Exactly. I don't blame Kemp, he did his best for Walker. The man wielding the knife was Duncan.

Karl Rove fumes that Trump lost Georgia Senate race for the GOP: 'We got our clock cleaned'
Karl Rove breaks down what went wrong with Republicans' loss in Georgia that 'shouldn't have been'
By Sophia Slacik | Fox News
The midterm elections are officially over after Sen. Raphael Warnock defeated GOP nominee Herschel Walker by nearly 3 percentage points in Georgia’s Senate runoff. While Democrats celebrate their 51st seat in the upper chamber, Karl Rove, a veteran GOP strategist and Fox News contributor, says the Republican loss was avoidable.
"It shouldn't have been," Rove told Fox News Digital. "We had a terrible candidate who was well-meaning but plagued with a lot of scandal and was not particularly good on the campaign trail."
Republicans' loss in the Peach State boils down to poor candidate quality at the hands of President Donald Trump, according to Rove.
"It just shows again he’s a bad picker," Rove said.
With Warnock's victory, Democrats have successfully defended every Democratic incumbent up for re-election in the Senate this year, a political feat that no party has been able to accomplish since the 1934 midterms.
Rove, a longtime GOP operative and former senior adviser to President George W. Bush, has been a critic of Trump in the past and again urged his party to take caution when considering the former president's picks in future races.
"We ought to realize that Trump’s endorsement is not an inducement to support that candidate, but a warning to beware," Rove said.
Trump endorsed Walker, a longtime friend and former NFL football star, early in the primary process, long before allegations of domestic abuse and claims that Walker paid for abortions for two women surfaced in the media. Though Georgia has become more competitive in recent years, Walker was the only Republican to lose a statewide election in the state this year, while every other GOP candidate won by 5 points or more, avoiding a runoff election.

Percentage wise Walker underperformed in all those counties v. Kemp.
Precincts yes, but 80+% vote countywide for a candidate is rare, and usually happens in very small population counties. Almost 90% for Clayton, 86% for DeKalb.
WTH?

Look at the demographic change in those counties between the charted years and you'll have your answer.
