Georgia Republican Jake Evans said during an interview on Breitbart News Saturday that receiving former President Donald Trump’s endorsement this past week was “game-changing” for his congressional campaign.
Trump has invested heavily in Georgia in terms of endorsements. Several of his preferred candidates, such as former Sen. David Perdue, former state Rep. Vernon Jones, and Rep. Jody Hice, align with Trump’s goal to unseat Gov. Brian Kemp and Kemp’s allies, whom Trump says are to blame for Republican losses in Georgia in 2020.
Evans said his extensive background on the issue may have resonated well with the former president, who has been highly vocal about his grievances with Georgia’s 2020 election process. “So in 2020, what the Democrats did was they tried to use COVID as a pretext to erode away our electoral protections,” Evans explained. “And so what they did is they targeted the key swing states, one of which was Pennsylvania, and in Pennsylvania, they filed upwards of 20 cases all throughout the state in order to try to erode away our election laws and electoral protections. I represented the Pennsylvania House in all of these cases at the trial court level.
Now Evans, along with physician and military veteran Rich McCormick, are two of the top contenders who could flip the seat red in the general election now that it leans more toward Republicans.in the race and seem to have the most high-profile backers. While Evans nabbed the endorsement of Trump, McCormick is boasting support from the well-funded Club for Growth, a conservative group that promotes limited government and rarely splits with Trump on candidates.
