President Donald Trump is speaking at Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta, on Wednesday to discuss Trump Accounts and appear with Georgia Republicans ahead of the midterms.
The school, in a county Trump lost in 2016, 2020 and 2024, has a diverse student body and is part of the second-largest school district in the state.
Trump is expected to be joined by gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson and Senate candidate Rep. Mike Collins during the event, though the White House did not share whether they would be speaking or if Trump would speak about their campaigns.

What is Trump expected to talk about?
Cobb County is Georgia’s second-largest public school district with more than 105,000 students. It’s also the 23rd-largest school district in the nation. Students in the district rank first in the Atlanta metro in Georgia Milestones testing and regularly outperform state and national ACT and SAT averages, according to the district.
“We look forward to welcoming the president and showcasing the high-quality academic choices which make Cobb the best place to raise a family,” chief strategy and accountability officer, John Floresta, said in a statement.
The school setting will add to Trump’s expected remarks on the future of young Americans, including the recent launch of Trump Accounts.
“President Trump is giving every American child a head start on life, a nest egg to grow up with, and a real stake in their own future through Trump Accounts,” White House spokeswoman Liz Huston said.
The program, which launched on July 4, provides $1,000 to any child born between 2025 and 2028, and works as a sort of IRA for kids. Any child under the age of 18 can start a Trump Account (through a parent or legal guardian), but they will not receive the $1,000 contribution from the federal government.
