GA GOP Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan: 'Hate poured in' after I said 'President-elect Biden' on television
After the 2020 election, Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan of Georgia was concerned that the party was continuing to entertain the election conspiracy theories perpetuated by then-President Donald Trump, to the point where it threatened the electoral fates of GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
Perdue and Loeffler had fallen short of the 50% threshold in their races in the November election, forcing them to compete with Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, respectively, in dual runoff elections to represent the fast-growing Deep South swing state in the Senate.
The outcome of the races would determine control of the upper chamber.
Duncan, who sought to focus on conservative policy successes and less on unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, including Trump's belief that votes had "come out of ceilings and come out of leather bags," wrote about the scorn he received for rejecting GOP "groupthink" in his newly-released book, "GOP 2.0."
