Republican attorney general blames Trump for Georgia midterm losses
Asked what went wrong for Republicans in Georgia, Chris Carr names the same person three times.
"Three things: Donald Trump, Donald Trump, and Donald Trump," the state's Republican attorney general says in an interview excerpt shared by CNN.
The interviewer follows up: "No equivocation there?" Carr then describes the election as a rejection of the president, citing voters' dissatisfaction with affordability, policies and Trump's behavior. "But at the end of the day, this was a complete and total repudiation of Donald Trump," he says.
The criticism comes from within Trump's party. Carr has served as Georgia's attorney general since 2016 and unsuccessfully sought the Republican nomination for governor in 2026.
CNN's clip, marked as recorded in Atlanta on November 6 and carrying a WXIA credit, gained about 445,000 views since yesterday. Its focus is Carr's verdict on the losses: he places responsibility on the president rather than offering a candidate-by-candidate explanation.
