MTG RESIGNS: The Georgia GOP Power Struggle That Just Exploded

In this fiery November 24, 2025 episode of "The Georgia Hour" on Voice of Rural America, host BKP delivers a no-holds-barred breakdown of MTG’s sudden resignation from Georgia’s 14th Congressional District and what it really means for Republican politics in the state.

Key points covered:
MTG did NOT get Donald Trump’s endorsement for either Governor or U.S. Senate because internal polling showed she is “too far right” to win statewide; she can’t reach independents or the Atlanta metro moderates.
Trump had already cut a deal with Governor Brian Kemp (the infamous October 2024 “handshake” after the Valdosta hurricane relief event) that essentially blocks MTG from higher office in exchange for Kemp’s turnout machine delivering Georgia in 2024.
Burt Jones (current Lt. Governor) and his wealthy family aggressively locked in Trump’s early endorsement for the 2026 governor’s race the moment MTG started sounding like a candidate at the June 2025 Georgia GOP convention.
With Senate and Governor doors slammed shut, MTG’s resignation from GA-14 is portrayed as a frustrated exit from Congress entirely, not a lateral move or launchpad to something bigger.
The vacated GA-14 seat will trigger a rapid special election (possibly with a runoff) that will run at the same time as the regular 2026 primary cycle, creating voter confusion and a mad scramble.
State Senator Colton Moore is already floating his candidacy for the seat, but BKP questions whether Moore has returned campaign money he previously received from the powerful Frost family and establishment PACs now that he’s positioning himself as an anti-establishment fighter.
Larger theme: Brian Kemp and his allies are systematically trying to control every lane of Georgia Republican politics (Governor, Senate, congressional seats, state party apparatus, and even the State Election Board).
BKP promises follow-up episodes exposing political consultants, flip-flopping candidates, and more insider dealings, while emphasizing he is not endorsing MTG despite acknowledging her remaining political capital in deep-red northwest Georgia.
The tone is classic Georgia grassroots: equal parts conspiracy-laden score-settling, insider gossip, and MAGA movement frustration with the party establishment. Whether you love or hate Marjorie Taylor Greene, the host argues her resignation just detonated the biggest GOP power struggle in Georgia since the 2022 Kemp-Purdue primary.
