Newt Gingrich Monday rejected the argument that Georgia's voters are up for grabs, pointing out that President Donald Trump remains extremely popular in the state and predicting voters will choose the president by "somewhere between 4% and 6%."
"Trump goes to Rome, Georgia, a town of 36,000, had a rally last night with somewhere between 30,000 and 50,000 people, or potentially more people than live in Rome," the former House speaker said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "They came from all over north Georgia, so he's ginning up his base."
Gingrich added that according to numbers he got Monday morning, the "African American community is voting about five percentage points below what it needs to in order for Democrats to have a chance to carry Georgia."
The former speaker also estimated that Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., will win his race without a runoff, but that the race with Sen. Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., will end up in a runoff, as there are two other people in that race, and "then she'll win the runoff in January."
Gingrich also dismissed pollsters that show Democrat nominee Joe Biden ahead of Trump.
"These are the same people who told you that for all of 2016," said Gingrich. "I said for all of October in 2016 Trump [was] going to win ... these people don't learn anything, they don't pay any consequences. Doesn't matter how wrong they are. The people I talk to — people like the Democracy Institute or Trafalgar, companies that actually understand how you poll for conservatives — every single one of them believes Trump's going to win and probably win pretty handily. I said yesterday I thought he'd get 324 electoral votes."
