicans do want immigrants to come into the United States, but that they want the immigrants to come in through the proper legal channels and, then, if they have merit that can help America. Trump also said that Democrats will implement a nationwide catch and release program for illegal aliens who have been accused of serious violent crimes, and will “install sanctuary cities all across the country.”
“They’ll confiscate privately owned firearms,” Trump continued. “They will totally cut up a thing called your Second Amendment rights.”
“They’ll make Washington, D.C., a state and many other places — guaranteeing 2, 4, or 6 additional left-wing Senators,” Trump added. “And they’ll be voting against Georgia every time, completely canceling out your voice in Washington forever.”
“They want to destroy the sanctity of the Supreme Court, the importance of the Supreme Court, the majesty of the Supreme Court,” Trump said. “They’ll terminate religious liberty, cancel free speech, and force you to fund extreme late-term abortion, and there will be nothing to stop them.”
