President Trump is scheduled to deliver remarks at a rally for Republicans in Dalton, Georgia, this afternoon.
Trump will rally in support of Republican Congressman Mike Collins, who is challenging Democratic Senator Jon Ossoff for the state’s Senate seat.
Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson is also running against Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms to succeed term-limited Governor Brian Kemp.
Races for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, and Congress will also be on the ballot.
The White House issued a press release ahead of the rally, highlighting Trump’s tax cuts, investment in American manufacturing, support for farmers, southern border security, and public safety:
Today, President Donald J. Trump returns to the Peach State with a proven record of America First results that put Georgia workers, families, seniors, and communities first. Under the leadership of President Trump and Republicans, Georgians are seeing historic tax relief, a surge of private investment and job creation, lower energy costs, support for farmers, the most secure border in a generation, and safer streets.
Delivering Tax Relief for Hardworking Georgians
President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts are putting real money back in the pockets of Georgia workers, families, and seniors.
- No Tax on Social Security: Approximately 1.8 million Georgia seniors benefit from the new senior deduction, with the average senior expected to pay zero federal taxes on Social Security benefits.
- Bigger Refunds: Georgia taxpayers saw average refunds of $3,169 in 2026.
- Protecting Jobs and Wages: The Working Families Tax Cuts safeguarded 198,000 Georgia jobs, $36 billion in state GDP, and $18 billion in workers’ wages.
- Rural Health Investments: Georgia secured $219 million in first-year Rural Health Transformation Program funding from the Working Families Tax Cuts.
Unleashing a Private Investment and Jobs Boom

Supporting Georgia Families, Farmers, and Communities
President Trump is shielding Georgia families from higher costs and delivering support where it is needed most.
- Protecting Ratepayers: Georgia Power is freezing base rates through 2029 and delivering more than $2.8 billion in savings — $180 per year in savings for the typical residential consumer. Georgia’s major utilities have signed President Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge, ensuring large data centers — not Georgia ratepayers — pay for the power and infrastructure they require.
- Delivering for Farmers: The Trump Administration has delivered more than $177 million to over 4,300 Georgia farmers through the Emergency Commodity Assistance Program and more than $171 million to over 4,000 producers under a $12 billion national bridge program for trade disruptions and higher input costs left by the Biden Administration.
- Delivering Disaster Relief: After Hurricane Helene, President Trump raised the federal cost-share for Georgia disaster relief from 75% to 90%, approved a $318.3 million Disaster Declaration Request, and announced more than $1 billion in FEMA funding for communities and healthcare facilities.
Securing the Border and Ending the Biden-era Betrayal
President Trump ended the open borders policies that enabled tragedies like the murder of Laken Riley and restored the most secure border in a generation.
- President Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, requiring detention of illegal immigrants charged with theft or violence — honoring the legacy of Laken Riley, a Georgia student murdered by an illegal alien previously released into the country.
- The Trump Administration has not released a single illegal alien from the border into the U.S. interior for 17 straight months.
- Refugee admissions are down nearly 90% from 2024 levels.
- Southern border apprehensions in August were 94% lower than the monthly average under the Biden Administration.
- The U.S. recorded negative net migration in 2025 for the first time in half a century, with more than three million illegal aliens having left the country since President Trump returned to office.
- ICE has arrested more than 10,000 gang members during President Trump’s second term.
Making Georgia’s Streets Safer
Crime is falling across Georgia as President Trump’s immigration enforcement, support for law enforcement, and tough-on-crime policies Make America Safe Again.
- In Atlanta, murders dropped 22% last year and continued plunging in 2026 — with homicides down 36% in the first quarter compared to last year.
- In DeKalb County, murders fell nearly 30% last year.
President Trump and Republicans are delivering lower taxes, major private investment, support for ratepayers and farmers, a secure border, and safer communities. Georgians face a clear choice: continue this progress, or return to the higher taxes, open borders, and failed policies of the past.
Trump is scheduled to begin speaking at approximately 3 pm ET.
