Trump Orchestrated Push to Discredit Georgia Election

President Trump and his top allies pressured Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA) to denounce Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) “lest he tweet a negative word about them and risk divorcing them from his base ahead of the consequential runoff,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

“And shortly after, Trump and some of his inner circle started tweeting attacks at Raffensperger, who was already unpopular with many in the Georgia GOP base long before Tuesday’s vote.”
