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

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.

Your idea, and suggestion on how to check it, are both correct.
I have seen Tweets tonight that 7% of the GOP Primary votes were crossover Dems.

I know, but Trump made an enemy of McCain for no real reason—McCain was well liked in AZ for many years and Trump could have used that support. Maybe McCain wouldn’t have been such a traitor if Trump hadn’t alienated him. . .I guess it’s a chicken and egg situation.

McCain went over to the dark side after the Keating Five scandal. The press left him alone. He was a piece of crap two decades before Trump ran for president.

Walker was a blowout, not possible to overcome.

Kemp’s lead had dwindled from 60% to 52% in the week previous. He was salvaged by machines. See #76 above.

Georgia is an open primary state. My theory is that a lot of Dems chose to vote the Republican primary ballot to vote for Kemp and throw things off.

So Dems are going to vote for the person who beat Abrams in a blue-wave election and has proven himself a capable, successful governor?

Makes sense.

How do we know that this isn’t what happens when RCV-enabled voting machines are still in use.

Trump is the new GOP King maker. The Kemp anomaly is the exception that proves the rule.

I think the biggest mistake was you father’s failure to use birth control.

If they allow this treason to stand the senate is not worth having. I gave to all these weenies to provide support for our legitimate President, If these cowards fail to stand for what they know is true I will send money to dims. lets get it on.

I posted this in December 2020. True to my word I will be sending money to fat momma.

It looks like Herschel Walker and Jody Hice are the only two Trump backed candidates that won.

Hice (Lt. Gov) ran on eliminating the state income tax (neighboring Fla. and Tenn. have no income tax).

The incumbents (other than Kemp) that are winning are just scratching out victories. Normally they would coast to victory.

Kemp put on a full court press this year to (finally) pass conservative legislation that people have been clamoring for for decades (like permit carry).

Oh is that so. Well Stacy Abrams was unopposed. There was no real reason to vote for her. And she got 709K votes. David Perdue with a full Trump endorsement behind him got only 259K votes. So based on those numbers fat Stacey would crush Perdue in November.

This isn’t about electing a Republican in Georgia in November — its about punishing Kemp, and has been all along. And it failed miserably.

Then why are you even here? If you’re giving money to Abrams, you’re on the wrong site.
