Short answer: yesโformer Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan publicly announced heโs now a Democrat. He made it official in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution op-ed on Aug. 5, 2025, saying his shift is rooted in faith (โlove thy neighborโ) and policy disagreements with todayโs GOP.ย
Georgia doesnโt register voters by party, but Duncan also told the AJC he no longer wants to be associated with the GOP; the paperโs news write-up summarized the switch and context.ย
This caps a years-long break: as lieutenant governor he rejected Trumpโs false fraud claims in 2020, later endorsed the Democratic ticket in 2024, and was formally expelled by Georgia Republicans earlier this year.ย
So the headline claim (โheโs now a Democratโ) is accurate; the restโabout motives or โelection integrityโโis opinion. The record shows he opposed efforts to overturn Georgiaโs 2020 results and says his move reflects policy and values, not a sudden pivot.ย
