Supporters of President Trump gathered at Georgia’s capitol building to protest election fraud and theft of the 2020 presidential election.
On Wednesday, election officials announced the state would finish counting by the end of the day, which prompted demonstrators on both sides to descend on downtown Atlanta.
Hundreds of Trump supporters walked into the capitol building to demand their politicians ‘Stop the Steal’ of the election by the Democrats.

Demonstrations outside remained peaceful as police stood between the opposing groups.
“You’re going to need Georgia,” stated Nick Fuentes, a podcast personality. “You’re going to need probably Pennsylvania and Arizona to clear his (President Trump) path, I think to 270, so they are trying to shut it down all right here.”
Georgia officials have not yet released their final result count as legal challenges are ongoing.
