Former President Donald Trump brought his 2024 presidential campaign to the campus of Georgia Tech in Midtown Atlanta Monday night.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just eight days before Election Day, the Republican nominee called Georgia critical to a Trump victory over Vice President Kamala Harris on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe win this state and we win the whole ball of wax,\u201d Trump said during a rally at Tech\u2019s McCamish Pavilion to a cheering crowd waving \u201c47\u201d signs. The next president of the United States will be the 47th in the nation\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As he has throughout the campaign, Trump put an emphasis on his pledge to secure America\u2019s southern border<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe day I take the oath of office, the migrant invasion ends and the restoration of our country begins,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Trump also made some promises of more recent vintage. He said he would push for legislation offering tax credits to family caregivers and making interest payments on car loans fully tax deductible if the vehicle was made in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also vowed to cut energy prices in half during his first year in office, making America energy dependent through his \u201cdrill baby drill\u201d mantra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former president repeated a litany of criticisms of Harris as an incompetent candidate with \u201cradical left lunatic policies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, he pushed back on attacks Harris and other Democrats have leveled at him, that he is a fascist who, at age 78, doesn\u2019t have the energy to serve a second term in the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not a Nazi,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m not tired. I\u2019ve done this (campaigning) for 58 days in a row, and I\u2019m not tired, not even a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also characterized as politically motivated his indictment in Georgia last year on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t do anything wrong,\u201d he said. \u201cThey went after their political opponent, and they made me more popular.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump said he was pleased with the record-setting pace of early voting in Georgia but urged his supporters who haven\u2019t yet voted not to get complacent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGet out and vote,\u201d he said. \u201cWe can\u2019t take any chances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Trump predicted he will defeat Harris, Democrats cited the huge crowd that attended her rally in Clarkston last week as proof positive that her campaign has built energy and enthusiasm in the Peach State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Trump and (Republican vice presidential nominee) JD Vance parachute into our state, Georgians are ready to turn the page on Trump\u2019s extreme Project 2025 agenda,\u201d said Matt Blakely, Georgia rapid response director for the Harris campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
