I fear the GA Gov race is already lost. Bottoms will not beat MAGA

Geoff Duncan COULD have but it looks like he's going to come in 3rd. Maybe Esteves will win the runoff.
Otherwise we'll have 4 months of nonstop ads with video of ATL burning 6 yrs ago.
Yeah, Duncan was the GOP Lt Gov just 4 yrs ago. but WINNING should be all that matters right now.
I fear we are going to go down the same road as 2024 & repeat the same mistakes.
Trumpism must be destroyed. no matter WHO it takes to do it.
And I'll never understand these unknown people letting their egos convince them to run a diluting campaign.

He lost in 2003.

The governor’s seat should be winnable, with the right candidate. Ossoff is in good shape to win in November, at least as far as fundraising and polling go.

I hope Dooley DOES win because he'd much easier for Ossoff to beat. He didnt even live in GA till recently.
