Check out the sign over Democrat Jon Ossoff’s left shoulder as this CNN interview gets underway:

It’s definitely a sign of things to come, with President Trump looking to hammer the final nails into the proverbial Dem coffin (there are 11 Republicans running in the GOP-leaning district, which means if Ossoff doesn’t get over 50% of the vote in today’s special election there will be a runoff which he’ll likely lose to the TBD Republican candidate):
With eleven Republican candidates running in Georgia (on Tuesday) for Congress, a runoff will be a win. Vote "R" for lower taxes & safety!

Democrat Jon Ossoff would be a disaster in Congress. VERY weak on crime and illegal immigration, bad for jobs and wants higher taxes. Say NO

Republicans must get out today and VOTE in Georgia 6. Force runoff and easy win! Dem Ossoff will raise your taxes-very bad on crime & 2nd A.
