In Georgia, 2020 may guide the Republican choice for governor in 2026, influence the Democratic primary for governor, and resonate in the U.S. Senate race.
Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state who rebuffed Trump’s efforts to overturn Biden’s Georgia victory is running for governor in 2026.
Geoff Duncan, who also opposed Trump’s push, is seeking the governorship as a “proud Democrat.” The current lieutenant governor, Republican Burt Jones, wears his support of Trump’s 2020 cause as a badge of honor.
Buzz Brockaway, a former Republican state legislator, said there’s a chance “relitigating the 2020 election” will dominate some Georgia races.
But in Georgia, 2020 is a factor in every marquee race.
