The ex-president mobilized once morest Governor Brian Kemp in the Republican primary. It symbolizes a struggle for the future of the party.
Donald Trump’s tip to Mehmet Oz, the celebrity surgeon and TV show he supported with the Republican primaries for the Pennsylvania Senate election, was short and sweet and typically Trump: “Declare yourself the winner.” The problem is, however that the election is far from decided: Oz leads by around 1000 votes – or 0.1 percentage points – ahead of financial investor David McCormack, his adversary. Which would automatically result in a recount.
The primary election season in the US reaches its peak on Tuesday in Georgia. The ex-president’s vendetta is aimed at his party friends in Atlanta, who he believes let him down in the 2020 presidential election. Governor Brian Kemp and Secretary of the Interior Brad Raffensberger withstood pressure and threats from the White House to annul the election. Even following a recount, Joe Biden was still around 14,000 votes ahead of Trump. And in a runoff election two months later, the citizens of the “Peach State” voted out both Republican senators – a sensation and at the same time a signal to the Republicans.
