Key takeaway (Atlanta News First) — President Donald Trump will visit Wheeler High School in Cobb County on Wednesday.
Why this matters in The Atlanta
The visit by President Trump to Wheeler High School in Cobb County puts a spotlight on the county's shifting political landscape. As a former Republican stronghold, Cobb County's transformation into a majority-Democratic voter base has significant implications for local and state elections. The fact that Trump is using a high school as a backdrop to promote his college savings plan and stump for GOP candidates suggests that Republicans are still keenly interested in competing for votes in the county. The growth of Kennesaw State University has contributed to this demographic shift, bringing in new residents and changing the county's political dynamics. Local residents and lawmakers will be watching to see how Trump's visit is received, particularly given the concerns about politicizing education and schools. The outcome of the November midterms will likely depend on turnout in counties like Cobb, making Trump's visit a significant event in the local political calendar.
