The Democratic and Republican primaries will take place in the battleground state of Georgia (USA) on March 12. On March 9, Mr. Trump campaigned in the city of Rome in this state while Mr. Biden attended an event in nearby Atlanta, according to Reuters.
In his speech, Mr. Trump repeatedly asserted that he was the victim of massive election fraud. He criticized the federal prosecutor in Georgia, Fani Willis, who prosecuted him for interfering in the 2020 US presidential election, accusing her of collaborating with the Biden administration to target him.
"They're trying to eliminate us and they're not going to succeed," Mr Trump told a crowd at a gymnasium in Rome, Georgia.
Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump both campaigned in Georgia on March 9.
Meanwhile, Mr. Biden criticized his predecessor for recently hosting Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at his resort in Florida (USA). "When he says he wants to be a dictator, I believe him," the current White House owner said of Mr. Trump.
No state in the US is expected to be more hotly contested than Georgia in the presidential election scheduled for November 5. The state went to Mr Biden in the 2020 election and has been at the centre of Mr Trump’s allegations of voter fraud.
Mr Trump will move closer to the Republican nomination on March 12 when Georgia joins Hawaii, Mississippi and Washington in holding primaries. He is now the only candidate in the Republican race after his rival Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, decided to end her campaign.
On March 7, President Biden delivered a State of the Union address filled with criticism of Mr. Trump, accusing him of threatening democracy, bowing to Russia and sinking bipartisan immigration reform efforts.
But Biden is also under intense pressure from Democrats over his support for Israel in its war against Hamas in Gaza, a conflict that could be on display in Georgia’s March 12 vote.
At a campaign event in Atlanta on March 9, a person was escorted out after using the word "genocide" to refer to the current US president.
A coalition of multi-racial and multi-faith groups in Georgia has launched a campaign urging voters to leave their ballots blank rather than vote for Mr. Biden in the March 12 primary, hoping to send a message that forces the White House to reconsider its support for Israel.
