The United States Senate.
It's the home of the two least intimidating street gangs.
And right now the future of the Senate
is on the line in Georgia, where Republican incumbents
Kelly Lafleur and David Perdue are both facing
tough Democratic challenges in runoff elections.
So to give Lafleur and Perdue a boost,
the GOP is pulling out its biggest gun,
Donald "Jangle Fats" Trump.
NEWSWOMAN: All eyes on Georgia.
Those two critical Senate runoffs heating up,
the control of the Senate at stake.
President Trump hosted an outdoor rally in Georgia
in support of the two Republican senators
locked in a special election battle.
The rally in Valdosta, Georgia, was the first one
since the November election, and it was very important,
as Republicans try to keep the Senate in their control.
At the urging of Kelly and David,
my administration took historic action to protect
growers of Georgia blueberries,
-peppers, squash and cucumbers. -(man yells)
Who gro... who does cucumbers around here?
'Cause I like cucumbers.
-Can you... I'm the only one. -(cheering)
I like cucumber.
(laughing)
Yo, guys, Trump doesn't care anymore.
I mean, like, he even cares less, but he doesn't care...
He'll just say whatever pops into his mind now.
Who likes cucumbers? Who likes cucumbers?
I'm the only one.
They've got that green skin.
But it's bumpy. It's so green, so bumpy,
like it's got warts.
I had a wart once, but it got removed.
I wanted to put it in a little jar,
but they wouldn't let me.
It would have been my best friend.
And look, of course Trump loves cucumbers.
That's no surprise. I mean, yeah,
he prefers them pickled and surrounded by a Big Mac,
but still, that's a cucumber.
So look, clearly, Donald Trump is only gonna be
of limited help, but the GOP senators
haven't been able to help themselves much, either.
You see, both of them are in hot water
over big stock trades that they made
during the coronavirus pandemic.
And at two debates yesterday,
neither of them handled the issue well.
First of all, Senator Perdue simply skipped his debate,
leaving his opponent Jon Ossoff to debate an empty lectern.
Which actually put extra pressure on Ossoff,
because imagine if you lost to a lectern.
Like, the voters are just like, "Oh, I don't know.
I guess I like the strong silent type?"
And while Lafleur did show up at her debate,
after this exchange, oh, she might wish that she hadn't.
Senator, should members of Congress
be barred from trading stocks?
Look, what's at stake here in this election
is the American dream.
That's what's under attack.
When they attack me for a lie,
a left-wing media lie, conspired with the Democrats by...
this is an attack on every single Georgian
who gets up every day to work hard,
to provide a better life for their family,
who wants to live the American dream.
Wow. Robot Ann Coulter nailed that.
Because if you're trying to dodge a question,
you just pivot to the American dream.
She's got to be a role model for all the kids in Georgia.
Billy, did you flush a cherry bomb down the toilet?
Look, Mr. Johnson, what's at stake here
is the American dream.
That's what we got to be talking about.
You're right, Billy. You're right.
And you got to love how shady rich people
always try to act like attacking them
is attacking everybody.
If you take away my helicopter parking spot,
you're taking helicopter parking spots away
from every American in this country.
Now, let's be clear. Even though Georgia
went narrowly for Joe Biden this year,
it is still a very red state.
And the Republican candidates do have an advantage.
But ironically, Trump might be hurting their chances
more than he helps.
For Republicans looking at Georgia, there are questions now
about whether the president's baseless claims
of a stolen election could actually depress turnout
for those really important runoffs.
When the president was down here in Valdosta,
uh, in a crowd that attracted thousands of people,
he told them conflicting messages.
He said the election is rigged,
hey, to go out and vote January 5
for these two senators.
So what message does that...
does that leave these loyal supporters of his with?
It leaves many of them confused.
NEWSWOMAN: This is exactly the kind of thing
that Republicans are concerned about.
They are worried that the president's message
on election fraud could essentially backfire
for Republicans
if he convinces voters that it's not worth their time
to go out and cast their ballot on January 5,
because the fix is in.
That's right. Because they indulge
Donald Trump's bullshit claims of fraud,
Republicans might have suppressed their vote so much
that they could lose their Senate majority.
In fact, you might say that Trump has put Republicans
in quite the pickle.
-TRUMP: I like you cucumbers. -My man!
