So far, the most important qualities a second Trump Administration nominee can have is not managerial or government experience, but television experience
The Atlanta Air America affiliate AM1690 is now a MAGA radio station and part of the John Fredericks Radio Network. It aired Steve Bannon (No Relation!) until the two had a falling out over a Virginia congressional primary. It was the radio house organ for Trump-backed MAGA candidates in their primaries against Gov. Kemp, et al in 2022. Kemp had WSB on his side and much of the mainstream media desperate for a "good Republican" who had stood up to Trump. That made it hard for Stacey Abrams to say you have to defeat all Republicans to stop Trump. I don't know if an Air America-like station in Atlanta or others in Georgia would have won any races, and radio is declining in listenership, but right-wing talk still dominates the airwaves throughout the state.
You said it. I don't know who owns 1690 anymore. If it's the same guy, her was always a threat to move right. WSB and WGST had all the right-wing talent, so he suffered through with us, and hated every minute.
And away goes trouble down the drain...
Hahaha

Masterful!
Obvious, maybe, but it needs to be said.
