While Collins indicated in a social media post in February that voters in the affected counties of Morgan and Walton oppose Rivian coming to Georgia, a Georgia Chamber of Commerce survey of four area counties, Morgan, Walton, Newton, and Jasper, found that, by contrast, respondents who were aware of the plant proposalKemp, for his part, celebrated the project as the “single-largest economic development project in Georgia history” when heit in December.
The investment, Kemp said, “represents the future of automotive manufacturing and establishes the leading role the Peach State will play in this booming industry for generations to come.” Kemp campaign spokesman Cody Hall said in a statement provided to Breitbart News that Perdue’s attacks on Kemp relating to Rivian were “outright lies.”
“David Perdue’s clown car campaign has resorted to outright lies as they attack 7,500 good-paying, American manufacturing jobs coming to the Peach State,” Hall said. “It should come as no surprise, as they’re down in the polls, can’t raise money, and are desperate to avoid addressing Perdue’s decades-long career of outsourcing American jobs to China.”
Perdue has the backing of former President Donald Trump as he aims to defeat Kemp but has so far been roughly ten points behind Kemp in polls.
Georgia should be grateful for the jobs the plant is bringing in. why would it matter who owns the company?
