0:55Now PlayingSenator Kelly Loeffler’s campaign was designed to broaden the Republican Party’s appeal to voters in Georgia’s increasingly Democratic suburbs -- instead the race has turned into a contest in which each side is hardening its core supporters and few undecideds remain.
One of the main reasons Georgia Governor Brian Kemp tapped Loeffler to fill Senator Johnny Isakson’s seat last year was that she might appeal to White suburban women who have been pivotal in recent elections and have been trending toward Democrats.
From the start, Loeffler described herself as a “lifelong conservative, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Trump, pro-military and pro-wall.”
And ever since, amid President Donald Trump’s baseless insistence that he lost Georgia to President-elect Joe Biden only because of widespread election fraud -- charges that have divided the state GOP -- Loeffler has only hardened her positions to ensure that loyal Republicans show up for a January runoff.
