Georgia GOP Lt. Gov. Duncan, a Trump critic, won’t run for reelection in 2022
Fox News ^ | 5/17/2021 | Paul Steinhauser

Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan of Georgia on Monday announced that he won’t seek a second term in office in next year’s elections.

Duncan, a vocal critic of former President Trump’s repeated efforts to reverse his razor-thin November election defeat in battleground Georgia to now-President Biden, said he’ll serve out his remaining 19 months in office but would also begin work toward "healing and rebuilding a Republican Party that is damaged but not destroyed."

"It always feels coldest right before the sun rises," Duncan said in a statement that he released on Twitter. "I believe that is the exact moment in time the Republican Party is caught in right now, and I am committed to being a part of creating those better days ahead for our conservative party all across the country.

"The national events of the last six months have deeply affected my family in ways I would have never imagined when I first asked for their support to run for Lieutenant Governor in 2017," he wrote. "Through all of the highs and lows of the last six months, they have never left my side and are once again united behind me in my pursuit of a better way forward for our conservative party – a GOP 2.0."

...and so the CURSE of crossing Trump marches on. Heck, if this keeps up, Trump won’t even need a Third Party.

"healing and rebuilding a Republican Party that is damaged but not destroyed."

There are so many republican 'leaders' who don't understand or are in denial, about the damage came from, and are still clueless about where the majority of republicans stand in regards to the issues and about President Trump.

This guy will likely still not get it when Trump re-emerges and runs for president again.

Good riddance to the people who are the ones not realizing that it is they, who are destroying the GOP.

If he stays quiet and never runs again, he will be creating better days for the GOP.

If he wants to heal the Republican Party he start by putting a pistol in his mouth and pulling the trigger. Eff’n POS.

These people think giving interviews on the MSM is going to sway the rank and file. They are 1% of GOP votes. Not even 5%, and no one is going to support their open borders, “political career” (as opposed to drain the swamp), perspective.
