Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Georgia governor candidate, is asked whether Trump will help Republicans. She says Democrats have flipped the state before, sending two senators to the U.S. Senate and two Democrats to the Public Service Commission, and that in May they were outspent by $100 million but still outvoted Republicans by 150,000 votes. She says she is asking independents and Republicans for support too, and that a Republican texted her to say he voted for her.

Is he actually going to help the Republicans? Doug, I'll tell you like my husband tells me when we're having spirited discussions, saying it loud, then make it right. So he can say it as often and as loud as he wants to, but the vote tally won't lie. And what we know is that we've flipped this state before. We've sent two senators to the United States Senate. that. We also sent two Democrats to the Public Service Commission, and we will also remind him that just in May, even though we were outspent by $100 million, Democrats still outvoted Republicans by 150 ,000 votes. But let me be clear, my message and my ask for support is not just toward Democrats. I'm asking for independence, and I'm asking for Republicans, one of whom text me today and told me he voted for me.
