While speaking at a rally in Atlanta, GOP Sen. JD Vance on Monday urged Georgia voters to get out and vote as he pointed at the narrow victory for President Joe Biden there in 2020.
“So here’s the thing, we’re done with early voting in the state of Georgia, so tomorrow is the day,” Vance said, adding that it is the day to vote for change, lower grocery prices, more affordable housing, to close the border and “tomorrow is the day to make Donald Trump president of the United States.”
Early voting in Georgia ended on Friday and Republican election officials’ efforts to slow the tide of election misinformation have been hampered by deep mistrust between them and fellow conservatives.
He pointed out that Biden narrowly won the Peach State in 2020. Biden defeated Trump in Georgia by less than 1 percentage point, becoming the first Democratic presidential nominee to win the state in nearly three decades.
“So here’s the request that I’m going to make of every single person here. I want every single one of you again to get out there and vote for Donald J. Trump 10 times,” he joked, claiming that line would get him headlines for voter fraud.
“The legal way to vote 10 times is to get your friends to the polls and take yourself to the polls and get nine of your friends and family to go along with you,” he said.
Vance also hit Harris over the Biden administration’s policies, using dark rhetoric to describe immigration in Georgia, before also making a call for unity, saying “to not discard lifelong family relationships” or friendships “because people vote the wrong way.”
He added, “in two days, we are going to take out the trash in Washington, DC, and the trash is named Kamala Harris.”
