With AG Barr and Ivanka Trump in Atlanta today, here’s a reminder of Trump’s record for Georgia families

ATLANTA— As Ivanka Trump and Bill Barr visit Georgia today, the Democratic Party of Georgia released the following statement: 

“Yet another Trump administration visit to Georgia can’t distract from this president’s terrible record, particularly for families who have carried more of the burden as COVID-19 devastates our economy,” said Maggie Chambers, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Georgia. “Under this president’s failed leadership, women are facing twin crises of a crashing economy and a dangerous pandemic, while their government continues on a crusade to end health care as we know it. Georgia’s families are sick of Donald Trump’s broken promises and will vote him out in November.” 

TRUMP’S BAD RECORD FOR GEORGIA FAMILIES: 

• Trump has waged a constant war to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, which would strip nearly 750,000 Georgians of their healthcare during a pandemic that has killed 200,000 Americans and more than 6,600 Georgians.
• When President Obama handed Trump a thriving economy in January 2017, women’s unemployment stood at just 4.4%. Now, under Trump’s failed leadership, the percent of women who are unemployed has nearly doubled to a staggering 8.6%.
• Trump’s tax scam raises taxes in the long run for working class Georgians while giving the richest 5% over half of the benefit.
• While Brian Kemp was busy passing extreme anti-choice legislation that would ban women from abortion procedures before most even know they are pregnant, Trump has continued to stack the courts with radical anti-choice judges.
• In 2019, Georgia’s maternal mortality rate was more than double the United States’ average. Trump’s plan to demolish the Affordable Care Act would leave more women uninsured and at risk.
• Trump and the mega-donor he put in charge of the Department of Education, Betsy Devos, enacted radical changes that make it more difficult for survivors of college sexual assault to come forward.
