Donald Trump’s reputation as the undisputed Republican king is on the ballot at today’s primaries in Georgia, where former Vice President Mike Pence appeared last night to further stab the knife in the back of his old boss.
When the polls dedicated to Trump and the former senator opened for the governor at the primaries this morning David Purdue trailer acting Brian Kemp by a significant margin.
Pence, a once loyal MP who ran for the White House in 2024, has intensified his disagreement with Trump by speaking out for Camp in Keneso on Monday night.
“If you say ‘yes’ to Governor Brian Kemp tomorrow, you will send a deafening message across America that the Republican Party is the party of the future,” Pence said in another scathing rebuke for Trump’s obsession with his defeat in the 2020 election.
Trump’s desire for revenge on Kemp for refusing to block Joe BidenVictory in Georgia or support for the big lie that the election was stolen has hardened in his support for Purdue, but if the polls turn out to be accurate and his chosen candidate diminishes, the value of Trump’s once-coveted support will decline even more.
Pence is among a number of high-ranking Republicans working on this, but unintentionally. At a conservative conference in Florida in February, Pence said Trump did it is wrong to think that elections can be annulledand that trying to do so was “non-American”.
In Georgia, in particular, elsewhere, including other critics of the Trump Republican and former and current governors Chris Christie New Jersey and Doug Dusi Arizona worked to weaken Trump’s influence.
According to Fr. Analysis of New York Today, most of the big candidates who support the lies he backed in the Republican primary in this by-election have won, but many have run without opposition or against unknown or poorly funded opponents.
His record in big races is less convincing. Famous TV doctor Mehmet Oz failed to strike a knockout blow at the Pennsylvania Senate primaries, and is still in the castle tough race with a former Treasury official David McCormickwhich is sent to the list of votes.
And an extremist, scandalous congressman Madison Cowthorne was rejected in North Carolina, despite Trump’s pleas to voters to give him another chance.
My colleagues Sam Levin and Alvin Chang so looked at the supporters of the big lies supported by Trump, who are running for office in several states, which, according to many, is a disturbing attack on democratic principles in the United States:
While Mike Pence personally held a rally with Brian Kemp in Georgia on Monday night, Donald Trump appeared on a virtual link to stand up for David Purdue, his choice to run for Republican in the gubernatorial election this fall.
Purdue, Trump said in a statement on election day issued Tuesday morning, complete with random capital letters, is “a Conservative fighter who is not afraid of the radical left, and is the only candidate in Georgia who can defeat Stacy ‘The Hoax’ Abrams ’in November.
AbramsWorld Health Organization lost to Kemp in 2018without opposition claims to be nominated by the Democratic Party.
Echoing the lie that Kemp “allowed massive election fraud” in Georgia in 2020, Trump insisted: “he can’t win because MAGA [make America great again] the base, which is huge, will never vote for him. “
Trump then reiterated his support for the former NFL star Herschel Walker for nomination to the Senate of Georgia, the primary race in which he dominated, according to polls.

It’s a day of reckoning, sort of, for Donald Trumpif its a big supporting lie endorser David Purdue takes on responsibilities Brian Kemp in the long-awaited republican primaries for the post of governor of Georgia.
Kemp became the target of the former president, refusing to block Joe BidenVictory in the state, but led by former Senator Georgia Purdue by a wide margin in numerous polls. And last night Mike PenceTrump’s former vice president, appeared at a rally for Kemp in another rebuke to his old boss.
A defeat by Purdue would seriously damage Trump’s carefully crafted reputation as a Republican king.
Other intriguing races take place in Texaswhere the incumbent congressman-democrat Henry Cuellar faces tough challenges from the progressive Jessica Cisnerasand in Alabamawhere the congressman is from the Republicans and loyal to Trump Mo Brooks seeks party nomination to the Senate, losing Trump’s approval.
