Kemp has political ambitions. That was the subtext of his closing victory statement. He was already on the ballot and Walker benefited from Kemp’s GOTV ground game. I tell you Republicans will sit on their hands in the run off.
Trump needs to stay away and I doubt DeSantis will test the waters of potential political capitol wasted on Walker. I was hoping to avoid a runoff but it’s our only shot at stopping Warnock and continuing Dem control of the Senate.
The race has been reset. People now know the score and what they need to do differently this time.
I don't think Republicans will sit it out this time they way they did in 2020. I believe that too many people believed that President Trump had the race won and that their vote didn't matter.
Joe Biden is a known quantity now -- he was a "hope for change" in 2020. If the people of Georgia want to stop Biden from doing any more damage, if they want to take away Kamala Harris' only power, they will know that electing Walker to the Senate is their only hope left.
And they will know that the nation is watching them.
