In preparation for the highly-anticipated presidential debate in Atlanta, both the Biden and Trump campaigns are making strong efforts to energize their respective voter bases and attract new supporters.

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden received unexpected endorsements from conservative Republicans at the Georgia Capitol. Former U.S. Representative Adam Kinzinger, proudly declaring his conservative values, endorsed Biden for re-election as President of the United States. This move showcases the Biden campaign's dedication to reaching across party lines to secure votes.

Recent polls indicate that former President Donald Trump currently holds a slight lead over President Joe Biden. In response, both campaigns are going beyond their party bases to ensure they secure the necessary votes. During a press conference under the Gold Dome, two prominent GOP leaders appealed directly to Republican voters, emphasizing the importance of protecting democracy.

Former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan expressed his belief that there are millions of Republicans seeking a reason not to vote for President Trump. The campaign further discussed the alleged threat posed by the former president to our democracy, highlighting his alleged embrace of "political violence." Duncan stressed the urgency of ending this political nightmare and stated, "It's time to purge Donald Trump from our system."

Prior to the press conference, the Biden campaign expressed its intention to emphasize President Biden's commitment to strengthening democracy. They highlighted the reasons why Biden is the right candidate for all Americans, regardless of political party affiliation.

As the date of the presidential debate approaches, both campaigns are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to secure support and gain an edge. The battle for votes has intensified, with endorsements from unexpected corners and impassioned pleas to protect democracy.

Atlanta remains at the center of it all, as this crucial battleground state prepares to host a debate that may sway the course of the presidential election.
