COMMENTARY
By Jay Bookman
If Georgians elect another Republican as governor, we know it won’t be a Republican in the mold of Brian Kemp or Nathan Deal. The two top candidates for the GOP nomination – a billionaire and a multi-millionaire – have spent fortunes making it clear to voters that Donald Trump, not Kemp, would be the model they emulate.
In part because of that loyalty to a politically damaged Trump, election analysts say that Georgia has a 50/50 chance this year of electing a Democratic governor for the first time this century. What on earth would that look like?
