President Donald Trump is set to visit Rome, Georgia, on Thursday and meet with local businesses ahead of the special election to replace U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress.

The visit is a continuation of Trump’s tour to promote the administration’s economic achievements. The tour kicked off in December in Pennsylvania.

“Well, we have a lot of people that want to take Marjorie Traitor Greene’s place,” Trump said Monday on Air Force One, using his nickname for the former congresswoman, “and many, many candidates, and I have to choose one, and they say whoever I endorse is going to win, but we have a lot of good candidates who want to take her place.”

In a post on Truth Social on Feb. 4, the president endorsed Clay Fuller, the former district attorney for the Lookout Mountain Judicial circuit.
