“President Donald Trump heads to Georgia on Saturday to campaign for two Republican senators one month ahead of a critical runoff that will determine which party controls the Senate. But Trump’s visit comes as he has spent the last several weeks consumed by his own election loss while attacking party officials in the state, casting doubt on its voting process and questioning one of the lawmakers he’s urging voters to elect.”
“According to two sources, during a recent phone call Trump blasted Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp as a ‘moron’ and ‘nut job’ and asked why Sen. Kelly Loeffler did not secure a majority of votes on Election Day, placing her in a runoff against the Democrat Rev. Raphael Warnock. Last December, Trump had lobbied Kemp to fill the seat vacated by Johnny Isakson with Doug Collins, not Loeffler, but Kemp appointed Loeffler anyway – a factor Trump has harped on in recent days. Trump’s private and public broadsides have raised concerns among Republicans that his interference could do more harm than good in the pivotal races” – CNN.
