The question in Georgia's Republican circles is no longer only whether Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) will beat Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) in November, it's how much damage Collins does to everyone else on the ballot, according to an analysis published by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Democratic lawmakers introduced a Georgia voting rights act aimed at protecting the voting rights of voters of color in the state. The bill comes as elections are under severe duress in the Peach State, and follows the FBI’s raid of a county election hub for 2020 election materials.

Unfortunately Trump supporters do not measure his success by what he does FOR them, they measure what he does AGAINST people they hate or dislike. That's why they see him as ‘successful’. That is why they will NEVER abandon him. Trump’s vulgarity and hatred of ‘others’ stokes the Maga-Cult.
