Donald Trump was “stunned” that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger handily won his GOP primary last week despite the former president’s best efforts to drive him out of office, sources told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Raffensperger stood up to Trump after the 2020 presidential election, flatly denying Trump’s order to find him extra votes to transform his defeat into a victory.
Raffensperger also denied Trump’s claim that the Georgia vote was somehow rigged, declaring that several investigations had found nothing wrong.
Trump endorsed U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who got 33% of the vote, compared with Raffensperger’s 52%.
Raffensperger’s upset win may be linked in part to Democratic crossover votes. His victory was the one that surprised Trump the most, according to the Journal-Constitution.
Trump is now facing even worse Raffensperger news.

Time for Trump to sabotage the Georgia GOP. Can't have Kemp and Raffensperger winning. Trump's ego is more important. He needs to tell Georgia MAGA crowd to stay home on election day.

Democracy is proving harder to break than he thought. (I’m going to enjoy watching his reaction as his relevance slips away.)
