President Donald J. Trump is slated to make a brief stop in Rome, Georgia, on Thursday, Feb. 22, as part of a three‑day tour of northern Georgia that also includes stops in Gainesville and Dalton. The White House confirmed the itinerary late Monday, saying the president will “meet with local business leaders, deliver remarks on the national economy, and underscore his support for Republican candidates in the ongoing special election for Georgia’s 14th congressional district.”

A High‑Profile Endorsement in a Hotly Contested Race
The trip comes for the jungle primary to fill the vacant seat of former Rep. Marjorie Taylor‑Greene, who resigned earlier this year amid ethics investigations, reaches its decisive phase. The 14th district, which stretches from the foothills of the Blue Ridge to the foothills of Lookout Mountain, includes the city of Rome, a historic industrial hub with a population of roughly 35,000.

President Trump is slated to formally endorse Clay Fuller, the incumbent Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit District Attorney and a lieutenant colonel in the Air National Guard. Fuller entered the race in December, positioning himself as a “law‑and‑order” candidate with deep roots in the community.

In a pre‑recorded video released by the Trump campaign on Wednesday, the president praised Fuller as “a true public servant who fights for the everyday American, a fighter in the courtroom and in the sky, and a man who will keep our district safe and prosperous.” The endorsement marks the latest in a series of high‑profile Trump backings in the state, where the former president’s influence remains a decisive factor in primary elections.
