As of 2026-10-28, Trump's Georgia visits were a Dalton rally about a week or so earlier and a Perry rally on 2026-10-24, which multiple sources describe as his second Georgia stop in less than two weeks.

What was said

… With less than a week to go before Election Day, former Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Georgia this week as well for the same reasons, as will Mr. Fime, 11000 votes on Saturday.

What we found

Supports. WTOC reports that Trump's scheduled Saturday rally in Perry 'will be his second Georgia visit in less than two weeks, following a rally in Dalton in North Georgia.'[2]

Supports. Tribune and Star reports describe the Perry rally as Trump's second stop in Georgia in as many weeks, and Rough Draft notes he returned to Georgia for a second rally in about a week.[3][4][5]

Supports. The Yahoo/Central Georgia article reports Trump held a Perry rally on Oct. 24, 2026, about a week after his Dalton campaign stop in Georgia.[6]

Supports. GPB and the AJC confirm the Oct. 24, 2026 Perry rally took place, with Trump announcing an Audi plant there.[7][8]

Context. Reuters states Trump and Obama were heading to Ohio and Georgia on Wednesday, but other reports say Trump went to Ohio while Obama went to Georgia, so the Reuters wording is loose on who went where.[1][9]
