President Donald Trump was in Georgia\u2019s Cobb County on Wednesday, diving into one of the nation\u2019s most closely watched political battlegrounds where Republicans are looking to flip a Senate seat in November.<\/p>\n

The president and the GOP were hopeful his remarks at what was ostensibly an official White House event on the economy would boost Republican candidates in the Peach State with less than four months before the November midterm elections. Those candidates include Rep. Mike Collins, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff, who\u2019s seen as a potential 2028 presidential contender.<\/p>\n

About 40 minutes into the Marietta rally, Trump called Ossoff \u201cterrible\u201d and compared him with actor \u201cPinky Herman,\u201d an apparent flubbed reference to comedy character Pee-wee Herman portrayed by Paul Reubens.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Ossoff and the congressional Democrats voted against securing our border. They voted against our massive tax cuts that you have. They voted against the Trump accounts for your children. They want to raise your taxes by a lot, not lower than we lowered your taxes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Ossoff and the Democrat communists want to let the Marxists into power, bankrupt your families, and leave you totally undefended with wide open borders,\u201d he added. \u201cBut we will not let that happen to our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates Ossoff\u2019s reelection race a \u201cToss-up.\u201d A June 27-30 poll by data and research firm Wick found the Peach State\u2019s senior senator at 46.7 percent to Collins\u2019 42.9 percent among likely voters. <\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s task Wednesday was to help Collins, who, according to Wick\u2019s analysts, needs to \u201cchange how voters compare the candidates\u201d on qualities such as costs, families and a Georgia-first message. Ossoff\u2019s shift toward that messaging \u201cappears to be registering,\u201d the analysts noted.<\/p>\n

Instead, speaking in a solidly conservative district, Trump told the crowd that Collins has \u201cgot the whole package\u201d and \u201cwould bring so much \u2014 they call it pork, we call it money \u2014 but he\u2019ll bring a lot of action back to your state.\u201d<\/p>\n

As is typical, the president did not stick to the economic message script. He began the event by criticizing alleged creeping \u201ccommunism\u201d from democratic socialist candidates, the Biden administration\u2019s chaotic exit from Afghanistan, and hailing the risky military and law enforcement operation he ordered in Venezuela \u2014 a country that he contended \u201cis now working with us to produce millions and millions of barrels of oil.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once he leaned into what polls show is most voters\u2019 top issue, affordability, he blamed the previous administration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey tried to blame high prices on me. So, particularly, when I inherited this thing on Jan. 20, [2025], we had the highest inflation in many, many years. \u2026 I had nothing to do with it,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery day, we\u2019re fighting to put more money back in the pockets of the hardworking American families.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that\u2019s why, with the help of our incredible Republican majorities in Congress, we\u2019ve done so much. I proudly signed the great, big beautiful bill delivering the largest tax cuts in American history,\u201d he added, reflecting a recent GOP-wide messaging shift on last year\u2019s sweeping tax and spending law to emphasize its tax cuts and focus less on its new spending.<\/p>\n

But minutes later, Trump had switched to talking about his contentious White House ballroom project. He gave only a few minutes to the event\u2019s advertised topic \u2014 his government-seeded investment accounts named after himself \u2014 to tepid applause.<\/p>\n

There have been few, if any, differences between Trump\u2019s public campaign stops and his policy events over the course of his rollercoaster second term. Wednesday offered more examples of that blurred line, as rally tunes such as \u201cNovember Rain\u201d by Guns N\u2019 Roses played loudly inside the high school gymnasium.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The facility\u2019s scoreboard read 45-47, a reference to Trump being the nation\u2019s 45th and 47th president, and the times out and fouls boxes read, in order: 2-0-2-6.<\/p>\n

Trump did hit on his emerging midterms attack line, warning to \u201cU-S-A!\u201d chants that some progressive Democratic candidates were \u201ccommunists\u201d who, if elected, would bring \u201cabsolute squalor and turmoil and death.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Georgia stop came one day after a Politico report, citing sources close to the White House, described Trump as not all that interested in the midterms. Trump \u201cdoesn\u2019t care about anything beyond SAVE, Iran, and the ballroom,\u201d a White House ally told the news outlet, referring to the SAVE America Act, a GOP-crafted elections overhaul bill.<\/p>\n

Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn said in the Capitol earlier Wednesday when asked if he thinks the president appears disinterested in November\u2019s congressional races: \u201cThat\u2019s my impression, yes.\u201d (Cornyn lost a Republican primary in May to Trump-backed state Attorney General Ken Paxton.)<\/p>\n

But Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, the Republican Conference vice chair, said moments later that he saw Trump as \u201cvery passionate about the midterms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump did, however, complain near the end of his Marietta event about the Senate being unable to clear a 60-vote threshold on the SAVE America bill, directing criticism at Senate Majority Leader John Thune.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody call John Thune at the Senate. He\u2019s the leader of the Republican Party. And tell them to get this stuff approved,\u201d he told the crowd.<\/p>\n

\u2018President\u2019s delusions\u2019<\/h2>\n

Trump\u2019s criticisms of Ossoff came as the senator has emerged as a leading voice in opposition to his \u201crigged\u201d 2020 election claims.<\/p>\n

During a July 15 hearing, Ossoff repeatedly asked Jay Clayton, the president\u2019s nominee for director of national intelligence, who won the 2020 election. Ossoff eventually said to Clayton: \u201cIsn\u2019t it humiliating to be unable to answer this question, to have to indulge the president\u2019s delusions?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Democrats view Trump\u2019s fixation on the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, as a winning issue. Trump in Georgia urged rallygoers to \u201cwatch those [voting] machines\u201d and told them to make the midterms \u201ctoo big to rig.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ossoff and other Democrats have sought to frame Trump\u2019s claims as an attempt to relitigate past elections \u2014 and possibly meddle in future ones \u2014 rather than trying to address voter concerns over high prices, health care costs and the president\u2019s Iran war.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s one person who committed election fraud in Georgia, it\u2019s Donald Trump when he dialed up our state\u2019s senior most election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and tried to bully him in a recorded phone call to \u2026 find the exact number of votes Donald Trump needed to win in a state that he had lost,\u201d Ossoff told CNN on July 15, referring to the aftermath of the 2020 race.<\/p>\n

The president on Tuesday was asked whether his administration would move to punish China, which he accused during a July 16 primetime address of trying to \u201cinfluence\u201d the 2020 U.S. election. He mostly demurred ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping\u2019s planned visit later this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to talk to them about it. It took place a long time ago. I think China is maybe a little bit different today than it was then,\u201d he said in the Oval Office. \u201cBut look, they do things. \u2026 It\u2019s not a one-way street.\u201d \u201d<\/p>\n
