Georgia has long put policy over politics. It can again on gun safety.

Jan 13, 2025 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

The campaign slogan “Policy over Politics” played a major role in my 2018 successful bid to be Georgia’s 12th lieutenant governor. My critics dismissed the phrase as “focus group” generated and too Pollyanna to be taken seriously enough to be elected or have a chance to get results. They were wrong on both fronts.
Republicans appear to be winning, but it’s a close game

Dec 9, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

Whether it’s politics or everyday life, nothing is as bad or as good as it seems, goes the old saying. Some days are harder than others to buy into this notion, but here goes. On the surface, Republicans have everything to cheer about, and Democrats are standing hopelessly flat-footed after last month’s election. Starting Jan.
Trump’s success depends on Republicans holding him accountable

Nov 25, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

It’s still early, but there are encouraging signs that the system is holding in the opening act of the second Trump era. Matt Gaetz, the much maligned former Florida representative, withdrew from attorney general consideration after just eight days, when it became clear that he lacked the support from fellow Republicans. President-elect Donald Trump reportedly delivered the news personally, telling Gaetz he lacked the votes, even in a GOP-controlled Senate.
Trump won by throwing curveballs at Harris

My six seasons as a minor-league baseball pitcher taught me that the toughest losses typically produce the greatest lessons. Giving up a game-winning hit made that walk back from the mound to the locker room painfully longer than it typically felt, thanks to the cerebral collision between adrenalin and disappointment. Then came last Tuesday.
Geoff Duncan: This election is in the hands of the ‘whisper caucus’

Oct 28, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

As a visceral presidential election reaches its conclusion, two things are clear: The country is divided, and the polls are close. Having spent the past four years vehemently urging my fellow Republicans to move on from the divisive Trump era, I can quickly identify who the preferred team is for a particular community. My just-completed sixth trip to Pennsylvania for the Harris campaign proved to be no different.
Geoff Duncan: Even for Republicans, Harris is the logical step

As another turbulent election cycle enters its home stretch, the polls remain tight, and the race is still up for grabs. Though the ultimate winner is uncertain, one thing is clear: Over the past three months, Vice President Kamala Harris has put herself in the best possible position to pull off an unprecedented victory.
Republicans don’t need to lie to advance our policies

Oct 7, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

By now, former President Donald Trump’s willingness to deviate from the truth is well-documented. Topics range from broken core campaign promises such as the border wall (“I completed what I said I was going to do”) to the bizarre (“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats.”) to his refusal to concede that he lost our state in the 2020 election (“Does anybody really believe I lost Georgia?
Harris seeks to convince ‘Pennsyltucky’ voters she’s not the ‘radical’ Trump claims

Oct 4, 2024 | denvergazette.com | Naomi Lim |Geoff Duncan |Barbara Comstock

YORK, Pennsylvania — If Vice President Kamala Harris is to have any shot at beating former President Donald Trump this November, she needs to make inroads with the forgotten "Pennsyltucky" voter. Beyond the liberal enclaves of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Harris is making a play for conservative voters in the rural Appalachian region that runs from Pennsylvania to Kentucky.
Reluctant Republicans can be convinced to vote Harris

Sep 26, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

With less than six weeks before Election Day, it’s no secret that the presidential election will be determined by just a handful of battleground states. This week, two of those places near and dear to my heart played a prominent role: my home state of Georgia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Former President Donald Trump was in the beautiful city of Savannah on Tuesday, and Vice President Kamala Harris made her economic pitch in the hard working city of Pittsburgh on Wednesday.
Geoff Duncan: Kamala Harris can get Republicans back to principles

Sep 17, 2024 | ajc.com | Geoff Duncan

When Babe Ruth called his shot at Wrigley Field in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series before smashing a home run over the center field wall, he became a living legend. Having witnessed former President Donald Trump’s behavior the past decade and in the debate last week, I predict Vice President Kamala Harris will become the 47th president of the United States. It’s hardly a Ruthian prophecy.
