Georgia's Very Own Megathread!

[PSOL]

I think the national environment will make Democrats unable to win the governorship, but Abrams is an excellent candidate that knows how to campaign well, which will make it closer than any other name and lead to further victories downballot.

We are unfazed by the national environment. Even low information young voters know who she is and it's the general consensus (among voters who would lean Dem) that she was cheated out of the governorship in 2018. We are going to show up. What Biden and the Democratic Congress fail or succeed to do in Washington will not tamper our turnout.

Tilt D with Kemp
Tilt R without

Trump literally said he would prefer Abrams to Kemp lol, do you think the base will turn out? Even if the extreme Trumpists aren't a large part of the electorate, in a tossup state that means a lot

Endorsed. Would love to see it happen.

THANK YOU GOD-EMPEROR

[CookieDamage]

Thank you President Trump!!

Starting to think this Trump guy isn't so bad after all. Trump/Abrams '24!

Trump is being investigated in an insurrectionist, DeSantis is likely to be Prez anyways and he would likely have his immunity revoked for Russia and Ukraine by FBI if he becomes Prez a judge said a Prez can be indicted, you can't be serious😀😀😀😀

[Independents for Nihilism]

I used to think it was ridiculous that an incumbent Republican governor would lose in an R-leaning year, but Trump's feud with Kemp is reaching levels of pettiness I didn't think were possible, even for him. Not to mention Georgia is famously inelastic and getting (non-atlas) bluer by the day. Lean D with Abrams, Lean R with Purdue who probably has the best chance at a Trump-adjacent Youngkin-like campaign, though it remains to be seen if Abrams GOTV efforts would surpass that.

Not going to lie, I would vote for a heterodox ticket like that. I think this is titanium tilt D unless Perdue announces a run and defeats Kemp in the R primary.

[Sir Mohamed]

Finally it happened. Enthusiastically endorsed.

Abrams should hope this will be a rematch with Kemp, who may lose at least 2-3 pts. due to die hard Trump supporters unwilling to vote for him by either voting for her in protest or just don't vote in the gov race at all. Pure tossup or even Tilt D with Kemp. Perdue or Jones would be make it at least Tilt R in my opinion.

They would have the Trump base; Kemp wouldn't. I don't think Kemp can make enough suburban gains to offset said losses.

[Pollster]

People understand that she waited this long because the local elections needed to resolve themselves first, right? Stupid to take press and media coverage away from people who need it more urgently and whose support you will need down the line.

Anyway, I expect this to be one of if not the banner race of 2022.

The Republicans need to hope for Perdue.  Abrams would absolutely chew up Jones, emasculating him so much and exposing him for the moron he truly is.

I wonder how the election would go in Trumpy areas if Kemp is the GOP nominee.

[Arizona Iced Tea]

I wonder how the election would go in Trumpy areas if Kemp is the GOP nominee.

Those voters will turn out in droves for Herschel Walker so it will be interesting to see if they vote Kemp, or leave that part of the ballot blank.

D's won 80 M votes in 2020 compared to 74 M Biden has declined among younger voters, they will comeback just like in the Cali recall, Newsom was underperforming with younger voters as well, Hershel Walker is down by six pts

I can’t wait to see what she raised in the first 24 hours. Her first day definitely toppled Beto.

Perdue might be coming back?

Perdue might be coming back?

It's now official. Perdue to announce Primary Challenge to Kemp next week!

I predict that Kemp & Raffensberger will lose their Primaries next year.

[ElectionsGuy]

Yeah Perdue might win against Kemp (will be interesting) but he's not exactly the best in the general with his loss of the Senate seat and with his insider trading that can easily be attacked by Abrams and depress/convert populist independents.

Yeah, we'd probably see a noticeable undervote in rural Georgia.

[SnowLabrador]

Perdue can absolutely win the general. He only lost the Senate runoff by 1.2%, and that was with the national environment much worse for Republicans than it's going to be in November 2022.
