WSJ editorial is unhappy with the upcoming GA gubernatorial primaries
I am not going to post it here because their angst is the possibility - horror - that GA will turn blue.
No, they never loved Trump but of course preferred an R president with the tax cut etc. And really loathed him after refusing to accept the elections.
Still, here are some nuggets titled Trump’s Georgia Vendetta
For a glimpse of the long shadow Donald Trump may cast over the 2022 midterm elections, see former Sen. David Perdue’s Monday announcement that he’ll challenge Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in a Republican primary. This is a good way to turn a major state over to the progressive left. Mr. Trump has prodded Mr. Perdue to jump into the race for months, as part of the former President’s vendetta against Mr. Kemp. He claims the Governor didn’t fight hard enough to overturn Mr. Trump’s loss of the state in 2020.
Mr. Perdue’s video announcement swims in that muddy water, going so far as to blame Mr. Kemp for the Senator’s own loss in a runoff on Jan. 5. He claims Georgia Republicans were “divided” because Mr. Kemp “caved” and “cost us two Senate seats, the Senate majority, and gave Joe Biden free rein.” Mr. Perdue is free to compete, but not to rewrite history. Mr. Trump lost Georgia in the 2020 presidential race, as audits and recounts have underscored. Yet rather than cast the state’s two Senate runoff elections weeks later as a means of checking an incoming Democratic President, Mr. Trump made the Senate races a referendum on his claims of election fraud, which discouraged GOP turnout.
Republicans are poised for major gains in 2022. But the GOP’s biggest obstacle will be party divisions, stoked by Mr. Trump, and candidates he supports not because they’re better but because they hedge or obfuscate on whether he lost the election.
