ALPHARETTA, Ga. (AP) – Kelly Loeffler had a warning.
The former U.S. senator from Georgia, defeated in a January runoff amid Republican infighting, told her hometown GOP committee Saturday that only a unified party can avoid a repeat in the 2022 midterms.
“What I saw in my campaign is that we need to do better. We just need to get to work doing it,” Loeffler told Fulton County Republicans at their annual convention.
Yet Republicans can’t seem to get past 2020.
In the hours after Loeffler’s plea, at least a half-dozen local party committees voted to condemn their fellow Republicans, including Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, for not helping overturn President Donald Trump’s November defeat. Two counties already had done so.
