Kingston Grabs Momentum in Georgia
Thursday, June 19th, 2014
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) has the momentum against businessman David Perdue (R) and is close to giving Republicans the Senate nominee they’ve long wanted.
But questions about shady campaign donations could still roil the race ahead of the July 22 runoff and November general election.
Kingston has netted high-profile endorsements from both establishment and Tea Party Republicans since he and Perdue advanced past the primary in late May.
And the 11-term congressman has led Perdue by double-digit margins in the few public polls of the race. Democrats privately admit that if he’s the nominee, he’ll be tough for former charity executive Michelle Nunn (D) to beat.
