Good morning from the Club for Growth “Save America” Bus Tour kickoff— Sarah Palin, Senator Steve Daines, and Rep. Jim Jordan are scheduled to speak here at the Cobb County GOP headquarters in Marietta, GA. Also here: Rep. Louie Gohmert, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The Club for Growth “Save America” Bus has a balcony.
Leading the pledge of allegiance is Alek Skarlatos, who launched a failed bid for Congress— Skarlatos drew attention after foiling a terrorist attack on a Paris-bound train in 2015 (Skarlatos also competed in Dancing with the Stars).
Rep-Elect Marjorie Taylor Greene greets former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in Marietta, Georgia.
Kicking off remarks, Marjorie Taylor Greene claims, “I know we’re upset about the election, I know we’re upset about the election for President Trump. We all know that Joe Biden did not win Georgia, we all know that Georgia re-elected President Trump.”
Texas Republican Louie Gohmert tells Republicans gathered at the Cobb County GOP, “We need Georgians to be Georgians, and I’m not talking about Plains, Georgia, I’m talking about real Georgia.” (Former President Jimmy Carter hails from Plains)
Rep. Louie Gohmert says he was in Valdosta, where Trump supporters interrupted Senators Loeffler and Perdue with chants of “Fight for Trump!” adds, “I think they got the message...And I’ve heard some people say, well they’re not as Conservative as you— well, we’re working on it.”
In remarks in Marietta, Georgia, Sarah Palin calls for prayers for God “to heal our land, even if we win, not just geographically and geology wise, but people wise.”
Palin praises Kelly Loeffler for supporting the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett, “And there was no waffling on that, unlike the Senator from Alaska [Lisa Murkowski], who I’m ashamed about,” praises Loeffler for voting to confirm “before the election— the rigged election.”
Asked by @ryanobles on Pelosi saying GOP has “QAnon in [their] caucus,” Marjorie Taylor Greene said “I don’t think there’s anything wrong w/ people looking things up & not believing things in the news...it’s unfair to criticize regular Americans looking things up on the internet”

We’re in Augusta, Georgia, where Senator David Perdue will rally supporters with Vice President Mile Pence ahead of next month’s Senate runoffs. Early voting in the state starts Monday.
We’re across town from Augusta National for Vice President Mike Pence’s rally with Georgia Senator David Perdue, but I don’t think this is an official shirt
Introducing his cousin, Senator David Perdue, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue, tells Republicans in Augusta, "I imagine some of you are like me, pretty sad about the outcome of the election on November the 3rd, and maybe a little mad."
Hello from the Cobb County GOP office in Marietta, GA— RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel is holding a meet & greet here with Georgia Republicans ahead of January’s runoff election. It’s about 50/50 audience wearing masks, but Chairwoman McDaniel wore one before taking the lectern.
“I am here— I am going to be in your state so much,” RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel tells supporters in Marietta, GA. “I’m from Michigan— it’s a lot warmer here.”
Four different people have interrupted RNC Chair McDaniel on vote counts. “I guess it’s a Q&A now!” A voter asks McDaniel about voting machines switching votes. “We haven’t seen evidence of that,” McDaniel says.
Hello from Cherokee Rose Shooting Range in Griffin, GA— IA Senator Joni Ernst is here campaigning for Senator David Perdue, who faces Jon Ossoff in a runoff election January 5th. Kelly Loeffler was scheduled to be here today too, but after a positive Covid test, she’s isolating.
Kicking off remarks, Ernst says, “I heard that this event was at the Cherokee Rose Gun Club, & I was like, ‘Yeah! The only thing that’s missing is a gun & some ammunition,’” warns “We’ve already heard about what a potential Pres. Joe Biden might do to restrict the 2nd Amendment.”
Speaking in Griffin, David Perdue hits Senator Chuck Schumer, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Stacey Abrams— but has yet to mention his opponent Jon Ossoff.
It’s Golden Hour in Butler, PA— President Donald Trump is scheduled to address supporters here at his third of four stops across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania today, with just three days until Election Day. People are packed to the gills (and foregoing masks, which you knew).
Pennsylvania is crucial for President Donald Trump, so expect to hear a lot about fracking and energy here— there’s even some signage, “Oil and Gas Workers for Trump,” on the tarmac today.
Indeed, in what is surely a coincidence, the White House just released a statement declaring "President Donald J. Trump is supporting hydraulic fracturing [fracking] and other technologies to protect our jobs, economic opportunity, and national security."
We’re in Tampa today, where President Donald Trump is set to rally supporters just outside Bucs’ Stadium, conveniently just next to a a Covid testing site
It is HOT in Tampa, and there is no social distancing and very few masks in the crowd here. The pre-rally program has been interrupted three times for people in the audience requiring medical assistance.
Lt. Gov Jeannette Núñez, speaking during today’s pre-Trump rally program in Tampa, says she’s a Bucs fan (after a lifetime of supporting the Dolphins) citing Tom Brady. “It’s great to have the GOAT living in Florida, but I’m here to talk about another GOAT— Pres. Donald J. Trump”
It’s 37° F in West Salem, Wisconsin— one week out from Election Day, President Donald Trump will rally supporters at MotorSports Management Company. Warming up the crowd is MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who has dropped the word “MyPillow” conservatively 20 times in his remarks.
WI GOP Congressional Candidate Derrick Van Orden also spoke during today's Trump rally pre-program in West Salem-- per Van Orden, President Donald Trump is expected to do a lap around the racetrack here at MotorSports Management in the Presidential state car, aka the Beast.
And President Donald Trump's motorcade just did a lap here at the LaCrosse Fairgrounds Speedway, while R.E.M.'s "Losing my Religion" played over the speakers.
