Georgia Republicans say DOJ suit against voting law could give Kemp political boost

(CNN)The Justice Department is suing Georgia over the state's new voting restrictions -- and handing Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, who signed the changes into law earlier this year, a potential political boost ahead of his reelection bid.

Sources close to Kemp described the DOJ's actions as a positive development for the governor, who has spent months defending himself against Donald Trump and the former President's push to overturn the 2020 election results. Now, Kemp has a more preferable opponent: the Biden administration.

Interesting development and I actualy agree. For the first time in forever, the narrative is back to Kemp vs Dems/Biden/Abrams rather than Kemp vs Trump.

And it will also push Black folks to the polls for Abrams. So I'm here for it.

Trump team polls Perdue vs. Kemp Georgia showdown

Quote
Donald Trump’s political operation has commissioned a poll showing Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp is vulnerable in a Republican primary, a move that comes as the former president looks to punish the first-term Republican for his perceived disloyalty during the state’s 2020 vote count.

According to the poll of 500 likely Republican primary voters, which was conducted Aug. 11-12 by Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio, only 24 percent “strongly approved” of Kemp, a fraction of the 74 percent figure Trump registered among the same group. It found that 27 percent disapproved of Kemp, compared to just 5 percent for Trump. Overall, 93 percent approved of Trump, compared to 69 percent for Kemp.

In a hypothetical primary matchup, Kemp would lead Perdue and a number of other challengers (41-16) — but he'd be shy of the majority of the vote needed to avoid a runoff with Perdue. But the poll also tested a prospective scenario in which Trump endorsed Perdue in a primary against Kemp and found the former senator would flip the script, pulling ahead of the governor, 41 percent to 26 percent, giving Perdue the upper hand going into a runoff against the incumbent.

Trump at 93/5 among likely GOP voters
Kemp at 69/27

41-19-16 Kemp-Jones-Perdue
46-40 Kemp-Perdue (no Trump endorsement)
41-26 Perdue-Kemp (Trump endorsement)

With Kemp recently saying he was open to taking in Afghan refugees in Georgia, maybe Vernon's chances of successfully primarying Kemp have gone up?

At the rally in GA today Trump apparently said Stacy Abrams would be a better governor for the state than Brian Kemp.

He can say that if he likes, but the fact remains that there's not yet a more credible opposition candidate to Brian Kemp than Vernon Jones, and one imagines there's a reason that Jones hasn't yet received the laying on of hands. Maybe David Perdue will see fit to run, but otherwise I don't know whom it could be.

I don't think Perdue is going to run for anything. If I were his age and super-rich, I'd just want to enjoy retirement.

David Perdue would put up a much better challenge than Vernon Jones.  I would still probably vote for Kemp.

John Barrow should primary Warnock. If he managed to win, the general is safe D.

Hot take: Perdue would have a better chance in the general election than Kemp. Perdue only lost by 1.2%, and only because Democrats were more motivated than Republicans. In November 2022, that will not be the case.

He'd be lucky to get 20% in that primary.

Barrow would have more luck running for SoS. He ran for that office in 2018.

It's mostly a joke, But Ossoff and Warnock are not my kind of Democrat.

They're not as similar as many seem to think. Ossoff is more technocratic, wonky and culturally liberal. He's also further left on immigration than Warnock and perhaps more of an interventionist, though that remains to be seen.

Hopefully Andre Dickens can edge out Kasim for the second spot in the mayoral runoff. Not looking likely though.

Glad I don't live in the city limits, what terrible choices.

Dickens has moved in front of Reed by 478 votes with one precinct to report.  Hopefully, he will pull it out.
