:So here's the story: Sen. [[Johnny Isakson]], re-elected in 2016, resigned in December 2019. Under Georgia law, whenever an incumbent senator resigns, an interim is to be appointed by the governor, though there must be an election to be held in the nearest election cycle in the form of a jungle primary to determine who finishes the term or serves for a full six-year term, depending on what cycle that jungle primary takes place in. That "primary" is just an election coinciding with all other general elections where every candidate's name is placed next to each other on the ballot, and if no one receives a majority of the vote, then a runoff is to be held between the top two. It was requested that Brian Kemp appoint [[Doug Collins]] to the Senate seat, but he decided to appoint [[Kelly Loeffler]]. Collins later in January 2020 announced his run, and other candidates such as Matt Lieberman and Raphael Warnock did too. Initially it was kind of a four=way tie, but after Loeffler came under fire over allegations of insider trading amidst the [[CCP pandemic]], Collins took a sharp lead that held for a few months. During this time, Lieberman and Warnock also roughly were split among Democrat support. However, as time went on, Collins began to trail in the polling kept on hovering between 2nd/3rd place. The Democrat establishment backed Warnock, and Lieberman's support evaporated due to that as well as coming under controversy for writing a racist book. The GOP establishment and even many conservatives like [[Marsha Blackburn]] backed Loeffler; thus, Warnock won the jungle primary with a plurality, Loeffler trailed in second place, and Collins in third place. Now Loeffler and Warnock are headed to the runoff in January 2021, where it could be a tossup. —[[User:Liberaltears|<code><span style="color:black; background:#FFABAB">'''LT'''</span></code>]]'''''[[User:Liberaltears/mail|^{May D.C., his mother, and I.S. be all well!}]]''''' Saturday, 20:17, 13 November 2020 (EST)
