Trump announces a $4.2 billion Audi factory in Georgia ahead of the November 3 midterms

Trump says Audi is putting billions into a new factory in Georgia, and he wants voters to see it as evidence that his tariffs are working. The German luxury auto maker will produce up to 200,000 SUVs annually near Macon, putting an important part of its operations in America on American soil for the very first time. The announcement was made Saturday during a GOP rally in Perry, just days before the November 3 midterm election. Georgia has a highly competitive gubernatorial and U.S. Senate race this year. Trump has been telling automakers for months that they should be making more cars in America. But now he can cite a plant announcement even though the whole story is much more complicated.
