Politico: “The eruption unnerved Trump’s Republican allies — and marked a potential turning point in his presidential campaign in a key state. Kemp not only controls a vaunted turnout operation in Georgia but also has a track record of assembling the kind of coalition of traditionalist Republicans and independents that Trump will be counting on to carry the swing state in November.”
“Following the rally, even Trump’s advisers seemed to know the former president had gone too far.”
Said one Georgia GOP operative: “The Trump campaign was calling around to legislators… asking them to post positive things about the rally on social media and were being told, ‘No.’”
Axios: “Georgia is Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania. It’s as hard to see him winning the presidency without Georgia as it would be for Vice President Kamala Harris to win without Pennsylvania.”
