After pursuing a vendetta in opposition to statewide Georgia Republican officers for greater than a 12 months, all of former President Trump’s endorsees did not unseat incumbents within the state on Tuesday night time. Gov. Brian Kemp bested his Trump-backed challenger by greater than 50 factors and even Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who wrote a e-book about Trump’s try and overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, received outright and averted a runoff.
