That has created a deep tear between the Georgia secretary of state and Republicans in his state, many of whom continue to echo the president\u2019s false claims of widespread fraud.<\/p>\n
Now, Raffensperger is running for governor \u2014 and Trump just made 2020 the top issue in the GOP primary again.”<\/p>\n
