Former President Donald Trump was angry that his candidate, David Purdue, lost the Republican presidential election in Georgia and described him as “lazy,” according to The Washington Post.
Trump’s approval strategy failed in a series of primary elections, most notably in Georgia last week, where two of his approved candidates collapsed and won their primary.
Perdue was defeated by incumbent President Brian Kemp, receiving 21% of the vote, compared to 73% of Kemp. In the race for secretary of state, incumbent President Brad Rafensberger defeated Trump-backed candidate Jodie Hayes.
Trump’s advisers told the Post that the former president now views the candidates he backed in the race as “uncomfortable”, adding that he considered Purdue lazy.
Trump has invested heavily in political races in Georgia, where he wanted revenge on Kemp and Rafensperger for refusing to support his false claim that he lost his state to Joe Biden in 2020 due to fraud.
The former president is campaigning for Perdue, which is based on his campaign to promote Trump’s election fraud “Big Lie”. Trump gave $ 2.64 million to Purdue’s campaign from his own political fund.
Purdue is a former U.S. senator and lost his seat in a fierce runoff in early 2021, where some Republican critics accused Trump’s fixation of making allegations of election fraud to reduce Republican turnout.
Trump himself faced accusations of laziness while in office. White House documents suggest that he blocks most of the day to watch reports about himself on cable television and will not bother to read briefings.
Trump also spent a lot of free time playing golf, far exceeding the number of rounds he had repeatedly criticized Barack Obama for playing while president.
Over the weekend, Trump continued his attempts to reshape the Republican Party by holding a rally in Wisconsin as part of his campaign to oust Republican Republican critic Liz Cheney, who is on committee on Jan. 6.
