Will TFG Ruin a Red Wave in 2022?

THE G.O.P. HAS EXPERIENCED HOPEFUL TIMES BEFORE — ONLY TO HAVE THE MOMENT PASS.

Former Senator David Perdue knows how to crash a party. When he announced that he would seek the 2022 Republican nomination for governor in Georgia, challenging the incumbent, Brian Kemp, he did more than enter a primary race. He illustrated the dangers facing the G.O.P. in the coming year.

Georgia Republicans are divided over former President Donald Trump and torn between mainstream credibility and the conspiratorial fringe. Mr. Perdue — an ally of Mr. Trump — has made these divisions worse. The beneficiary? The Democrat Stacey Abrams.

Republicans worry about internal strife and outlandish messages that turn off swing voters because everything else is going their way. The party did well in last month’s elections. President Biden’s low approval ratings endanger Democrats in Congress, where Republicans must net only five seats in the House and one in the Senate to seize control.

Unfortunately, but based on his history, he will help us save some seats.

Margin in House is razor thin. Holding would be a miracle, but the Orange one could save us a handful of seats.

I don’t really see much directly from him now that he is banned everywhere. His influence is definitely muffled. That’s bad in a way, it doesn’t motivate his opposition the same way it doesn’t motivate his following.

I almost want him back on Twitter, because it helps us tremendously.

With the Missouri Senate race.

He will support Greitens because Kimberly Guilfoyle is his campaign manager and others who've worked for Trump are on that campaign. MO state GOP have stated that Greitens winning the primary is their worst nightmare and could pass that seat to a Democrat.
