Donald Trump Jr. is touting Georgia businessman Rick Jackson as a MAGA-aligned champion in the states Republican gubernatorial primary while carefully stressing that his praise does not constitute a formal endorsement.
According to Just The News, Jackson is battling Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in a razor-thin contest, even though Jones already secured President Donald Trumps backing last year before Jackson entered the race and received Georgia Gov. Brian Kemps endorsement on Sunday. Trump Jr., highlighting Jacksons private-sector record in contrast to the failures of globalist supply chains and woke finance, wrote, When China threatened our amoxicillin supply, Rick saved the last amoxicillin manufacturing facility in America because he knows we cant let China control our entire supply of antibiotics. When the U.S. faced an oil refining shortage and the woke banks wouldnt finance a new one Rick stepped up again and became the largest outside investor.
Trump Jr. described Jackson as a good man, while adding in a comment that he considered Jones a good guy as well, signaling unity within the MAGA wing despite the intraparty rivalry. My only point is that no matter who wins tomorrow, its a victory for MAGA, Trump Jr. said, underscoring that grassroots conservatives will retain influence regardless of which candidate prevails.
Kemp campaigned alongside Jones on Monday, while U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, stumped for Jackson, reflecting a broader ideological split between the states establishment leadership and national conservative figures. An InsiderAdvantage poll taken Friday and Saturday showed Jackson at 49%, Jones at 46%, with 5% undecided, followed by a Monday survey from the same firm placing both men at 48% with a +/- 3% margin of error.
Georgias other marquee Republican contest is equally tight, as U.S. Rep. Mike Collins and Derek Dooley, the former Tennessee Volunteers head coach and son of legendary Georgia coach Vince Dooley, compete for the chance to take on Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff in November. Collins registered 50% to Dooleys 48%, with 2% undecided, as Kemp lined up behind Dooley and President Trump endorsed Collins, giving GOP voters another clear choice between the partys populist base and its more traditional leadership when polls open Tuesday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
