Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp nominated political newcomer Kelly Loeffler to replace retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) despite President Donald Trump’s reported preference for Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.).
“From the farm to the New York Stock Exchange, Kelly Loeffler has lived the American Dream. I’m confident that she will work every single day to keep that same dream alive for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come. Kelly Loeffler will stand with the President, Senator Perdue, and their allies in the U.S. House and Senate,” Kemp said in a Wednesday statement.
