What happened

SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler addressed a rally crowd in Dalton, Georgia, on October 16, 2026, eighteen days before the November 3 midterms, urging supporters to find twenty minutes to vote. “This election is about one choice: America First or America Forgotten,” she said, in the line Forbes Breaking News carried as its headline from the same remarks. Loeffler argued that America does not belong to “the globalists who mock our way of life here in Georgia” but to “we the people,” and she credited the President with putting “American workers, American families, and American industry first.”

She attacked Georgia’s Democratic senators by name, saying every Georgia Democrat in Washington had voted to raise taxes, and she cited a figure she stated from the stage — that 58 percent of Democrats nationwide support socialism over free-market capitalism — while naming Senator Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed as politicians of the far left. She pointed to the administration’s tax cuts and to production shifting from “Made in China” to “Made in America” as the record Republicans were running on, and closed on the theme that the country is restored where “freedom and grit, not government, created opportunities for generations.”

Why it matters

Loeffler is a former U.S. Senator from Georgia campaigning in her home state in the closing stretch of the midterms — the SBA administrator acting as a surrogate for the administration’s small-business and tax record in a state where she once held office. The speech is her most visible campaign-trail appearance of the cycle and shows the Main Street message the SBA has carried into the election.
