President Donald Trump visited north Georgia to deliver a speech on the economy, and was joined by several notable Georgians, including Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, football legend and former U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker, and University of Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton. All three greeted the president and joined him on stage at the Coosa Steel plant, where Trump spoke for over an hour about his economic record and reiterated his endorsements for Jones and Clay Fuller.

Why it matters

Trump's visit to a Republican-leaning district in Georgia is seen as an attempt to rally support and sell his economic agenda, as Georgia Democrats have accused him of politicizing law enforcement and pursuing conspiracy theories.

The details

At the event, Trump invited Stockton, who he called a 'big star,' to briefly speak. The president also addressed the FBI raid on a Fulton County elections hub, which Georgia Democrats have criticized as an attempt to push fake conspiracy theories.
