Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Duncan Joins Democrats After GOP Expulsion, Trump Calls Him ‘Total Loser’

Former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan has officially left the Republican Party to join the Democrats, citing fundamental disagreements with GOP policies and leadership, especially under President Trump. Duncan's decision was driven by his moral struggle to 'love my neighbor,' criticizing the GOP's stance on healthcare, Medicaid cuts, gun safety, immigration policies, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. He condemned Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia and described the Republican Party as being 'decimated and destroyed' under Trump's influence. In response, President Trump harshly criticized Duncan on Truth Social, calling him a 'total loser' who 'was never able to get anything done' and expressed relief that he left the GOP. Duncan's move has sparked a mix of reactions, with Duncan endorsing Democratic figures such as Kamala Harris and speaking at the Democratic National Convention. The split underscores ongoing internal GOP conflicts over Trump's leadership and policy directions.
