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.

There are institutional interests here.

Rove could not be involved if McConnell didn’t want him to be involved.

It’s all about party at this point.

And Rove has always proven effective when it come to raising money.

Anyone member when Karl Rove told Tom Tancredo to never again let his shadow darken the door to GW Bush’s Whitehouse. That was when the GOP was as much a part of the establishment deep state as Obama.

The corporatists like Bush that ran the GOP wanted cheap illegal labor even if it ruined America.

To quote:
Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado recalled that White House aide Karl Rove had once told him “never darken the door of the White House.” The congressman said he’d tell George W. Bush the same thing.

We don’t need fundraising. We need an army of citizens blanketing ATLANTA recording everything and everybody.

He can probably bring in the dough. That’s a good thing.

The plan implemented by the spending of the dough will be the real question.

Who ever thought this was good idea?

Fat Rove is all in for the Bush dynasty.

Make Karl go away
