On Sunday, the Georgia GOP held a packed event to train poll watchers, with Chairman Josh McKoon highlighting the growing enthusiasm among voters. McKoon emphasized the importance of early voting for their base, hoping to also mobilize less frequent voters to support President Trump and the Republican ticket. “We really want to turn our base voters early,” McKoon stated. “If we can get them to vote, they will vote for President Trump and the Republican ticket.”
Meanwhile, Democratic volunteers were active in DeKalb County on Saturday, canvassing as part of their Get Out the Vote effort. Congresswoman Stacey Plaskett participated, emphasizing the importance of connecting with voters. “So many people want to know who the candidate is and why they are supporting them,” Plaskett explained.
Recent Fox News polls indicate that the race is extremely close, with surveys conducted in battleground states like Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In these states, the economy remains the most critical issue for voters.
Reflecting on the energy of Republican voters, McKoon remarked, “The enthusiasm and energy on behalf of the Republican voters is through the roof. I have never seen it like this before.”
