New details continue to emerge regarding the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

In his new book, “Flipped: How Georgia Turned Purple and Broke the Monopoly on Republican Power,” Atlanta Journal-Constitution politics reporter Greg Bluestein delves into the characters and narratives that shaped the 2020 election cycle, as well as the attempts to overturn the results.

Among the book’s revelations, Bluestein writes that then-U.S. Senator David Perdue warned former President Donald Trump ahead of 2020 that the Georgia Republican Party was in big trouble — that low early voter turnout signaled neither could guarantee a re-election win.
