It's hard to unseat an incumbent senator, especially in a midterm with the wind in your face. He woulda won, imperfect as he was. Sadly I think this seat won't be won now.

I personally think he wants to get out of Politics and do something with University of Georgia athletics.

That is such BS.

Kemp is a died in the wool MAGA guy. Yes, he does not like Trump, but his politics and policy are as MAGA as you get.

Balanced budget
Started back up during COVID early and made Trump mad
Shut down woke GA mayors who wanted to mask and shut down forever
Heartbeat bill
No males in womens sports
No sex change transitions for children under 18
A roaring economy

He is running for President of the US in 2028. I think that is crazy, but that is what he plans to do.

He is the only Republican that can beat Ossoff in 2026.

Very, very disappointed.

Kemp was a Rebpublican back when Trump was pro-choice and hosting gay rights fundraisers in midtown Manhattan and donating to Bill Clinton.

Doug Collins would definitely bring some sass into the race.

Yep.Trump thought he opened up certain businesses "too early" and "strongly disagreed" with 'em but wouldn't interfere with his decision.

Kemp’s biggest flaw is not making Georgia elections secure.

Now that is a gaping flaw but it’s one of the few.

At this point anyway. But it’ll be tougher for sure, and MTG ain’t it.

The Georgia subreddit is celebrating the news.

... no, it's not disappointing,

it's probably the fact that it's become crystal clear that these rats scampering around the state of Georgia are truly very, very sinister rats and he does not want to deal with them any longer ...

More so at the top of the ticket/federal offices that have national implications.

He probably wouldn't win because Trump would tell MAGA Republicans to stay home. That's how we ended up with two Dems in Georgia.

MTG needs to go back to whatever trailer park she came from and take Jasmine Crockett back with her.

Kind of opens the door for MTG to run. Can she win the whole state?

No. She will get blown out.

You are an IDIOT!!! He is one of the most popular governors in the US in a purple state. That does not happen. I don't understand why people like you demonize successful republicans in purple or blue states. The most popular governor in the US is the republican governor of VERMONT. You think a MAGA is just going to waltz in there and govern like Tator Tot here in Mississippi? No. You have to moderate. But, I would rather a centrist tilt right than a leftist. And I am just fricking tired of all these folks on this forum delusional to the point of thinking that every place in the fricking country is MAGA without understanding that what works in LA is not what happens everywhere else.
