Inclusion of Marjorie Taylor Greene

Should Marjorie Taylor Greene be included as a potential candidate for Senate? 2600:1700:c400:7d70:4866:f113:201f:defe (talk) keeps adding it into the article, but I can only find a source from the Daily Mail, though the Daily Mail is deprecated per WP:DAILYMAIL and just because someone is in a hypothetical polling doesn't necessarily mean that it's a potential candidate. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 07:07, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Endorsement of Stacy Abrams

It looks like an edit war is starting up regarding Trump's endorsement of her. We should probably resolve that TomatDividedBy0 (talk) 01:36, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

While Trump's "support for Abrams over Kemp" technically isn't false, I don't think the conclusion to this is that Trump endorsed Stacey Abrams necessarily. The background to this is that Trump is critical of Brian Kemp, not supportive of Stacey Abrams unequivocally. WP:Political endorsements states that explicit endorsements only count towards endorsements and I don't thin this one of them. This is similar to when Trump said that he might campaign against Arizona Governor Doug Ducey back in late April; I don't think this was an endorsement then and I don't think the one in Georgia is an endorsement now. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 02:03, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

TL;DR: I don't think this meets as an unequivocal endorsement per no. 3 of WP:Political endorsements#Endorsements by individuals. —twotwofourtysix^{(My talk page and contributions)} 02:22, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

This is not an endorsement. WP:Political endorsement wants explicit endorsements only. Trump made an off the script comment that was merely an attack on Brian Kemp. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 02:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)

Hypothetical polling

Given we don't know who will win the primary elections, all general election polling should be in the "hypothetical polling" section. Prcc27 (talk) 20:48, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello,

In this article, in the Endorsements sections, Hillary Clinton is listed as an executive branch official while Donald Trump is listed as a former executive branch official. Hillary Clinton is no longer serving, so she should also be listed as a former executive branch official as well. 2600:1700:3F90:7040:600D:4B8:D5F:E25 (talk) 21:43, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

 Partly done: The style of noting "Former Executive Branch Official" was non-standard, thus, instead of changing Clinton's category, I've changed Trump's category to make it more standardised. ---CX Zoom(^he/_him) (^{let's talk}|_contribs) 14:01, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Why is Stacey Abrams not being labelled as a "conspiracy theorist"?

She still believes that she has won the 2018 gubernatorial race and refuses to concede. Talk about false voter fraud allegations.

Are there any WP:RS describing her as a conspiracy theorist? Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 03:14, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

I've found some examples of outlets referring to Abrams as a conspiracy theorist. Here's a few:

- https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-stacey-abrams-claims-election-was-rigged-ryan-saavedra

- https://freebeacon.com/culture/we-read-stacey-abramss-romance-novel-turned-tv-show-so-you-dont-have-to/

None of those are reliable sources per WP:RSP. Iamreallygoodatcheckers (talk) 05:33, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

They are reliable, they just dont deliver the facts for your left-wing view point. You are biased. Stacy Abrams is a proven conspiracy theorist, she made up lies about her election loss in 2018 and the article is framed and written in a way to favour left-wing opinions and therefore anti-american and anti-republican talking points. 80.131.61.249 (talk) 21:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Mike Pence endorsement

The opening blurb mentions that Kemp is endorsed by Mike Pence. Is that really notable enough to be included there? I would argue not, endorsements generally aren’t mentioned in that section from what I’ve seen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevingates4462 (talk • contribs) 06:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

I would agree. It’s noteworthy but idk if it should be placed where it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.203.28.160 (talk) 02:44, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: - Needs better sourcing for inclusion. I can't find anything yet, but I'm sure it will come. PianoDan (talk) 17:32, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
