Georgia governor bucks Trump with Senate seat appointment
By Max Greenwood - 12/04/19 10:08 AM EST

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) appointed business executive Kelly Loeffler to fill Sen. Johnny Isakson’s (R) seat when he retires at the end of the year, bucking President Trump's wishes.

Trump and his allies had called for the governor to appoint Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) to Isakson’s seat.

But in tapping Loeffler, Kemp is hoping to strengthen the Republican Party’s appeal to female voters, many of whom have abandoned the party and its candidates in recent years.

Kemp himself narrowly prevailed over Stacey Abrams (D), a former minority leader in the Georgia state House, in last year's hotly contested gubernatorial race.

So? He is the Governor. He gets to decide. Not Trump.  I know it is hard concept to some people.

Agree.
