They have a Governor that won over a black female lib by 8 points, who had the most funding of maybe any Governor in history.
Its a Non-Trump state, not a blue state.
Other Republicans can win it, Trump will not.

What makes Georgia that much different from places like Texas and Florida (two other populous sunbelt states that have either been predicted to be "turning purple" or gone that way in prior elections) with regard to Trump?
Why do suburbanites in those states seemingly find him at least a bit more palatable (at least certainly when facing the likes of Hillary and Biden) than those in Georgia?
Trump has the same problems with suburban voters in Texas. Trump was the only state-wide Republican who lost Tarrant County (Fort Worth) in 2020 and he performed horribly in both Collin and Denton Counties. In 2016 he received under 52% of the vote in Tarrant County. For comparison, Mitt Romney received 57% of the vote in that county in 2012. Additionally, Trump received 3,000 fewer votes than Romney did despite there being nearly 58K more votes cast in the county in 2016 than in 2012. If that's not an indictment for how toxic he is in the suburbs, I don't know what is.
What helps him is that Texas has more "rural" counties than Georgia that are also bigger. This helps offset how badly he performs and how much he underperforms other Republicans in the suburbs.

Nah, anyone who isn't retarded can win Georgia. The problem is it takes retards like Trump and Herschel Walker to lose state-wide. The only other way is for Trump to embrace 2 nutjobs like Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, parade them around Georgia to do his bidding, and for Wood and Powell to sabotage Republican candidates by telling GOP voters to boycott the elections. Therefore, handing elections over to the Democrats.

The only Republicans who lose in GA are Trump and his handpicked Senatorial candidate.

the Brian Kemp faction is too stubborn
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?

So Scott? Haley? Pence. None of them would win clown

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.

In a General, DeSantis doesn't constantly say and do stupid shite which pisses off suburban voters who would otherwise vote Republican.
DeSantis and Scott would both win GA. Trump will once again lose the state because of how toxic he is to these voters.

Much higher % of black population.

Perdue would've lost to Abrams. A guy who was obsessed with the 2020 election and made it a big part of his campaign would've badly underperformed what Kemp ended up doing.

Maybe, maybe not. Our elections have been compromised so we may never know.

The " Land of Democrat Senators ".
The shithole that is Atlanta is a curse to that place.
Glad we don't have an Atlanta.

We can thank the State of Georgia for the last 2+ years of politics with their 2 Dem. Senators. Does any other Southern state have two Dem. Senators?

Kemp is a RINO piece of crap. He is also a globalist which is worse than being a RINO. He and his butt buddy Ratsenberger are the reason GA. has 2 dem. senators. Rat set it up for him to win and them to lose. I really hope what they did is uncovered. They need to meet justice.
