The Georgia Hour, episode 217: Georgia Special Elections, Resign-to-Fundraise, Lawsuits, and Trump Endorsements Incoming?

BKP delivers a rapid-fire, insider-style rundown of the exploding 2026 Georgia Republican primary chaos, technical glitches and all. Key themes and stories:Resign-to-Raise Money Trend ExplodesMultiple high-profile Republicans are resigning legislative seats to escape the 45-day legislative session fundraising blackout and campaign full-time via leadership PACs.State Sen. John F. Kennedy (Macon, District 76) just resigned to focus on Lt. Governor race and raise unlimited cash.Host predicts more will follow (Steve Gooch, Blake Tillery, Greg Dolezal all named).Will Wade is already running unopposed for Gooch’s seat; another special election looming.Lt. Governor Republican Primary Already Crowded and Brutal Current/former candidates mentioned: John F. Kennedy, David Clark (House), Greg Dolezal (Senate), Steve Gooch (Senate), Blake Tillery (Senate). More resignations expected.2026 Governor’s Race Turns Nasty EarlyAG Chris Carr is aggressively fundraising (BKP attended a small, high-dollar event in Blue Ridge). Carr privately tells donors Burt Jones cannot win a general election.Carr’s pitch: humble upbringing, “nothing handed to me” (clear shot at trust-fund Burt Jones).Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger files federal lawsuit to kill or “level-up” the 2021 leadership-committee law, claiming it gives Burt Jones an unfair $10M+ advantage. Jones camp fires back calling Raffensperger a “closeted Democrat who can’t win a primary.”GA-14 Congressional Free-For-All (MTG’s open seat)State Sen. Colton Moore officially announces.BKP grills Moore hard: must answer for past anti-MTG votes/statements, close ties to Thomas Massie & Matt Gaetz’s chief of staff, and significant money received from the controversial Frost family / GRA PAC (tied to alleged Ponzi-like scheme that wiped out retirees).BKP says Moore claims “100% Trump” but voters will demand answers on whether he’ll side with Massie/Gaetz over Trump in D.C.Other known candidates: Jim Tully, Jeff Criswell, Jerry Craig, etc.Rumors swirling that Reagan Box (current U.S. Senate candidate who lives in the 14th) may switch races and is actively seeking Trump’s endorsement.Other Quick HitsTwo state House special elections happening TODAY (HD-23 and HD-121).State Rep. Sharon Henderson indicted for pandemic unemployment fraud.Fani Willis in court begging GA Supreme Court to block Republican Senate committee from forcing her testimony (claims it’s just politics).MTG reveals 773 total threats on her life since 2021, many now targeting her son Derek.BKP remains openly suspicious that MTG is truly done with Georgia politics and might still jump into governor or GA-14 race.Side rant about coming “road usage tax” on electric vehicles and massive power-line/data-center buildup across rural Georgia.
