Georgia leaders react to presidential debate in Atlanta

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — Georgia leaders are reacting to the historic debate between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump held Thursday night in Atlanta.

What everyone needs to understand after seeing how serious Joe Biden’s age-related issues are is that Democrats know how serious it is on a daily basis.

And they hide it.

And they support him and allow him to be president of the United States.

How dare the Democrats put us in this situation!

Burt Jones, Georgia’s lieutenant governor, congratulated Trump on his debate victory and said the choice between him and Biden “is clear.”

Congratulations to President Trump on this HUGE debate victory. The choice is clear.

President Trump will secure our border, keep America safe, and unleash the American economy.

Joe Biden can’t speak coherently for 90 minutes and his policies are even worse.

We are ready for a big…

State Rep. Will Wade said people are worried about groceries, inflation and immigration.

Trump just said Al-Baghdadi was the worst terrorist in history. He forgot 9/11. Osama Bin Laden. He desecrated the memory of nearly 3,000 Americans.

State Rep. Houston Gaines said the question isn’t whether Biden should be the nominee, “he shouldn’t be the president right now.”

The question is not whether Biden should be nominated. He should not be president right now. I can’t imagine what China, North Korea and Russia are thinking after tonight with this guy at the helm for the next seven months.

“President Biden shared a vision of an America where everyone thrives. Donald Trump told lie after lie, then lied again,” Congresswoman Nikema Williams said on X.
