Kemp defeats Perdue in Georgia, a major blow to Trump
The hill ^ | 05/24/2022 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 05/24/2022 5:49:50 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp was projected to win his renomination for a second term on Tuesday, overcoming a primary challenge from former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and, by extension, former President Donald Trump.

ABC and NBC News both called the race for Kemp around 8:30 p.m. ET.

Kemp, a one-time ally of the former president, stirred Trump’s ire in the wake of the 2020 presidential election after he rebuffed his pleas to overturn President Biden’s electoral victory in Georgia. Trump vowed to campaign against Kemp, eventually persuading Perdue to enter the race for governor in hopes of ousting him.

MORE voted for Loeffler and Perdue in that runoff than voted for Trump in 2015, and voted in the 2018 governor’s race. People did NOT stay home.

What happened here is that the same steal that happened for the Presidential race happened again. The two senate candidates tried to get the voter rolls cleaned up too and the cases were thrown out.

You can believe it or not, but I live here and I know it was stolen.

of what you may read here at FR Kemp was not disliked as Governor

I remember when Kemp was the first governor to open up his state a few months into the pandemic. Trump blasted Kemp for it. I never understood that as I thought it would be good to see what happened as tough lockdown rules, etc, were loosened in a state. A feud seemed to start then though things could nave happened behind the scenes that I was not aware of.

President Trump had the best policies of any president of my lifetime but his public and personal attacks on people is his Achilles heel. I bet his three children have tried to get him to stop. It is enough to have to negotiate with people who disagree policy-wise with you. No need to add personal animosity caused by your public insults.

Last time the Devil went down to Georgia he lost his gold fiddle to some redneck. Don’t count on him to do anything about the RINOs.

He endorsed Hice so it looks like it'll add another one to his loss column.

I think Trump’s biggest mistake was making an enemy of McCain by calling him a loser for being a POW. I mean, there was zero reason to say that. . .

If Georgia Republicans throw a temper tantrum and sit things out so that Abrams wins, they are idiots and will get what they deserve.

Yes, they will. A guy like Kemp won't advance the ball for us, but Abrams will run it 50 yards in the other direction.

So is Georgia just a small California for example?

We may never know how many of Trump's red tsunami voters in Georgia voted in this election. But it may be the second+ time that the state has possibly violated Section 2 of the 14th Amendment imo. Note that the word "any" is used twice in Section 2.

Possible violations of Section 2 were also possibly ignored on J6, the corrupt media wrongly arguing that official state electoral vote counts cannot be challenged if I remember correctly.

Democrats Have Objected to Electoral Vote Certification For the Last 3 GOP Presidents (1.1.21)

Corrections, insights welcome.

75k Dems voted in the Republican primary election. The UniParty prevailed. Kemp takes the prize.

Not a blow to Trump. Perdue was a long shot, and Trump’s endorsement was basically a FY! to Kemp.
