I'm pretty surprised. It sort of makes sense though, since Trump has essentially already endorsed Walker for Senate and probably is going to endorse Jones for Governor, and Collins didn't want to risk it. Kemp is probably still toast, though.
While I don't necessarily agree that Kemp is toast, I do think it is interesting that a former football player/current
Texas resident, and a former
Democratic State Representative, have effectively kept other credible Republican candidates from running for Senate and Governor in Georgia.
