Who Ran The Worst Senate Campaign in 2020?

[forsythvoter]

I think Kelly Loeffler ran the worst campaign if we base it on just the mechanics of running a race. She came across as extremely robotic whenever she spoke, didn't try to defend herself from the insider trading charges (her response was basically that Warnock was a radical socialist to everything). Her statements that her voting record was "100% what Trump wanted" managed to offend even Trump voters who wanted a senator that could think for herself.

However, I also think Perdue ran a close second. His Kamala name gaffe probably cost him enough votes to not clear 50% in the general election (he was 17,000 votes short so he would have only needed to flip 8,500 votes out of ~5M), and then his refusal to debate and runoff strategy of basically letting Loeffler do most of the campaigning for the R ticket (and thus tieing him to the hip with Trump) in the runoffs cost him enough support among suburban moderates to give Ossoff the win.

Both GA Senate races imo were winnable by the Rs and it wasn't luck that gave the Ds the seats but the fact that Ds just ran a much more competent campaign. Just look at the PSC race which is as close  to a generic R / D race as one can get.
