— Donald J. Trump issued an Election Day endorsement of businessman Rick Jackson in the Georgia gubernatorial race against Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms.

Here is the full post on truthsocial: “It is my Great Honor to endorse Rick Jackson, who is running to be the next Governor of the Great State of Georgia! Rick has been a very successful Businessman and Entrepreneur, and will be a tremendous Governor. He is a FANTASTIC person who everyone is very proud of, as am I. His opponent, Keisha Lance Bottoms, is a Radical Left Dumocrat who wants massive Tax Increases, Open Borders, Men playing in Women’s Sports, and Transgender Mutilization of your Children. Keisha Lance Bottoms is Reckless, Radical, and Dangerous! On the other hand, as your next Governor, Rick will work closely with me to enact America First Policies, and will work tirelessly to Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE, Strengthen our Military/Veterans, Keep our Border SECURE, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Safeguard our Elections, and Protect our always under siege Second Amendment. Rick Jackson has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Governor of the Great State of Georgia. GET OUT AND VOTE FOR RICK — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN! Trump https://swampthevoteusa.com/georgia/” on November 3, 2026 at 8:20 AM ET.

The high-profile endorsement emphasizes core America First policies such as border security and tax cuts. Trump mentioned the source (see swampthevoteusa), which notes that polls close at 7:00 PM on Election Day in Georgia.

President Trump is the author of The Art of the Deal, Think Like a Billionaire, and Think Big. Analyst and Trump supporter Rod Martin points to The Art of the Deal, Trump's 1987 book, as an explanation of his deal-making philosophy: making big announcements, pivoting often in public statements and, Martin says, ultimately getting what he wanted all along. Critics contend that Trump's books were published decades ago or were aimed at making money, not shedding light. "Generally," Martin said, "critics don't read The Art of the Deal. If they did, they would understand."
