Georgia
Trump is back to attacking Republicans. You know, the people he needs to win in November.
Trump is one of the reasons Georgia voted for Biden in 2020. Trump’s latest attack on a Republican will only help Harris.
Trump calls Harris a ‘lunatic’ in first rally since Biden’s exit
Donald Trump called presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris a “lunatic” and a “liar” at his first rally since Biden’s exit from the race.
Donald Trump has revived his feud with Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp seemingly out of nowhere, for some reason.
“He’s a bad guy,” Trump said of Kemp during an Atlanta campaign rally. “He’s a disloyal guy, and he’s a very average governor.”
Trump’s feud with Kemp and other Georgia Republicans stems from the 2020 election, in which then-incumbent Trump embarrassingly lost the traditionally red state. Following his defeat, Trump attempted to pressure state officials to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.
Kemp fought back against that attempt. So now he’s the enemy.
Does Trump realize he needs Kemp to win Georgia in November?
Insulting one of the GOP’s most respectable governors, who is extremely popular in his home state, isn’t a recipe for success from Trump, especially when polling in Georgia indicates an even race between him and Kamala Harris.
What makes it even worse is that Trump has evidently not reflected on the very mistakes he made between 2020 and 2022, in which he lost Republicans the Senate through his own selfishness.
Republicans lost the Senate in 2022 because of a Senate race in Georgia, in which Trump propped up the extremely problematic Herschel Walker for the GOP nomination. Walker ended up losing in a run-off election.
Trump goes after Republicans: Has Harris finally broken Trump? He’s flailing, glitching and running scared.
While a majority of the issue in that race was that the GOP nominated a man accused of domestic violence and pressuring a former girlfriend into getting an abortion, the other portion was that Trump had just spent the last two years bickering with Georgia Republicans for not helping Trump’s attempts to steal an election.
Trump spent the leadup to 2022 complaining that Georgia voting was rigged and that the establishment Republicans were no better than the Democrats there. Shockingly, the GOP lost because they didn’t show up to vote like the left did in that particular election.
Trump’s latest attack on Kemp reminds voters why they dismissed him in 2020
Now, in 2024, Republicans are looking to take the Senate and presidency once again, and once again, Trump is making the same mistake of infighting with GOP leadership in swing states.
Insisting to your base, the current majority of GOP voters, that the people they are voting for up and down the ticket are not worth your vote is a gross miscalculation of how strong your chances are.
GOP has lost the plot: Republicans calling Harris a ‘childless cat lady’ are fumbling the opportunity to beat her
Trump needs to win Georgia, but he also needs support at the state level to keep the party behind him. While all of Georgia’s House races in 2024 are likely already decided, sowing division in the GOP electorate could, at a minimum, cost the GOP millions as it did in 2022, or even cost seats entirely.
Trump’s attacks against Kemp show he hasn’t changed in the last four years despite positive trends in his recent public conduct. He is still a vengeful, self-absorbed liar who has no interest in putting country or party above himself.
Trump has the GOP behind him more than he has at any point since entering the political spotlight. He would be wise to continue building unity within the party rather than have his own pride cost his party further elections.

Coaches Poll Top 25 sees Georgia football keep its ranking heading into rivalry week
ATHENS — To little surprise, Georgia picked up an easy win over Charlotte on Saturday.
The 35-3 win ensured Georgia would remain as the No. 4-ranked team in the Coaches Poll Top 25 heading into Week 14.
Georgia’s opponent heading into the final week of the season did not enjoy a stress-free Saturday, with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets falling 42-28 at home to Pitt.
The loss dropped Georgia Tech from No. 12 to No. 19 in the Coaches Poll rankings. The Yellow Jackets also saw their ACC championship game hopes take a serious hit. A win would’ve clinched a spot in the conference title game.
Now, Georgia Tech has to try and get off the mat with Georgia rolling into Atlanta.
The game won’t be played at home for Georgia Tech, with the game moving to Mercedes-Benz Stadium. It will be a short week for both teams, with the game being played on Black Friday once again.
Last year’s contest was played in Athens and saw the Yellow Jackets jump out to a 17-0 lead. Georgia rallied to win in eight overtimes, 44-42.
Prior to yesterday’s loss, Georgia coach Kirby Smart made it known Georgia expects to get Georgia Tech’s best shot and then some this coming week.
“It’s the same amount of time they have, we have,” Smart said. “So I don’t know that it’s an advantage. The advantage, I guess you’re asking about, is you did it before, so repeating the process. But it’s a little different this time for us in terms of timing and everything because we’ve got to go on the road this time.”
Georgia will be fully occupied with trying to take down Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs do still have a chance to play back-to-back games in Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as Georgia is still alive to play in the SEC championship game.
Georgia’s chances of making it to the game did take a hit on Saturday with Vanderbilt beating Kentucky. The only scenarios in which Georgia can get to Atlanta involve either Texas A&M losing to Texas or Alabama losing to Auburn. Both of those games will be played after Georgia concludes its game against Georgia Tech.
Friday’s game is set for a 3:30 p.m. ET game on ABC.

No. 4 Georgia dominates Charlotte behind Bo Walker’s breakout performance
ATHENS, Ga. – Freshman Bo Walker ran for his first three career touchdowns, Nate Frazier added two scoring runs, and No. 4 Georgia cruised to a 35-3 victory over underdog Charlotte on Saturday, strengthening its position in the College Football Playoff race.
What we know:
Georgia (10-1) entered the game looking to protect its No. 4 CFP ranking and secure a first-round playoff bye. The Bulldogs overwhelmed Charlotte (1-10) for their seventh straight win, while the 49ers dropped their eighth consecutive game.
One week after Gunner Stockton threw four touchdown passes and ran for another in a 35-10 win over then-No. 10 Texas, the Bulldogs leaned heavily on their ground game, rushing for 192 yards and outgaining Charlotte 449-169.
Senior running back Cash Jones made his first start in his final home regular-season game, but Georgia’s offense found more rhythm with Frazier and Walker leading the rushing attack.
Frazier scored on runs of 2 and 7 yards in the first quarter. Walker followed with touchdown runs of 15 and 12 yards in the second quarter to extend the lead to 28-0.
Walker capped his breakout day with a 3-yard touchdown on Georgia’s first drive of the second half, set up by Stockton’s completions of 11 and 38 yards to Noah Thomas.
Georgia maintained focus despite a sparse crowd at Sanford Stadium, scoring the first 28 points and never being threatened. The convincing win should solidify the Bulldogs’ standing in both the AP Top 25 and CFP rankings.
Dig deeper:
Stockton, a fourth-year junior, participated in Georgia’s Senior Day ceremony, possibly signaling his intention to enter the NFL draft — though some fourth-year players take part and still return for another season.
What’s next:
Georgia will face No. 15 Georgia Tech on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
