The problem with GA is 45% will vote Democrat. 45% will vote MAGA or RINO. 10% who are the Brian Kemp faction will only vote RINO.

With this breakdown GA is blue. Could be red but the Brian Kemp faction is too stubborn to give MAGA a win. It's sad because they could climb abord the MAGA wave for the win. It would benefit them and GA well.

It's the largest faction in the state on either side

The question is why the MAGA faction didn't jump on the Kemp wave.

Kemp is a solid conservative

Why would Kemp want to get on that sinking ship?

Brian Kemp has been a solid governor of a sometimes troubled state. I'm appalled at many of the comment I read on this board. Does anyone really think Perdue or some other losing candidate could have more competently handled that job?

Kemp literally carried Burt Jones over the finish line in the Lieutenant Governor's race. Back in 2021, Jones was a Sidney Powell and Lin Wood truther who parroted nonsense about the Kraken, Dominion, etc. Kemp and his people pulled him aside behind the scenes and told him to cut the bullshite if he wanted to win.

Jones won by about 194K votes and 5 points, but he performed the worst among all state-wide Republicans who won. The reason he performed worse was because of the nonsense he spewed in 2021. Thanks to Kemp and the fact that enough GA voters didn't see what he said in 2021, he was able to pivot and win. Had he continued to be a Wood/Powell truther he would've lost.
