AI GeneratedHundreds gathered at the Cobb Galleria Center for the \"Georgia Votes\" early rally, emphasizing the importance of the midterm elections. With over 500,000 early votes already cast, the event highlighted critical issues facing Georgians, specifically the need for expanded healthcare access and the struggle against rising economic costs for farmers and families.
In true pet rally fashion,
young drummers set the tone for the Georgia Votes early rally.
Hundreds packed the Cobb Galleria Center Saturday night
for the rally just days after early voting kicked off.
So far, more than 500,000 people already voted
in this midterm election.
I talked to voters, and there are two important topics
on the minds of many here in Georgia.
For Jackie Rexon, it's health care. Her son has a brain disorder.
Four days a week, Aaron goes to a day program that is covered
by a Medicaid home and community-based waiver.
Because of the waiver, Aaron can attend the program,
which costs about $20,000 a year.
And for poultry farmer Jillian Marcus, it's the economy.
The cost of diesel, the cost of propane and fertilizer all add up.
When those costs rise, farmers feel it immediately.
My farm relies on diesel and propane for daily operations.
But prices have skyrocketed due to Trump's reckless war.
Those are the two topics both Senator John Ossoff and former Atlanta
Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms are also fighting for this midterm election.
On day one, I'm going to get to work expanding Medicaid
so that we can protect our hospitals and help more
Georgians afford the health care that they need and deserve.
Now remember, they promised to lower prices on day one.
Instead, under the failed President Donald J. Trump,
it costs more than ever in American history to fill up your truck,
stock your fridge, visit the doctor, or power your home.
Both candidates are also urging voters
to continue to show up to the polls.
Georgia,
a wave is building.
The kind of wave that comes once a generation
when the people have been pushed too far
and they decide all together, all at once, to say enough.
is enough. We have 17 days, Georgia. The polls are open.
