Trump draws large crowd at Cobb County rally
Former President Donald Trump touched on everything from inflation to immigration and the killing of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley at his rally in Cobb County Tuesday night.
COBB COUNTY, Ga. - Former President Donald Trump addressed a packed crowd in Cobb County during a campaign stop that included a series of events in Georgia on a busy day for the Republican presidential nominee.
Originally scheduled to speak at 7:30 p.m. at the Cobb Energy Center, Trump was delayed and did not take the stage until 9 p.m. However, the delay did not deter his supporters, who chanted, cheered, and waved signs as he took the stage.
Trump opened his speech by expressing concern over the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene in South Georgia, sending his "love and well-wishes" to those affected. He quickly pivoted to issues central to his campaign, including immigration and inflation, criticizing the current administration's handling of the country.
