Former President Donald Trump is showing strong signs of momentum in several key swing states with one former aide to a Georgia Senator and Governor, telling GB News he could “win big” in the Peach state.
As the 2024 election draws closer, the latest data from FiveThirtyEight suggests Trump is currently polling ahead of Kamala Harris in several crucial battlegrounds, including Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
In Georgia specifically, Trump is ahead of Harris by approximately four percentage points, suggesting a strong possibility for a Republican victory, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll.
The former aide to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp and Senator David Perdue, Martha Zoller expressed her confidence in Trump’s prospects, telling GB News: “I think Donald Trump wins Georgia. I think it’s swinging that way right now.

Zoller highlighted the importance of swing states in determining the election outcome, adding: “Whoever wins the swing states, I think that we might not know about Pennsylvania for three or four days, but if the other six swing states go one way or the other, that’s how it’s going to be.”
The US political analyst continued: “If Trump wins all seven swing states, then he wins—and he wins big. It’ll be a decisive majority.”
Zoller believes that a significant win is essential for moving past the current political climate.
“The Harris campaign likes to say ‘turn the page,’ but that’s how we turn the page: to have a big win. The momentum is on President Trump’s side,” the former Republican candidate for the House of Representatives said.
However, Zoller acknowledged that concerns about election integrity persist among a segment of voters.
“There is still a faction of people out there that are going to question election integrity no matter what,” she said amid Trump’s claim that his 2020 loss was the result of widespread fraud.

She added: “So there’s still a lot of interest in election integrity.”
Zoller clarified that election integrity is not just a Republican concern: “I think it’s not just a Republican issue. Republicans and Democrats alike have been questioning the integrity of elections, not just in Georgia but around the country.”
The WDUN radio host pointed out the complexities of the American electoral system, highlighting that elections are inherently messy by design.
The host of The Martha Zoller Show continued to tell GB News: “American elections are messy. They’ve always been messy. There are 3,100 counties within those states, and the idea was by doing it locally, by having local control of the elections in the county offices, that it makes it a lot harder to steal.”
She attributed the prolonged scrutiny of recent elections to the role of social media. “The difference is social media and misinformation—people passing things around that hadn’t been vetted yet, which I think caused this to last a lot longer as far as how people looked at it.”

On Monday, Harris campaigned in all three “blue wall” states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
These states have historically supported the Democratic Party and were essential to the victories of the last two Democratic presidents.
Her Republican rival was also out campaigning as Trump travelled to Asheville, North Carolina, where he expressed concerns that the extensive damage from Hurricane Helene could hinder voter turnout in a race that polls indicate is tightening.
According to the latest survey from The Washington Post, Trump and Harris are in a tight race across the nation’s seven battleground states, which could swing in favour of either candidate.
As of October 21, FiveThirtyEight’s daily election poll tracker shows Harris leading in the national polls with a 1.8 percentage-point advantage over Trump.
