Republicans Are Listening To Trump And May Not Vote In Georgia Senate Runoff

Many Republicans in Georgia imagine Trump’s election fraud lies and are contemplating not voting within the Senate runoff election.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:

However remarks by Nobile and different Trump supporters at GOP rallies throughout the state this week counsel that years of unsubstantiated claims about structural electoral flaws have eroded religion within the system at a time when Georgia races have by no means been nearer.

In interviews with dozens of Republican voters and activists, many mentioned they had been assured within the election or that they might put aside issues to vote towards Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. However others overtly debated whether or not to take part within the runoffs.

The Republican fears had been realized on Saturday night time as Trump got here to Georgia for what was speculated to be a rally for the GOP Senate incumbents. Aside from a number of temporary mentions of the incumbents, which Trump managed to wrap into his fantasy narrative in regards to the election being stolen from him, your complete rally was about Trump telling Republicans in Georgia that their state rigs elections and is afraid of Stacey Abrams.

Trump solely confirmed up in Georgia as a result of he desires the credit score if Republicans maintain on to the seats and management of the Senate, however the President probably did extra to hurt Republican turnout than assist it as he frequently attacked members of his personal get together and pushed his baseless election fraud claims.

The Senate runoffs are going to be shut, and Trump’s self-serving rally probably price the Republicans votes.
