What's your take on Rick Jackson suffocating everyone else in the #GAGov Repub primary?
Really sick of talking about Texas Senate, #MESen, #MISen #IL09 primary. What are the most interesting primaries few people are discussing but will be important to watch?
I say #IL07 and #IL08
#GAGov
Texas AG primary
Nevada governor general
Intra-party lawfare in the GOP's #GAGov primary makes me recall this @aoc.bsky.social quote. 🤣 #gapol
Also in today's newsletter:
• What will happen to Markwayne Mullin's Senate seat in Oklahoma now that he's been tapped to replace Noem
• Looking back at Tony Gonzales career following his decision late last night to quit his reelection campaign
• The already-crazy ad spending in #GAGov
And more!
@jasonesteves.bsky.social knows everyday Americans have to pay the price for Donald Trump's chaos and corruption. He's running for #GAGov to be a fighter for working Georgians by putting more money in their pockets and standing up to Trump.
Trump loyalist and #GAGov candidate Burt Jones is cheering Trump’s “bold leadership” in launching a war with Iran — even as Americans die from the fallout.
Some of the most #GOPinDisarray that ever #GOPinDisarray -ed.

Sad to hear this. While I am still undecided about who to vote for in the primary, I thought Romman brought a strong, progressive, message that has been lacking in the Georgia Democratic Party. #GAGov

#GAGov candidate Chris Carr doesn't know how to spell the name of the state he's running to be governor of.
Here's a hint, Chris: it's G-E-O-R-G-I-A.
Brad Raffensperger wants to be governor — but only if he can bend the rules. #GAGov

Just a reminder that Burt Jones didn’t just support Trump — he was part of the fake elector effort to steal the 2020 election. Voters should remember he’ll do ANYTHING for Trump, even if it means subverting the law. #GAGov
Hmm...
Trump’s pick for the GOP #GAGov nomination - MAGA Lt. Gov. Burt Jones - is getting slammed in $5M worth of attack ads from a mysterious group.
My guess: this is on behalf of non-MAGA GA Rs who don’t want him to be their nominee because they think he’ll lose.

Five races I am watching in 2026 that will be bellwethers:
- #GAGov and whether Democrats win big enough to flip the legislature
- #PA07 and #PA08
#AZ06 and #AZ02
Congressional races in North Carolina and if Roy Cooper can bring some Democrats along the finish line
-The Wisconsin state legislature
Burt Jones said he still supports Trump because he thought they needed someone to "flip the table on the system."
Well Trump did and now Georgians have more expensive health care, inflation, and tariffs. #GAGov
BREAKING: In Georgia's #SD35 runoff election, 44-year-old dentist Jaha Howard, who ran on affordability issues and a data center moratorium, beat 72-year-old fmr. state rep Roger Bruce, an establishment favorite.
Bruce was backed by @jasonesteves.bsky.social, who vacated the seat to run for #GAGOV.
Reminder: Brad Raffensperger says he'll work with Trump — the same guy who once tried to strong-arm him into flipping Georgia’s 2020 results. How spineless can you get! #GAGov #GAPol
Raffensperger’s bold property tax plan: cap hikes to inflation and give seniors a tiny break.
GOP translation: do the bare minimum and call it a campaign promise. #GAPol #GAGov www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Matthew Yglesias supports "Geoff Duncan for Georgia governor. Duncan is the former Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia who broke with the party over Trump’s 2020 election lies and who is now running in the Democratic primary. Duncan brings the sort of crossover appeal that likely offers […]
The Democrats running to flip these two seats are Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard @peterhubbardga.bsky.social.
If we flip both of these seats, it will carve a path for Democrats to flip the #GAGov, Lt. Gov., Secretary of State, and Attorney General seats in 2026.
GA will host a very rare pair of special elections *next month* for its Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities.
If I were the DSCC or DGA, I'd spend a little money. If Dems flip these seats, the GOP will be spooked for #GASen & #GAGov next year. If not, it was worth a try.
OMG!!! Look who shared @ruwaromman.bsky.social @ruwaforgeorgia.bsky.social run for GA Governor!!! Freaking Michael Stipe!!! So awesome!!!

Even after Donald Trump asked #GAGov candidate Brad Raffensperger to help him cheat in the 2020 election, he's still defending and supporting him. Pathetic. #GAPol
With the entry of State Rep. Ruwa Romman into the race, the Democratic field for Georgia governor is getting crowded. #GAGov

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will enter the GOP primary for governor. #GAGov

We'll see what the Democratic primary brings.
But one thing that I'm convinced of:
Geoff Duncan would likely have a better chance of winning swing state #GAGov as a moderate fighter Dem (who can attract Indies and Sane Rs) than someone more on the left, even in a blue wave year.
Geoff Duncan is precisely the kind of Republican that we should all welcome into the Democratic party.
He's opposed Trump for years, left his party, and is now running for #GAGov on a platform of countering Trump's authoritarianism and expanding Medicaid.

#GeoffDuncan could prove to be a wild card in an election next year that will be a crucial test for Georgia’s relatively new status as a swing state."
