With the popularity of Stacy Abrams and the treachery of Brian Kemp on the Senate appointment, GA will be very tough to win.
David Perdue is up for re-election this year as well.
I have been saying for some time now that Georgia will be tough to hold as a Republican Red State. Suburban counties that used to be red are now purple (turning blue) with the influx of democrat migrants from blue states.
With the popularity of Stacy Abrams and the treachery of Brian Kemp on the Senate appointment, GA will be very tough to win.
What “treachery” of Brian Kemp? For exercising his Constitutional duty as governor to appoint the person he believes is best suited to fill and then retain one of Georgia’s United States Senate seats?
Not only must Senator Loeffler has to stand for election this November to complete remainder of Johnny Isakson’s term, but she must quickly stand for re-election in 2022 for the next full 6-year term - TWO expensive general elections in only two years. Doug Collins can’t raise that kind of money against the New York and Hollywood money that will flood two races against him. But like Trump, Kelly Loeffler could SELF-FUND both campaigns if needed. She and her husband own the New York Stock Exchange and the International Petroleum Exchange.
Loeffler is fiscally and socially Conservative, Pro-Life, Pro-2A, and vocally Pro-Trump. Yesterday, she tweeted “After 2 weeks, it’s clear that Democrats have no case for impeachment. Sadly, my colleague @SenatorRomney wants to appease the left by calling witnesses who will slander the @realDonaldTrumo during their 15 minutes of fame. The circus is over. It’s time to move on!”
Brian Kemp might be the most Conservative governor in America. As Georgia’s secretary of state he got to know all of its 159 counties, and won the governorship in 2018 by defeating the Deal-Cagle-Ralston machine that had stifled Conservative initiatives and kissed Hollywood’s behind. In his first year, Governor Kemp proudly signed the anti-abortion “Heartbeat Bill” and has pledged to sign the Religious Freedom Restoration Act - that Gov. Deal vetoed - when it reaches his desk.
For the record, I love Doug Collins and admire President Trump’s loyalty to him for his unwavering defense of the presidency. But Brian Kemp is the governor, and he knows the Georgia electorate far better that the president does. I believe Collins is best suited right where he is - in the House of Representatives, but I don’t believe Collins will play as well with many female voters in a state-wide race against a heavily funded minority woman. By contrast, Kelly Loeffler is every bit as Conservative and a formidable state-wide candidate who will crush her Democrat opponents.
Governor Kemp has earned my trust to exercise his authority as he believes is best, and every new day shows the brilliance and wisdom of his appointment of Senator Loeffler. She scare the Democrats to death - which is why the media keeps stirring the pot in hopes that Doug Collins will run against her.
Virtually all of the things that were said about Donald Trump in 2015 and 2016 are now being said about Kelly Loeffler today. Senator Loeffler is a solid choice.
