Karl Rove overseeing Republican financial effort to hold Georgia Senate seats

Karl Rove, the longtime GOP operative and former adviser to George W. Bush, is heading up Senate Republicans’ fundraising efforts for the Georgia runoff elections.

Rove has been tapped as the finance chairman for the Georgia Battleground Fund, a joint fundraising effort by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) and the campaigns of GOP Georgia Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, a person familiar with the effort confirmed to The Hill.

Republicans and Democrats are expected to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the two runoffs in Georgia over the next eight weeks as they battle for control of the Senate. The NRSC, the GOP’s Senate campaign arm, announced last week that the Georgia Battleground Fund had raised $32 million over a six-day period.

Republicans have so far secured 50 seats in the upper chamber, meaning that Democrats will have to flip both Loeffler’s and Perdue’s seats to win control of the Senate, with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris breaking the tie.

Georgia has long been considered safe territory for Republicans; voters there haven’t elected a Democrat to the Senate since 2000. But Democrats have grown increasingly optimistic about their chances in recent years as the state’s rapidly changing demographics and fast-growing population have altered its political landscape.

Karl Rove?
Does the GOP want to lose?
You might as well invite a poisonous snake into your bed.

Democrats have become “increasingly optimistic” because they have perfected voter fraud.

If he was working on Trump’s behalf I’d assume he was a trojan horse. But he’s rallying to keep the mostly RINO senate under RINO control. He’ll give it his all.

They can spend all the money they want.

If they can’t or won’t stop the fraud, the Rats will just do it again.

They must know that. Where is the money actually going to go to?

Rove already said Trump should stop all this. Why the Hell would the GOP put him in charge of anything.
