    It’s like nobody ready the article. It says she’s considering challenging Kemp in a primary for Georgia Governor because he’s not defending Trump.

    Edit: apparently I can read better - she wants to run against Kemp in the primary when he runs for Senate, not Governor.

      What a crappy headline… Poorly executed click-bait that misinforms more than it informs.

      But Kemp’s serving his second term as Governor. He can’t run again unless he waits 4 years after he’s out of office. Which will be in 2026. EmptyG would have a whole another term as a congresswoman before we vote on the governor

      I also didn’t read the article, but are you sure that’s what it said?

        Ah, I slightly misread - she wants to run against him in the primary when he runs for Senate. I’ll edit my comment. Thanks for pointing that out.

          It’s all good. I think the bot kind of messed up the summary too.

          If he does run for senate, I’ll do my best to keep him out. We’ve got two great senators right now, I don’t think he can beat either one. But who knows, it’s all going to come down to messaging.

    Clickbait title much? It’s because she’s considering a Senate run or being Trump’s VP.

        Goddamn I hope she runs for gov.

        Kemp is term-limited. He has to sit out from the office for the next term before he can run again, which means he’ll probably seek some other office in the meantime. And whatever he runs for he’s almost certain to get.

        People talk about GA being a swing state, but it fucking isn’t. MAGA doesn’t do great statewide, but the GOP has near total control with little contest.

        MTG on the ticket is EXACTLY what the GA Dems need to make some serious inroads in statewide elections.

        That’s a misread of the article/summary. It’s saying that Kemp (the current GA governor) is talking about a Senate run and MTG would challenge him in a primary for the GOP Senate nomination.

          Yeah, somehow I don’t think she’s actually stupid enough to run for governor where she’d actually have to handle anything significant or within this realm of reality. Congressional troll or VP-hype-troll is a better fit for her.

        At least Pence had the decency to stand up to Trump and finalize the votes. I mean he drew the line in the sand just before committing treason, but he at least drew it somewhere. Can’t say the same for a lot of other Republicans right now.

      I don’t think that’s clickbait. I assumed running for a different office was by far the most likely reason before even clicking.

    Did her state introduce a literacy test she can’t pass?

    Or will she refuse because reading all those erotic stories would be a sin.

    IE: she’s been offered a high-paying job fucking something else up in the private sector, probably to as much of the detriment of the human race as scientifically possible.

        I don’t even think Republicans are stupid enough to entertain that notion, but I’ve been sadly wrong before when estimating the stupidity of the GOP.

      It’s a clickbate headline. She’s considering running for a higher office.
