Not everyone in the state is convinced Raffensperger’s political career is over. Some still believe he has a future regardless of the hostility within his own party.
Politico reports Raffensperger was a “conventional Republican politician whose down-ballot election in 2018 went largely unnoticed outside his own state.”
But after the Georgia Secretary of State’s widely reported conflicts with Trump, over the state’s vote count, the landscape changed. Now, Georgia is “one of the most consequential states of the election cycle. It’s implications for the GOP in every state and at all levels of government may be impacted.”
Raffensperger’s reelection campaign may be one of the major indicators for what direction the Republicans are heading post-Trump. It will also test the idea the former president can take down his critics from the 2020 election.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution poll in January Raffensperger is the most popular Republican in Georgia. He is supposedly more popular than Kemp or Trump. And he has added a number of Democrats as fans.
