President Donald Trump is attacking the leading Democratic candidate running in a special election in a conservative Georgia congressional district.
On Twitter Monday, Trump said:
The super Liberal Democrat in the Georgia Congressioal race tomorrow wants to protect criminals, allow illegal immigration and raise taxes!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2017
Republicans are trying to prevent a massive upset in the primary on Tuesday. Democrats have united behind 30-year-old former congressional staffer Jon Ossoff, who has been boosted by opposition to Trump and an $8 million fundraising haul.
The primary includes 18 candidates — Republicans, Democrats and Independents. Republicans hope to force a June runoff with the GOP’s top candidate by keeping Ossoff below 50 percent of the vote.
The Georgia primary comes a week after Republicans won a closer-than-expected special congressional victory in Kansas.
