In a sign of how Republicans are on the defense in the final weeks of the 2020 campaign, President Trump is set to make a stop in Georgia, a once reliably Republican state where polling has tightened in a number of key races.
Dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic is hurting him in the state — which saw a surge in cases over the summer — especially with suburban women, a demographic with whom he is struggling nationally. In a Quinnipiac poll of Georgia released Wednesday, 54 percent of respondents said they disapproved of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic, 55 percent said the virus was out of control and 59 percent said they did not trust Trump to tell the truth about his health.
Residents looking to vote early in the state have seen long waits — including over 10 hours on the first day in certain precincts — which officials blamed on the check-in system. Georgians faced similar lengthy delays in June’s primary, spurring calls for reform. “As angry as we should be about the injustice and the voter suppression that is on display in Georgia, we should be extraordinarily pleased that people are willing to fight back and to make their voices heard, despite the challenges they face,” Abrams said on CNN Tuesday.
The top Democratic candidate is the Rev. Raphael Warnock, the pastor of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, who recently earned the endorsement of former President Barack Obama. Democrats — including Abrams, who’s also endorsed Warnock — have urged Matt Lieberman, the son of former Connecticut senator and vice presidential nominee Joe Lieberman, to drop out of the race to allow support to consolidate behind Warnock, who has topped 40 percent in a pair of recent polls.
ABOUT TO LOSE THAT ONE ALSO.

Trump Simply Loves the Creative Way California Republicans Are Suppressing VotesThe Republican Party is likely to succeed in their effort to propel Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, but it might be their only big win this fall if President Trump loses re-election to Former Vice President Joe Biden. National polls remain bleak for Trump, and Biden is leading in several vital battleground states. Desperate times call for desperate measures, which is probably one reason why Trump is defending a California Republican group that set up private ballot drop boxes marked “official.” Surprise: It’s fucking illegal. I think it’s time for an expose on Trump’s kid. To be only fair you know. Why only go after Hunter? It looks like someone needs to put them on the dinner plate now. Just an idea.
