Another Trump enemy falls as Brad Raffensperger loses Georgia primary
Politico ^ | May 19, 2026 | Alec Hernandez

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger became the latest enemy of President Donald Trump’s to lose a Republican primary on Tuesday.

Billionaire Rick Jackson and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones advanced to a runoff election for the GOP nomination for Georgia governor — locking out Raffensperger, who rose to prominence defending Georgia’s 2020 election results but struggled to gain traction among his party’s increasingly MAGA base.

Raffensperger’s defeat is another sign of Trump’s grip on the GOP, following the president’s wins ousting state Republican senators who clashed with him over redistricting in Indiana and Sen. Bill Cassidy’s loss in Louisiana on Saturday.

But the runoff also prolongs an already rancorous and expensive primary by several weeks. Jackson, a political newcomer who entered the race late but quickly rose in the polls, and Jones, who boasts Trump’s endorsement, are both courting the same MAGA voters.

Ratburger crashed and burned. I love the smell of burning RINOs in the morning.

Yes. Excellent analogy. One after another, they went down hard.

Susan Collins/ Lindsey Graham both lucked out once again, not being on the short list of “Must Be Removed By Any Means!”

I hope prison is in the near future for Raffensperger.

Finally. Maybe Georgia can get its electoral rolls and procedures finally cleaned.

Hey Thune! Are you paying attention? MAGA has a long memory for you stinking back stabbing RINO’s. Pass the Save ACT, end the Filabuster, and recess the Senate , and you MIGHT win your reelection.

I give Collins a pass as if she weren’t there, then Maine would have an AOC clone as Senator. I’ll take 1/2 a loaf in Maine.

Lindsey sorta needs to go.

This is good. Maybe the GOP Congress critters will begin to fear, and possibly respect, the president.
