Biden, Trump trade salvos in Georgia face-off

Biden, Trump trade salvos in Georgia face-off
A defiant and bitter Donald Trump returned on Saturday to the state where he faces criminal charges for undermining the 2020 US presidential election, looking to win the battleground of Georgia as a stepping-stone to taking back the presidency.
Trump was stumping in Georgia on the same day as President Joe Biden, who campaigned in nearby Atlanta, signifying the critical role the state will play in November's general election.
In his remarks, Trump repeatedly insisted falsely he was the victim of widespread election fraud, and he blasted the Georgia district attorney, Fani Willis, who is prosecuting him for interfering with the 2020 election, accusing her of working with the Biden administration to target him.
"They're trying to take us out, and it's not going to work," Trump told the crowd at an arena in Rome, Georgia.
Biden, meanwhile, took aim at Trump for entertaining Hungary's right-wing nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban at his Florida club in recent days, accusing him of "sucking up to dictators and authoritarian thugs all around the world."
"When he says he wants to be a dictator, I believe him," Biden said.
There may not be a more hotly contested state than Georgia in the Nov. 5 general election, which swung to Biden in the 2020 election and was central to Trump's fraud claims.
Trump is expected to clinch his party's nomination on Tuesday when Georgia, along with Hawaii, Mississippi, and Washington state hold nominating contests.
On Thursday, Biden delivered a State of the Union speech laden with criticisms of Trump, accusing him of threatening democracy, kowtowing to Russia, and sinking bipartisan immigration reform.
The president, however, continues to grapple with a backlash among Democrats for his staunch support of Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza, discontent that could manifest itself in the vote in Georgia on Tuesday.
At his campaign event on Saturday, a heckler was escorted out after calling the president "Genocide Joe."
A coalition of multifaith and multiracial groups in Georgia have launched a campaign urging voters to leave their ballots blank instead of voting for Biden on Tuesday in the hope of sending a message to the White House to reconsider its support of Israel.
Trump's event was held within the congressional district of right-wing firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene, who raised eyebrows when she attended Thursday's State of the Union address clad in Trump attire was given a hero's welcome by Saturday's rowdy crowd.
"Georgia is a key state; it's a key state in this election," she said. "We're going to work as hard as possible to deliver it for Donald Trump."
As he has done in recent speeches, Trump devoted much of his remarks to the situation at the southern US border. He blamed Biden for the death of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student who was killed last month in Athens, Georgia.
A Venezuelan man who authorities say entered the US illegally has been charged in her death. Members of Riley's family attended Trump's rally, and some in the crowd held aloft her picture.
Biden mentioned Riley's murder during his State of the Union remarks. He apologized on Saturday for referring to the suspect as an "illegal."
Chris LaCivita, Trump's co-campaign manager, said Trump would continue to focus on immigration and the economy in the weeks ahead.
"I'm very confident about where we are today, where we're going to be in November," LaCivita said. "Because the issues right now aren't changing."
Biden edged out Trump in Georgia by just 0.23 percent in 2020. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and the state's top election official, Brad Raffensperger, were adamant that no widespread fraud occurred and that the vote count was legitimate despite Trump's insistence otherwise.
Prosecutors in Georgia allege Trump and his allies engaged in a conspiracy by making false statements about the election and developing a plan to disrupt and delay the congressional certification of the electoral votes. Trump denies the charges.
