‘It’s Fractured’: Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan On Healing Republican Party
Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan announced this week that he is not seeking reelection in 2022.
Duncan told WABE’s “All Things Considered” host Jim Burress that in the coming months, he will focus his political energy on “healing and rebuilding” the Republican Party — which he called damaged but not destroyed.
His focus now rests on a nationwide movement that champions conservative causes – GOP 2.0.
Duncan describes the organization as helping Republicans climb out of the huge hole created by a tumultuous November 2020 election and the fallout. Duncan told Burress that Republicans now must change their tone in future elections — and to be conservative, must also mean to be empathetic.
Since November, Duncan has also had a front row seat to watch former President Donald Trump’s voter fraud misinformation campaign, as well as his attempts to ask Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” the votes needed to overturn the state election in his favor.
Burress started the interview by asking Duncan what role Trump played in his decision to not run again in 2022.
