COMMERCE, GEORGIA — Former president Donald Trump is set to return to Georgia later this month.

Trump will host his "Save America Rally" at 7 p.m. March 26 at the Banks County Dragway, 500 E. Ridgeway Road in Commerce.

According to Trump's camp, the 45th president of the United States will deliver remarks during the rally while supporting former U.S. Sen. David Perdue's bid for governor.

Perdue, a Republican, lost his senate seat to Democrat Jon Ossoff in a runoff last year. He now hopes to unseat Brian Kemp as Georgia's next governor.

"I’m proud to have President Trump’s complete and total endorsement," Perdue tweeted last month. "Georgians are tired of do-nothing, weak-kneed politicians. As governor, I’ll be a fighter, who never caves to the woke left. Conservatives know they can count on me to secure our elections, stop Stacey & save GA!"

Kemp, the state's current governor, has faced harsh criticism from Trump for refusing to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results amid unverified claims of voter fraud.

While the governor's race is expected to be heated, a FOX news poll shows Perdue trailing Kemp by 11 points in the Republican gubernatorial primary.

In addition to supporting Perdue at the upcoming rally, Trump will also show his continued support for former NFL football player Herschel Walker who is running for the U.S. Senate.
