Biden campaigns in Atlanta, Trump campaigns in cities near Hanwha Q CELLS factory
Biden wins the 2020 presidential election by 12,000 votes… Biden Mercury? Trump’s revenge? U.S. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who have confirmed that they will face off in the U.S. presidential election in November, will simultaneously hold election campaigns on the 9th (local time) in Georgia, a swing state in the southern United States that will determine the outcome of this presidential election. Ahead of Georgia’s primary election on the 12th, President Biden will meet supporters at Pullman Yard, a large concert hall located in Atlanta, the state capital, and former President Trump will meet supporters at the convention center in Rome, northwest of the state at the same time. .
President Biden has already been confirmed as the presidential candidate for the Democratic Party and former President Trump for the Republican Party, so the election campaigns of the two current and former presidents on this day are interpreted as having the general election in November in mind rather than the primary.
Georgia, located in the conservative southern region, has traditionally been classified as a strong Republican region, but since the 2020 presidential election, there have been many cases where the Democratic Party won by a narrow margin in various elections, and it is being classified as a ‘swing state’. In particular, during the 2020 presidential election, President Biden played a decisive role in winning the presidency by defeating former President Trump in Georgia with a margin of less than 12,000 votes. As the rematch has been decided for the first time in four years, President Biden, who is running for re-election, is in Mercury, Georgia, and former President Trump, who returned to power following consulting with Washington, is working hard to avenge his defeat in Georgia.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), a local media outlet, added that it was no coincidence that the two current and former presidents were campaigning in Georgia on the same day and at the same time immediately following the final presidential election battle structure was confirmed. Taking advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) enacted following President Biden took office, the Biden administration is targeting conservative southern voters by attracting eco-friendly industries such as cutting-edge solar power industry and electric vehicle industry to Georgia, a traditional agricultural region.
In Korea, Hyundai Motor Group is constructing an electric vehicle factory in Savannah, Georgia, and is scheduled to begin operation as early as the second half of this year.
Additionally, Hanwha Q CELLS is constructing a large-scale integrated solar power production complex in Dalton and Cartersville in the Northwest. Atlanta, where President Biden is holding a campaign rally, is a strong Democratic area, but the situation cannot be reassured.
AJC reported that some Democratic party members are campaigning to vote blank in the primary instead of ‘supporting Biden’ in protest once morest the Biden administration’s pro-Israel policies.
Former President Trump’s strategy is to consolidate conservative votes through a rally in Rome, a strong Republican region.
This is the district of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Trump loyalist, and is close to Dalton and Cartersville, where Hanwha Q CELLS is investing.
Moreover, the state of Georgia has special meaning for former President Trump.
After losing by a narrow margin in the 2020 presidential election, he called then-Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in early January 2021 and pressured him to ‘find 11,780 votes to overturn the election results’. He was criminally indicted in August last year on charges of involvement in and is awaiting trial.
In particular, when former President Trump was indicted in August of last year, he voluntarily appeared before the prosecution and suffered the humiliation of being imprisoned in a detention center like an ordinary person for the first time as a former president and having a ‘mug shot’ (criminal identification photo) taken. AJC, referring to the results of the 2020 presidential election, predicted, “Even in this year’s presidential election, small movements by enthusiastic supporters might bring regarding big changes in the election.” /yunhap news
