The former lieutenant of Georgia, Governor Geoff Duncan, falls possible to be in office after his visit to the Democratic Party

The former Lieutenant-Governor of Georgia Geoff Duncan hinted a possible candidacy for a superior office as a democrat after having announced that he was leaving the Republican Party.

Duncan, who was the Lieutenant-Governor of Republican from 2019 to 2023, said that he was planning to run for higher functions after revealing his visit to the Democratic Party earlier this week, with a decision concerning his political future potentially to come in the coming weeks or months, according to WSB-TV.

“I think the Georgians want people who can tell the truth in power in the middle,” he told the point of sale.

He did not specify which superior office he could seek, but he was hypothesized that he could launch a campaign so that the governor succeeded in the limited republican governor Brian Kemp, with whom Duncan served during his time as a lieutenant-government.

The notable names already in the race for the post of governor for the 2026 elections include Keisha launches Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta who then worked in the Biden administration, and – on the republican side – the Lieutenant -Governor of the current Georgia Burt Jones and the prosecutor General Chris Carr.

In an editorial in the Atlanta-Donstitution newspaper published on Tuesday, Duncan wrote that his way to become a Democrat had been years in the making, starting before the president Donald Trump tried to reverse his loss against former President Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.

“My trip to become a Democrat began long before Donald Trump tried to steal the 2020 elections in Georgia,” Duncan wrote in the newspaper.

“There is no date on a calendar or a line in the sand which points to the exact moment my political heart has changed, but it did it,” he continued. “My decision was centered on my daily struggle to love my neighbor, as a republican.”

Trump responded to Duncan’s party switch saying that the former Lieutenant Governor is a “total loser” who is no longer wanted in the Republican Party.

“The former lieutenant of Lieutenant Geoff Duncan, from Georgia, is a total loser,” Trump on Trump Social on Friday. “Could never do anything, everything he has ever done was complaining. We didn’t want him anymore in the Republican Party, so I am told that he became a Democrat. Good GEOFF riddle. You don’t even have any chance !!!”

Duncan stressed several political questions that played a role in his decision to change their parties, criticizing the Republicans for their treatment of questions such as health care, Medicaid, firearms security, immigration and how to help the poor.

He wrote that his time in the office taught him the best way to “love my neighbor” is through public policy. Before his time as a Lieutenant-Governor, he served in the Georgia House from 2013 to 2017. He chose not to present himself to his re-election as a lieutenant-governor in 2022.

Duncan’s decision to leave the GOP comes after the Georgia Republican Party expelled him from the party earlier this year to alleged disloyalty. The resolution of the party cited his approval from Biden in the presidential election of 2024 and, once he abandoned, his approval of the former vice-president Kamala Harris, as well as alleged efforts to undermine and sabotage some Republican candidatesIncluding Jones and failed the Senate candidate in 2022, Herschel Walker.

The former Republican also spoke during the National Democrat Convention in August to support Harris.

“Geoff Duncan has finally said aloud what anyone in their eyes has known for years: he is a democrat,” said the President of the Georgia Republican Party Josh McKoon in WSB-TV.

Duncan has been a vocal critic of Trump and the Republican Party in recent years, in particular since the president’s efforts to overthrow his electoral loss in 2020 and January 6, 2021, Capitol Riot.

“There is not like a line in the sand or a moment in time. It was a series of parallel processes. One, looking at the heart and the soul of the republican party, it is enough to make it suck up by Donald Trump and those who follow him closely,” Duncan told WSB-TV.

Duncan wrote in OP-ED that the expenditure bill supported by Trump which had been signed last month will leave the funding of Medicaid “in ruins” because it reduces hundreds of billions of dollars in the government program. He also criticized the measurement of his cuts on the additional nutrition aid program, more commonly known as food coupons, and his impact on the guarantee that children are not hungry in school.

He also underlined the polls showing support for the control measures of firearms such as the universal checks of history and the laws on the red flag.

The former republican also criticized the immigration policies of the expulsion of the Trump administration which, according to him, “have turned into a lesson on how not to love your neighbor”. He said that immigration policy should focus on securing the border, to expel those of the country illegally who have committed crimes, but that a way to citizenship should be created for other migrants in the United States

“The list of the reasons why I am now a democrat continues to grow,” wrote Duncan. “Most importantly, my decision puts me in the best possible position every day to love my neighbor.”
