Trump Collapses in Georgia as Election Slips Away

In a dramatic shift, Georgia is becoming a bellwether state where Donald Trump's influence is crumbling amid surging Democratic enthusiasm. Despite being outspent by tens of millions in a saturated Republican primary, Democrats in Georgia outvoted Republicans by nearly 150,000 votes—proof of a 'quiet determination' among voters tired of MAGA extremism. The MeidasTouch Podcast highlights Keisha Lance Bottoms’ electrifying rally with John Ossoff, likening it to a presidential campaign, while exposing the absurdity of the GOP primary: a billionaire health executive and a fake elector battling for Trump’s approval in a spectacle the host calls a 'creepy beauty pageant.' With Trump’s approval in Georgia at a net negative 27, and gas prices set to rise due to GOP inaction, Bottoms frames the election as a fight not just for Georgia, but for democracy itself—where every vote is a rebuke to Trump’s corruption and distraction tactics. The episode ends with a rallying cry: 'So goes Georgia, so goes the rest of the country.'
