Trump Endorsements Perfect in Texas, Alabama, Arkansas But Far from It in Georgia

Ninety-eight candidates endorsed by former President Donald J. Trump have won their Republican primary races this midterm election cycle following Tuesday’s primaries in Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and the Texas runoff, while only seven have come up short. Although Trump was perfect in his endorsements of candidates in Alabama, Arkansas, and Texas, four of the thirteen candidates who earned his nod in Georgia fell to their opponents.

Former U.S. Sen. David Perdue (R-GA), who earned Trump’s endorsement in the Republican gubernatorial primary, was defeated by sitting Gov. Brian Kemp. Recent polling did not bode well for Perdue and proved to be a harbinger of things to come on election day. An InsiderAdvantage/FOX 5 Atlanta poll sampled 750 likely Republican voters between May 20 and 21 had Kemp polling 14 points ahead of Perdue. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.6 percentage points.

Kemp will face off against Democrat nominee Stacey Abrams in a rematch of their 2018 gubernatorial election in which he took home 50.2 percent of the vote, and Abrams garnered 48.8 percent of the electorate’s vote.

Heisman Trophy winner and former NFL Running Back Herschel Walker took home the Republican nomination for U.S. Senator in the Peach State, handily beating out the state’s Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black (R), among others. Walker secured Trump’s endorsement way back in September, as Breitbart News noted.

“Herschel Walker is a friend, a Patriot, and an outstanding American,” Trump said at the time, adding that Walker is “going to be a GREAT United States Senator.”

“Herschel is tough on Crime and Borders, and he will always stand in support of Law Enforcement, Military, and our Vets. He will fight hard for our Second Amendment and Voter Integrity,” Trump added.

Walker will square off against Sen. Raphael Warnock (D) in the general election in November after the incumbent senator staved off his sole challenger to earn the nomination.

Georgia never was a Trump state.

Did Trump go all in in Georgia and now he is bust?

Georgia has open primaries.

Hoodat (who I sense is in a position to know) says:
"Georgia never was a Trump state."

Unfortunately, I sense that Georgia is further along than most folks realize into becoming a BLUE state.

The last two elections stand as evidence of that.

And the current Republican powers-that-be haven't done much of anything that would prevent repeats in 2022 and 2024.

Georgia has been the "southernmost Yankee state in the nation" for several years now,thanks to the massive influx of black yankees from  the northeast.
