US President Donald Trump pressed his own grievances over losing the presidential election at a rally in Georgia at the expense of the political battle for control of the Senate.

Thousands of largely maskless supporters gathered in Valdosta, shortly after Mr Trump was rebuffed by Georgia’s Republican governor in his astounding call for a special legislative session to give him the state’s electoral votes despite Joe Biden winning the majority of the vote.
