Duncan argued, “Republican slate is going to dominate the person supporting Donald Trump, and that person is going to be a puppet for Donald Trump.” “And no Georgian wants this. Nobody wants the Georgian to manage the discrepancies of Donald Trump as to how their children are educated, how their roads are protected and how the government interacts with those who need the most.”
Looking forward to the next year’s elections, when Georgia comes into the national headlines once again, Duncan said, “Georgia is going to remain the political center of the universe, as we look at the Senate race. As we look at this governor’s race. I think I think Georgia has an opportunity to lead the rest of the country, and I hope that we hop that we take advantage of it.
