A Georgian who formerly held his state’s second-highest post as a Republican has been expelled from the party following months of discord.

The Georgia Republican Party’s executive committee voted unanimously to oust Geoff Duncan, an ex-state lawmaker who also served as lieutenant governor until 2023, accusing him of undermining fellow Republicans.
