Former President Donald Trump was "stunned" by Brad Raffensperger's victory in the Georgia secretary of state Republican primary over his hand-picked candidate, conservative Rep. Jody Hice, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Raffensperger, who rejected Trump's repeated entreaties to "find" additional votes to invalidate President Joe Biden's statewide win in November 2020, won last Tuesday's GOP primary with 52 percent of the vote, compared to 33 percent for Hice.
The incumbent secretary of state carried most Georgia counties in the primary, only coming up short in the collection of counties that make up the rural-heavy 10th House district, which Hice represents in Congress.
Two senior Republicans with ties to Trump told the paper that the former president expected Raffensperger to go down in defeat against Hice, who staked his campaign on the incumbent's handling of the 2020 presidential election.

(182 posts)and voted for Raffensperger. If Hice would have won he would surely do anything TFG would ask of him. I was not alone, the Secretary of State office claims that over 8% of the people that asked for a republican ballot had voted in the democratic primary back in 2020.

(6,617 posts)I am one of those that requested the repug primary ballot so I could vote against all of pigtrump's picks. Too bad Walker got the nod since he's turned himself into a stupid Magazombie. Oh well, we'll get rid of him in the general.

This is what all states need to tell him ... he's NOT WELCOME and we really don't care who he wants to win.
For sure I hope that's what Pennsylvania will tell Chump when he tries to interfere in our election for Governor and U.S. Senator. We'll tell him, "Go home Chump. You can't vote here, and you're not wanted here."
