Congressman @JodyHice is opening a rally headlined by @mtgreenee and @mattgaetz in Dalton GA right now.

Hice is running for Secretary of State.

Some in the crowd chant “lock him up” about current SOS Brad Ratffensperger.

Worth noting, per @ajconwashington, that Hice once rescinded his endorsement of Congresswoman Greene.

“We are the Republican Party...this is Donald Trump’s Party and I’m a Donald Trump Republican.” FL Congressman Matt Gaetz takes the stage and cuts to the chase.

“We’re not going back to the Bushes and the Romneys and the McCains.” #gapol Image
I am struck that the last time I was here at the Dalton Convention Center I was covering a Stacey Abrams event.

Georgia these days ain’t a boring place. #gapol
Greene arrives at the rally in her signature Humvee.

Crowd greets her with a happy birthday song, as it’s her birthday.

#gapol ImageImage
Greene asks the crowd who won the presidential election in November.

In this room of several hundred people, the answer is “Trump, Trump, Trump”

#gapol
Greene tells the crowd she’s not wearing a mask on the House floor, to big cheers.

Goes on to say: “We will not be treated like second class citizens because we don’t want to wear a mask anymore and we don’t want to get a vaccine that’s not approved by the FDA” #gapol

And now for an actual debate.

@KLoeffler and @ReverendWarnock are facing off one-on-one for the first time starting now.

Watch the @atlpressclub debate here: gpb.org/events/news/20… #gapol
Was the election rigged, Loeffler is asked?

"We have to make sure Georgians trust this process," she says, while in effect dodging the question.
Warnock, a pastor who's trying to become a politician, is asked about the separation of church and state.

He also dodged that question, saying he's running to represent "normal people," contrasting himself to Loeffler, the wealthiest member of Congress.

The runoff debates for #gasen are starting off with Jon @ossoff, debating an empty podium because @Perduesenate has declined to participate.

Loeffler and Warnock face off at 7pm.

@LisaRayam and @bluestein are asking the questions. Watch here:

#gapol gpb.org/events/news/20…
@ossoff @Perduesenate @LisaRayam @bluestein Per the normal debate rules, Ossoff is allowed to ask Perdue a question. Because Perdue is not here, Ossoff will answer his own question.

His Q: Why he continues to oppose $1200 stimulus checks for the American people in this moment of crisis?

#gapol
One of the namesakes of the @atlpressclub Loudermilk-Young debates, former Ambassador Andrew Young stopped by and talked to Ossoff after he took more questions post debate. #gapol
