Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle will face Secretary of State Brian Kemp in a July runoff, after the two emerged as the top finalists Tuesday in the five-man race for the Republican nomination for Georgia governor.
Cagle has prepared his run for governor for a decade and had the highest profile in the Republican field thanks to three statewide victories and robust fundraising. But despite campaign fundraising that vastly exceeded his opponents, he failed to get a majority of the vote and avoid a runoff.
He’ll face Kemp, who used a series of provocative ads to help him emerge from the crowded field. One TV spot showed him brandishing a shotgun while talking to a nervous-looking young man, and in another be boasted that he’d “round up criminal illegals” in his own pickup truck.
Cagle tried to win over conservatives with promises to sign a “religious liberty” measure and won the endorsement of the National Rifle Association after he pledged to “kill” a tax break for Delta Air Lines when it cut ties with the pro-gun lobby.

So is Cagle the one we should support?
NO. He is the highest ranking uni-party establishment Republican in the state of Georgia and who had only won Lt Govenor because every liberal media outlet from the AJC to yes Rolling Stones magazine supporting him.
Either one would be much better than Mabel King from “What’s Happening” Rat candidate.
Cagle is no friend of gun owners. Killed constitutional carry. He is solid establishment Republican. No friend of conservatives. Name recognition got him the vote.
Kemp isn’t much better. But either one is better than the Marxist lunatic on the Dem side
I bet before it’s over she accuses PDJT of spying on her campaign.
Did you know Mabel King was a Republican activist who supported Reagan ?
The choice is clear on that.
I b liege you’re echoing what I said. NRA endorsement on Cagle doesn’t mean much. Look on the Georgia gun owners web site for the details
I swear....if not my children later....will either end up in a gulag, beheaded, or in a burka.
Do you live in Georgia?
Kemp is shady. Some don’t like Casey but he has done a lot of good things. He is a business man who went into politics.
Folks like to say he hasn’t done much as Lt Gov..... that’s because that’s the job. You don’t do much
Kemp will liar to Abrams....that is a guaranteed disaster
No Cagle is Nathan Deal 2.0 a total RINO. Brian Kemp is marginally better.
Trump has endorsed Kemp.
Thoughts? Is one man a stronger GE candidate?
Don’t know anything about these two.
Kemp appears to be better. If Gov. Deal is all in for Cagle, you know backing Kemp is the right thing to do.
