Trump Invests in First Midterm Race – Against This Republican

-

President Trump's Save America PAC has amassed a massive war chest.

But despite having $110 million cash on hand, the former president's official super PAC has been famously stingy.

An influx of cash in highly-competitive races would undoubtedly increase the number of Republican victories this November and the likelihood that the GOP will take back the majority in the House and .

Furthermore, should Trump run and win the White House in 2024, having more conservatives in would help him enact his agenda.

With T-minus seven months until Election Day, the 45th president has finally made his first major donation in a closely watched midterm race.

However, it's not against a liberal Democrat. Instead, Trump is going all-in against a conservative Republican: Governor .

In Trump's mind, Kemp committed an unforgivable sin when he declined to overturn Georgia's presidential election results based on unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.

As a result of his perceived disloyalty, Trump subsequently declared Kemp a RINO and made it his mission to destroy him politically.

Yet his vendetta against the man has only seen mixed results. So far, Kemp's Trump-endorsed challenger, former U.S. Senator (R-Ga.), has failed to catch fire. Polling shows Perdue running a competitive campaign but consistently behind the incumbent governor.

Meanwhile, Kemp has shrewdly refrained from attacking Trump while emphasizing his conservative bona fides.

The governor recently signed legislation making his state the 25th to enact . He stood tall against the corporate backlash to commonsense election reform laws that add new identification requirements to absentee ballots and limit ballot drop boxes.

And in a new ad, Kemp reminded voters how he fought to reopen Georgia as soon as possible early in the pandemic, even when then-President Trump said he “totally disagreed” with Kemp's decision to do so:

Bottom line? Large numbers of GOP primary voters in the Peach States seem comfortable voting for Kemp and Trump.

It remains to be seen how the 45th president will respond to these competing impulses should Kemp win the primary.

So, what do you think? Has President Trump done enough to help Republican candidates running in key midterm races? Do you believe he will do more? Tell us in the comments below, and let us know what other races you'd like to hear more about!

  1. We need to get away from the old man reality TV on both sides. The power struggle for the United States is exhausting, The FAR Left and the FAR right are in a death spiral for the fate of our country. Our families torn apart. I’m sick of it. Take a deep breath, release your fears for a few minutes and just listen to Adam Kinzinger. This guy makes me feel like I did when Reagan spoke. Smart, young, strong and normal. He cares more about the country than proving people wrong. Country first, American second and a fiscally conservative Republican third. We need to get back to normal, unite our party.

    • Adam Kinzinger voted to impeach President Trump and is presently serving on the Jan 6 Kangaroo Committee. That’s all I need to know to be against Adam K.

  2. I believe Perdue is not getting a lot of support because he tucked tail and ran during the run-off campaign against the maniac Warnock. He wouldn’t even debate. People haven’t forgotten that. I live in Virginia and I haven’t forgotten it. I think Trump should have put his money and endorsement on Kandiss Taylor. She’s fighting like a warrior in this campaign, traveling from one end of GA to the other and media is giving her NO coverage, not even you. SHE would debate in a heartbeat!

    • He wasn’t running against Warnock. Predue would have won in November if it wasn’t for the fraud that Kemp refused to do anything about and allowed to happen. Kemp is nothing more than a back stabber. GA has a speaker of the house that changed the law so that his law practice business model is based on preventing his clients cases from ever going to trial. He has basically allowed rapist to walk. Pure evil. The parole board which is appointed by Kemp paroled a pedophile after 7 yrs who had been give multiple life sentences. What??? Kemp has to go.

  3. It appears from what was said it this article that Kemp as governor has done the right things for the State of Georgia. Trump needs to bet on winners who enact conservative policies and not be vindictive of a single decision. Voter fraud happened in many places. There was not enough evidence at the time to take the action sought by Trump. Now we know and conservative Republicans need to stand United.

  4. Had Trump endorsed Kandiss Taylor the only candidate for the Governor Georgia that will debate the issues and is telling the truth on Georgia voter fraud. She is a strong conservative and Christian educator. We’ve sent community organizers, pastors and builders and career politicians etc to Washington. Why not an educator to run our state of Georgia. Kemp and Perdue don’t want to debate her nor each other because Georgians will ask tough questions. Shameful we will elect someone who won’t investigate the fraudulent voter activity in Georgia. If there is nothing to hide why not investigate???

  5. Adam Kinzinger is also a serious Republican. I don’t care about Trump. If he runs we lose. The party is fractured and has alienated a majority of the American people. Look at the popular vote. I’m not going to attack your beliefs, I just want to produce an answer. Why not embrace our country with a conservative leader. It’s a win-win and not a separatist stance. I too am an American but I don’t buy into subscribe to things that haven’t been proved. In this country we rely on evidence for any court case. I’m sorry but I haven’t seen any. I know you all are WAY FAR RIGHT. I’m center. I loved Reagan. I hate having the Dems in charge. I also know that we are a party dividend. Just close your eyes, listen and realize Kinzinger is our only path forward. It might not be in a few years but you will look back and think “Yeah, that guy is a leader”. Not afraid to lose his seat, not afraid to go against the grain. He’s Reagan like and makes me feel good about my beliefs. Just give it a listen and let the madness wash off you for a second.
