Coming to you live from an airport hangar in Voldesta, Georgia, for tonight’s Trump rally, the first since he lost the election. The wifi password suggests what the theme might be tonight as the president campaigns for two Georgia senators

*Valdosta. It’s been a long day already

The My Pillow guy, Mike Lindell, is here. Doing an interview with OANN

"Macho Man" is now playing for the second time since I got here

Air Force One has landed. Trump should be speaking soon

And so it begins

Crowd begins chanting “four more years”

Trump’s talking about his wins in Florida and Ohio

Trump: "The great pollster, John McLaughlin"

Big boos for Gov. Kemp and Pennsylvania

Trump, on trying to overturn the election: "I've probably worked harder in the last three weeks than I ever have in my life. Doing this."

Trump says if he lost, he'd accept it: "I'd go to Florida, I'd take it easy."

But he doesn't think he lost.

(States that have already certified results equal to more than the needed 270 Electoral Votes for Biden to win)

Now the crowd is chanting "CNN sucks" after Trump complains about how his plea for suburban women to love him was covered

Trump addresses calls from some allies for his supporters not to vote in the special elections: "We have to do just the opposite, we can't do that."

Trump seamlessly transitioning from mocking Beto O'Rourke for a magazine cover to promoting the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett

"I shouldn't be doing this for them, it costs too much money," Trump says, seemingly joking, before playing a video criticizing Georgia Democrats

Trump attacking mail-in ballots now.

The video board at the rally called on voters to request their absentee ballots before he arrived

Trump is calling for changes to the electoral system. Crowd boos loudly when he mentions "Dominion"

Trump shows the rally a bunch of Newsmax clips of debunked election fraud claims. Some in the crowd turn around and start shouting at the press area

"That's real news!" one man shouts

"This is bullshit!" another yells

And that’s a wrap

New Quinnipiac poll of likely voters:

Does having Trump as president make you feel more or less safe?

More: 35%
Less: 50%

Would you feel more or less safe under Biden?

More: 42%
Less: 40%

poll.qu.edu/national/relea…

This is fascinating.

Asked to describe the nation's economy, 60% say it's either not so good or poor

But asked about their own financial situation, 72% say it is excellent or good

75% say racism is a big problem in the US

Biden says Trump "is stoking violence in our cities"

Biden: "I want to make it absolutely clear ... rioting is not protesting, looting is not protesting, setting fires is not protesting."

"All of this is lawlessness, plain and simple."

Says people who do it should be "prosecuted."

BIDEN: "Ask yourself, do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters?"

Harris:" I’ve fought for children, and survivors of sexual assault. I’ve fought against transnational gangs. I took on the biggest banks, and helped take down one of the biggest for-profit colleges."

"I know a predator when I see one."

Harris says her vision of the country is one "where we may not agree on every detail, but we are united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect."

Harris continued: "Donald Trump’s failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods."

"If you're a parent struggling with your child’s remote learning, or you’re a teacher struggling on the other side of that screen, you know that what we’re doing right now isn’t working."

The backdrop for Obama's speech

Obama says "at minimum, we should expect a president to feel a sense of responsibility for the safety and welfare of all 330 million of us — regardless of what we look like, how we worship, who we love, how much money we have — or who we voted for."

Obama: "For close to four years now, [Trump's] shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends ..."
