The presidential elections may be over, but the Georgia Senate runoffs remain. White House adviser and Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump traveled to the state to campaign for Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
Ms. Trump traveled to Georgia this week to campaign for the Republican incumbents that are up for reelection in January. This comes despite initial reports that Ivanka had to postpone her attendance due to the COVID-19 relief bill. Along with Ivanka, Perdue and Loeffler were also originally supposed to attend a campaign rally in Walton County, Georgia, and make an appearance in Suwanee. Perdue and Loeffler also ended up rescheduling their appearances due to the COVID-19 relief vote going on at the Capitol. However, despite the events initially reported to be canceled, a spokesperson from the Georgia Republican Party told the local news outlet that the events are still on.
Even as Ivanka showed up to make the case for Perdue and Loeffler, whose Senate seats are being challenged by Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, Ms. Trump did not mention her father’s continuous claims for election fraud. At the rally, there was also no mention of the claims and certification of results in the state. Instead, the rallies were focused on getting out the vote to other Republicans or undecided voters in order for the GOP to maintain control of the Senate.
Georgia as of late has become a political hotspot as the Senate runoffs in the state determine which party controls the Senate. Should Ossoff and Warnock win, the Senate would be evenly split and vice president-elect Kamala Harris would be the deciding vote in favor of the Democratic party. The state also happened to turn blue in the recent elections, with its electoral votes being given to president-elect Joe Biden.
Meanwhile, Ivanka also stopped by Miami to personally deliver food boxes to families under her Farmers to Families program. Even as she handed out food boxes to families at the state, she also promoted her father’s political agenda by having him call-in to speak to volunteers about his election fraud claims which have already been widely refuted.
