Because they were incumbents. Also POLICY WISE, Kemp pretty much falls in line with Trump. He is not a RINO by any means. He is a true conservative and the GOP voters in GA saw that. The only reason Trump hates him is because he did his job and certified the election.
Had Ducey been up for reelection he would have won too. He won in a landslide in 2018 in a much worse environment.
I keep mentioning how Kemp was extremely wise to not join in on the Big Lie because it now gives him "moderate" bona fides in his increasingly swingy state in spite of still being right wing in nature. And now he looks favored for re-election. The same probably would have been true of Ducey this year had he been able to run again. Though Governor approval ratings suggest he is less popular than Kemp is currently, for whatever reason.
Yeah exactly, and what’s funny is Kemp isn’t even a “moderate” he’s a pretty conservative Republican IMO. Funny how just doing your job and not going along with crazy stolen election nonsense can make you look so much more moderate. Seriously the GOP is so dumb to be nominating some of these other candidates. Ducey would’ve won but most likely by a much smaller margin than 2018 I’m guessing.
If Kemp and Raffensperger win while all the lunatics in Arizona lose, maybe then the GOP will finally get the hint. Of course, that still won't matter much to their base; they're too far-gone.
They won’t get the hint. They didn’t after all the avoidable losses in 2010/2012/2020
