<p>During a special runoff election in 2021, radical Democrat Raphael Warnock won a Senate seat in the state of Georgia.</p>
<p>Warnock defeated Republican Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed after former Senator Johnny Isakson resigned with three years left in his term. Because of this turnover, Warnock will face another Republican opponent in November 2022.</p>
<p>One possible Republican challenger to Warnock is businessman Kelvin King, who announced his candidacy in April.</p>
<p>I recently had the opportunity to speak with King about numerous issues. After noting that in the aftermath of each “Red Wave” election, Republicans seem to do little to push back on the leftist agenda, I asked King what the Republican Party needs to do differently.</p>
<p>King stated that the current narrative claiming Georgia is purple or even blue is simply not true, adding that politicians in the state should “take some notes form Virginia.”</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I think what we&#8217;re seeing in Georgia right now is a lack of leadership when it comes to our party putting up candidates that are uniting candidates versus dividing or divisive candidates. The Republican Party in Georgia specifically needs to maybe take some notes from Virginia. We need to make sure that we focus on the issues at hand, the pocketbook issues that every Georgian faces.</em></p>
<p><em>The increased cost of fuel, the increased cost of groceries, the increased cost of energy that we&#8217;re facing this winter. These are real issues right now. The concern around COVID, the concern around vaccine mandates. Those are real issues right now. When we can put a Republican on a ticket who is relatable, who knows the issues, that can debate the issues or communicate the issues in a way that&#8217;s uniting or inviting, that’s when you have a good candidate.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>King added that focusing these issues will not only help with moderates, but “bring some Democrats over to our ticket as well.”</p>

<p>TRANSCRIPT :</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Q: And that leads into my next question, which is, what does the Republican Party need to do differently in order to win in 2022 and beyond? Because it seems that every red wave election, in 2010 and 2014, comes and goes, and either the Republicans simply slow down the leftward motion of the country, or they stop it, but they don&#8217;t push back.</em></p>
<p><em>KING: Right. Right now in Georgia, I think the rhetoric is, or the narrative is that Georgia is purple, is trending blue, and that&#8217;s not true. It&#8217;s not true at all. I think what we&#8217;re seeing in Georgia right now is a lack of leadership when it comes to our party putting up candidates that are uniting candidates versus dividing or divisive candidates. The Republican Party in Georgia specifically needs to maybe take some notes from Virginia. We need to make sure that we focus on the issues at hand, the pocketbook issues that every Georgian faces. The increased cost of fuel, the increased cost of groceries, the increased cost of energy that we&#8217;re facing this winter. These are real issues right now. The concern around COVID, the concern around vaccine mandates. Those are real issues right now. When we can put a Republican on a ticket who is relatable, who knows the issues, that can debate the issues or communicate the issues in a way that&#8217;s uniting or inviting, that’s when you have a good candidate. I think that&#8217;s the strength of my candidacy to be frank with you.</em></p>
<p><em>My wife and I, we are a strong team in Georgia. We&#8217;re strong Republicans. We&#8217;ve been Republicans for a long time here in the state, and very active. But at the same time, when we speak, we talk about issues that are directly related to what the concerns are with the people. And that is making sure that jobs are available, good-paying jobs that people can make a living for themselves, that their kids can be educated properly, that they&#8217;re safe. And we can do that with Republican talking points, or Republican messages. And we can show that our lifestyle is representative of that; we can show that our upbringing is representative of that. Focusing on those key issues and playing the long game — I don&#8217;t want to be reactionary. I think that reactionary, the emotional responses that we saw this last election, that doesn&#8217;t bode well for Republicans or the Republican Party. It doesn&#8217;t show stability. It doesn&#8217;t show that we have our eye on what really matters — those three points that I mentioned earlier — and that&#8217;s what we bring to the Republican ticket. We can speak in a way that is received well, not just within the Republican Party, but also with the moderates. And we can bring some Democrats over to our ticket as well.</em></p></blockquote>
