Trump's Horrible, No Good Georgia Primary Result

If Georgia is any indication - and it probably is - there are still plenty of disaffected Republican voters out there who want nothing to do with Donald Trump and his brand of odious politics. In large parts of Atlanta, around 40% of them voted for someone who isn't even running anymore.

Donald Trump lost a significant number of votes to Nikki Haley in the Georgia Republican primary despite running essentially unopposed.

The former president won Georgia on Tuesday with 84.5 percent of the vote, as well as winning Mississippi and Washington.

However, Haley, who dropped out of the GOP primary race in the wake of Super Tuesday, still received 13 percent of the Republican vote in Georgia, amounting to more than 77,000 ballots.

The results mean that Trump has now clinched the Republican nomination, setting up a rematch against President Joe Biden in the general election in November.

13% doesn't sound like much until you look where Haley got her votes: Fulton and DeKalb counties around Atlanta, where she received almost 40% of the vote. Better educated, more affluent areas that he'll need to beat Joe Biden in November. And if Georgia is any indication, he's not getting those voters.
