The much-debated power of former President Donald Trump’s endorsement will receive its latest test on Tuesday in Georgia’s District 3 Republican primary.
“For a lot of folks, that’s all it takes: ‘If Trump’s for him, I’m for him,’” said GOP strategist Brian Robinson.
Former Trump adviser Brian Jack is seen as the leader in a tight race to replace retiring Rep. Drew Ferguson and is the former president’s pick for the seat. Trump has posted multiple times encouraging voters to back the first-time candidate for the deep-red district and has praised Jack during visits to Georgia. But in a race filled with proven conservatives loyal to Trump, that endorsement may not be the deciding factor.
