Georgia is represented by 14 members in the U.S. House, including four Democrats, all of whom are Black.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1672\">Trump\u2019s Handpicked Fed Chair Betrays Him at First Test<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should demand that State Legislatures do what the Supreme Court says must be done,\u201d wrote Trump, who is facing widespread disapproval of his job performance that Republicans worry could weigh on midterm prospects, after the Supreme Court\u2019s decision. \u201cThat is more important than administrative convenience. The byproduct is that the Republicans will receive more than 20 House Seats in the upcoming Midterms!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Republicans in Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana quickly heeded the 80-year-old president\u2019s call, pushing through new congressional maps for the midterm cycle that erased several districts long held by Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>In Georgia, however, Kemp defied Trump\u2019s push, calling a special session to consider new maps for the 2028 election cycle rather than the 2026 midterms. <\/p>\n<p>Georgia Republicans\u2019 decision to call off that special session marks the president\u2019s latest setback in the state.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday evening, Billionaire Rick Jackson won the Republican runoff to become the nominee for governor, beating the Trump-endorsed candidate, Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones.<\/p>\n<p>The winner will face off against former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who easily won her Democratic primary for governor with the backing of former President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Georgia is seen as a deeply competitive state with Democrats winning both Senate seats in the most recent statewide elections and President Joe Biden flipping the state blue in 2020 before it swung back for Trump in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=1670\">Trump Ripped for Total Surrender Peace Deal Debacle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Georgia Republicans have thrown a wrench into President Donald Trump\u2019s bid to secure an edge in the battle for control of Congress.
