Musk Exits DOGE, Vought Takes Over, Kemp-Trump Valdosta Deal, Kemp’s Vow for 2026

Elon Musk steps down from DOGE, with Project 2025 archi­tect Rus­sell Vought tak­ing over, spark­ing Demo­c­ra­t­ic fury. Media claims Trump aims to end habeas cor­pus are false; due process remains intact. Georgia’s 2026 Sen­ate pri­ma­ry looms chaot­ic as John King, a Kemp appointee and pro-Trump fig­ure, enters the race, rais­ing ques­tions about Kemp’s influ­ence and a rumored Val­dos­ta Trump-Kemp deal. With no major incum­bents except pos­si­bly the Super­in­ten­dent, the GOP faces a crowd­ed field for con­sti­tu­tion­al offices, promis­ing a heat­ed pri­ma­ry sea­son unseen since 1999. Spec­u­la­tion grows: is Kemp con­trol­ling the bal­lot, and has King secured Trump’s endorse­ment?

• Elon Musk is leav­ing DOGE and Rus­sell Vought, OMB direc­tor and author of Project 2025,  is tak­ing over DOGE. 
• The media is going on about how Trump is going to get rid of “Writ of Habeas Cor­pus” Arti­cle 1, sec­tion 9, clause 2… mean­ing due process. It is not going to be done away with. 
• Can Geor­gia Repub­li­cans avoid a messy US Sen­ate pri­ma­ry? The sen­ate pri­ma­ry is the lead in the 2026 elec­tion. Then fol­lows all the con­sti­tu­tion­al offices. In Geor­gia the whole slate of con­sti­tu­tion­al offi­cers are up at one time. This is the year that there are no incum­bents going into the office, pos­si­bly the only incum­bent would be the Super­in­ten­dent. So as peo­ple start jock­ey­ing for posi­tions oth­er things open up, com­pet­i­tive state sen­ate races and state house races. It will be a pri­ma­ry sea­son unlike any oth­er sea­son remem­bered since 1999. Kemp passed up the top draw­ing card, the US Sen­ate seat. In pol­i­tics the first thing is name recog­ni­tion? What’s up with this? Insur­ance chief John King jumps into Georgia’s Sen­ate race. John King gets appoint­ed after the removal of Jim Beck, where Josh McK­oon and Travis Bow­den worked, as he gets sen­tenced to go to jail. The entire year, John King has been very pro-Trump. Why would a Bri­an Kemp appointee put out a Trump sup­port­er. Is Kemp try­ing to con­trol the bal­lot in 2026? Kemp hopes to part­ner with Trump to avoid a messy GOP bat­tle for Geor­gia Sen­ate seat. John King is Kemp’s guy. Why can’t Kemp just let the vot­ers decide who will be on the bal­lot? What was the deal in Val­dos­ta between Kemp and Trump? Who told John King to get in the race? Has he been promised the Trump endorse­ment for the Sen­ate?
