RINO Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger lost the Republican primary.
There will be a runoff election between Rick Jackson and Burt Jones.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger became the latest enemy of President Donald Trump’s to lose a Republican primary on Tuesday.
Billionaire Rick Jackson and Lt. Gov. Burt Jones advanced to a runoff election for the GOP nomination for Georgia governor — locking out Raffensperger, who rose to prominence defending Georgia’s 2020 election results but struggled to gain traction among his party’s increasingly MAGA base.
Raffensperger’s defeat is another sign of Trump’s grip on the GOP, following the president’s wins ousting state Republican senators who clashed with him over redistricting in Indiana and Sen. Bill Cassidy’s loss in Louisiana on Saturday.
But the runoff also prolongs an already rancorous and expensive primary by several weeks. Jackson, a political newcomer who entered the race late but quickly rose in the polls, and Jones, who boasts Trump’s endorsement, are both courting the same MAGA voters.
Trump endorsed Burt Jones early in the race.
Jones backed Trump’s 2020 recount effort.
Presidential Donald Trump endorsed Jones early in the race, with Jones being one of the few leading Republicans in Georgia who backed the president’s effort to recount votes in the 2020 election. Jackson, a health care executive, upended the race when he entered earlier this year and dumped $80 million of his own money into ads for his campaign.
