The Rogue Republican Who Dares to Abandon Trump's Ship In an era where party loyalty has become a defining characteristic of politicians, Geoff Duncan's candidacy for Georgia governor stands out as a stark reminder that even in deeply red states, there are still Republicans willing to break free from partisan orthodoxy.
As a former lieutenant governor turned Democrat, Duncan's bid to occupy the statehouse is less about winning an election than it is about forging a new path for his fellow conservatives who have grown disillusioned with the Trump era.
Duncan's decision to switch parties has come at a cost. His family received death threats after he testified against Trump's election claims, and his name was added to the former president's infamous enemies list.
