Geoff Duncan, the former lieutenant governor of Georgia who supported Kamala Harris in the presidential election, has been expelled from the state party, he announced on Tuesday. Along with booting Duncan, the state executive committee demanded that he stop calling himself a Republican and banned him from state GOP events. The party can’t actually decide who calls themself a Republican, but the spat is the latest between Duncan and the MAGA wing of the Georgia Republicans. The one-term lieutenant governor was previously told to stop calling himself a Republican in August when he endorsed Harris and spoke at the Democratic National Convention. The party also announced they expunged his Republican nominations for lieutenant governor and state representative, and he is not permitted to run as a Republican in future elections. Duncan seemed to take the ban in stride. “Hard to believe this is a good use of time for a party that’s only got a limited amount of time to figure out mass deportations, world peace and global tariffs,” he said on X. The party also urged media outlets to stop referring to Duncan as a Republican and use “expelled” or “ousted” Republican instead.
