Ga. Election Expert Predicting Republican Victory In November

Charles Bullock, University of Georgia political scientist, says he can imagine scenarios in which Democrats claim victory.

The Georgia governor’s race is Republican Brian Kemp’s to lose, political scientist Charles Bullock, an expert on Georgia elections, told Oconee County Republicans on Thursday night.

β€œThe Republicans should win this,” Bullock, distinguished University of Georgia professor, said. β€œThis is still a Republican state.”

Republicans have to be united, he said, and the disruption from Washington has to be minimal.

β€œIf Republicans in any way drop the ball, mess up, then a Democrat could win,” Bullock said. β€œI am telling reporters that Stacey Abrams can’t win, but Brian Kemp could lose.”
