President Trump has found something to be worried about and it is not North Korea or his golf game, as the Special Election in Georiga’s 6th Congressional District has members from the top to bottom of the Republican Party concerned.
The Republican party has historically won this district since the 1970’s, but this year’s primary will pit all the candidates, regardless of their party affiliation, in a free for all. If no one is decided as the clear winner, the runoff will occur between the two highest vote receivers. Party affiliation will not be a factor during the runoff.
Democrat hopeful Jon Ossoff is a former congressional staffer and not a fan of the President. He has raised over $8 million for his campaign. According to WSB TV, Ossoff is averaging approximately 42 percent of the vote.
Trump has tweeted about the race four times in the last 24 hours as if Ossoff is the new Obama.
Republicans must get out today and VOTE in Georgia 6. Force runoff and easy win! Dem Ossoff will raise your taxes-very bad on crime & 2nd A.

Democrat Jon Ossoff would be a disaster in Congress. VERY weak on crime and illegal immigration, bad for jobs and wants higher taxes. Say NO

With eleven Republican candidates running in Georgia (on Tuesday) for Congress, a runoff will be a win. Vote “R” for lower taxes & safety!

The super Liberal Democrat in the Georgia Congressioal race tomorrow wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes!

Trump’s concerns are more than what he is tweeting as he attempts to distract us from his right hand. A victory for Ossoff will deal a symbolic blow to Trump’s nascent administration and signals that voters are getting tired of him and his party’s shenanigans.
In regards to our President, Democrats can quote three words we say to another as a comfort and as a reminder, “Things Always Change.”
