US EditionGeoff Duncan, a former Republican, announces bid for Georgia governor as a Democrat
Geoff Duncan, expelled from the GOP for opposing Trump, aims to address child care, housing, and Medicaid expansion as Georgia's next Democratic governor.
- On Tuesday, former Georgia lieutenant governor Geoff Duncan launched his 2026 bid, pledging to expand Medicaid and tackle child care and housing costs as priorities.
- Earlier this year the Georgia GOP formally expelled Geoff Duncan after he spoke at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and opposed GOP stances on Medicaid and gun regulation debates.
- In his campaign announcement video, Geoff Duncan declared `I’ve never wavered in taking on Trump` and tied his run to a feud with President Donald Trump, who criticized him on social media.
- He joins a Democratic primary that already includes Keisha Lance Bottoms, Jason Esteves, and Michael Thurmond, with the outcome determining if his party switch can secure the nomination.
- Georgia's recent swing-state trajectory makes the governor's race nationally consequential as it flipped in recent presidential contests and elected two Democratic U.S. Senate seats, raising stakes for next year's governor's race.
