he wants to claim that it was stolen the next time. and so, the first step for him is personnel, right? it s replacing politicians like governor brian kemp, and secretary of state brad raffensperger, who are political allies, republicans, who simply didn t go along with a plan. and on the eve of the primary election tomorrow, where this is the key thing that trump is focused on, kemp looks safe for now. raffensperger, secretary of state, the man who once the election, we don t know. that could be a real race. the guardians of the national she s been covering elections including the run for georgia primary tomorrow. ian bassin executive director of protective mockery, cnn profit election. also serves as associate white house counsel to president barack obama, and they both join me now. amy, i wanna start with you. there s been so much focus on the kemp race, understandably. high profile, you know, you ve got vice president, former vice
republican primaries for governor, and for secretary of state. two trump backed candidates are essentially running single issue campaigns, on the ex president s big lie of a stolen election. you ve got former senator david perdue, close trump ally, who lost his senate seat last year. he s challenging the incumbent republican governor, brian kemp. and you ve got far-right congressman jody hice, who s hoping to oust the current incoming secretary of state, brad raffensperger. these races are notable, not only as a referendum on trump s attempt to do, but also to set the groundwork for the next one. because out of all of trump s attempts to overturn the will of the voters and steal the election, what is the state of georgia, where he put his most effort? part of that of course has to do with how humiliated trump appears to have felt by his defeat over there, not only because the election was widely seen as repudiation to him and
this fall but the other ways i wanna talk about real quick is bordeaux, and lucy mcbath. we re gonna end up losing a great deal of congress, no matter what. that is such a shame. their two solid candidates and one of them is gonna be no longer in congress. thank you very much. and that s it. that s tonight s read out. thank you for joining us from beautiful atlanta and all in with chris hayes starts now. tiful atlanta and all in with chr is hayes starts now. tonight on all in. brian kemp is a turncoat. he s a coward, and is a complete and total disaster. as republicans prepared to go to the polls in georgia, it s trump versus pence. the former president, backing one candidate for governor, the former vice president backing another. tonight, the future of democracy in georgia is on the ballot. and why for trump, it s personal. i just want to find 11,780 votes. the impact of the threat to
powers. when you listen to these focus groups, you talk to republican borders, they re certainly ones that say i like him, i like some of the policies, i m ready to move forward. here s the thing, though, there is nobody in any of these primaries, in any races, that want to meaningfully move on from him who is successful that ohio senate race was the one. this show, talking about, that look, even in the camper race, here is kemp today. during a press conference, i had a great relationship with president, trump i never said anything bad about, him i don t plan on doing. so i am not mad at him. you know, so, this is the guy that s supposed to be moving on? he s begging trump not to get rid of. and so, that s the, think there s a little bit of weighing in his popularity. but he saw a lot going from. yeah, i think that s a great point, no one will defy him and end up being more meaningful in terms of the policy and in terms of the direction of american democracy than anything else. tim m
including the run for georgia primary tomorrow. ian bassin executive director of protective mockery, cnn profit election. he also serves as associate white house counsel to president barack obama, and they both join me now. amy, i wanna start with you. there s been so much focus on the kemp race, understandably. high profile, you know, you ve got vice president, former vice president pence pence today, stumping for kemp. there s been way less attention, to me in some ways it s a more significant rate, which is secretary of state race, precisely because in the gubernatorial race, you know, there is a whole bunch of policy issues at play, right? and the secretary of state race, like it s pretty clear that trump once highest brad raffensperger because he didn t steal the election. what the race look like from the perspective of a republican primary voters?
