Candidates head for a runoff in north metro state Senate race

5. Politics can be wacky when you have a "comfortable" majority

I.e., the "enemy" is no longer the other party but those within your party who don't strictly adhere to the "leader"'s agenda. And for them, that means MAGat vs RINO.

I don't know the philosophies of those top two GOPers and whether they are trying to out-MAGat each other or are MAGat vs something else, but that would make a difference.

But note that GA has become "swing" recently, including having the unthinkable 2 Democratic Senators (and was close even in 2024), versus IA, that swung blue in 2008/2012, but hasn't swung back since. Am hoping the trend will continue! Certainly Ossoff hopes so.
