Collins has aligned himself closely with Trump during his time in the House.<\/p><p>\u201cWe welcome anything that brings Mike Collins out of hiding and forces him to address his latest scandal, including visits from an increasingly unpopular president who has driven up costs and cut access to health care with the help of his puppet, MAGA loyalist Mike Collins,\u201d Valeria Rivadeneira-Crandell, an Ossoff campaign spokesperson, said in a statement.<\/p><p>The counterargument among Republicans is that Trump\u2019s knack for drawing low-propensity voters to the polls could provide a needed boost to Collins\u2019 chances.<\/p><p>The first Republican operative also said that Collins could benefit from the president\u2019s ability to stoke the MAGA voting base. Trump carried <span><u>a significant advantage<\/u><\/span> with low-propensity Republican voters in Georgia in 2024, particularly <span><u>in rural areas<\/u><\/span>. That advantage is harder to calculate compared to his poll numbers before Election Day, but it paid dividends in battleground states for him and his party in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>While he is not on the ballot in 2026, operatives hope his visible support for Collins in the state could still bolster turnout.<\/p><p>\u201cBut Collins is going to wear the negative of it as well,\u201d the firstRepublican operative said.<\/p><p>During the Marietta event, the president avoided the topic that makes Georgia operatives sweat most: complaints about election integrity. Just last week, the president made a prime-time address on the topic \u2014 a speech that Georgia Republican operatives were relieved didn\u2019t specifically mention their state \u2014 while his dedication to passing the SAVE America Act, a voter-ID bill, has derailed congressional Republicans\u2019 agenda this year.<\/p><p>Georgia has frequently been at the epicenter of Trump\u2019s attacks on elections. After former President Joe Biden\u2019s narrow victory in the state in 2020, Trump demanded that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger find him additional votes to flip the outcome.<\/p><p>\u201cThose issues are definitely net negatives for Republicans in the state,\u201d the first Republican operative said. \u201cA general election electorate doesn\u2019t have much patience for that.\u201d<\/p><p>Other Georgia Republicans feel it shouldn\u2019t be overanalyzed. <i>He\u2019s the president, his supporters are incredibly loyal, and his words and presence have wooed middle of the road people before<\/i>, they argue. One Republican member of the Georgia congressional delegation said as much \u2014 with an essential caveat.<\/p><p>\u201cIf he stays on message,\u201d the Republican member said, then asked of the Marietta speech: \u201cDid he?\u201d<br\/><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=1712\">South Carolina Keeps the Top Spot on the 2028 Calendar<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The president\u2019s approval rating is underwater \u2014 could he bring down their candidate in one of the country\u2019s most significant races?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1719,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-georgia"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
