re: Georgia - Biden +1 over Trump, DeSantis +3 over Biden

It's a shame that such a popular guy in a state couldn't hold any sway on getting his party over the hump in Senate elections.

Kemp didn't hand-pick Walker. Trump did.

Kemp helped 7 other state-wide Republicans over the finish line, every incumbent Congressional Republican won, and helped Republicans in the State Legislature maintain a majority despite millions coming in from California and New York to try and flip control to the Dems. Kemp even helped Trump's LG pick, Burt Jones, over the finish line. Jones was a shite candidate who spent 2021 parroting the Wood/Powell/Trump/Rudy nonsense about satellites from outer space controlling Dominion machines, or whatever the frick that nonsense was. Kemp and his people pulled Jones aside behind the scenes and told him to cut that shite out. Although Jones won, he performed the worst of all state-wide R's who won.

Trump tried to help flip the Gubernatorial seat to the Dems. He had David Perdue try to take out Kemp in the Primary and Perdue would've lost to Abrams if he had gotten the nomination.

If Trump had his way, Republicans would've lost 4 of the state-wide races. Jody Hice (SOS) and Perdue (GOV) would've lost had they gotten the nomination and without Kemp pulling Jones aside behind the scenes, Jones would've lost as well.
