Trump has been vocal in his support for Handel while urging voters in the state to vote against Democrat Jon Ossoff.
Ossoff failed to clinch a majority of the vote in a crowded 18-candidate field for a special election earlier this month. Since no candidate received an outright majority, Ossoff and Handel advanced as the top candidates to a runoff election slated to be held June 20.
In addition to supporting Handel on Twitter, Trump recorded a robo-call urging Republicans to oppose Ossoff. He also embraced the GOP candidate during a televised speech and helped her with a political fundraiser.
